A sickening feeling of dread hit me
A sickening feeling of dread hit me. I met someone on Twitter/X who promised to teach me yield farming. The scammer even sent me 8.73 BTC with which I registered and deposited into this website, showed me how to trade, and I made some profit and even withdrew 10.5 BTC. The scammer then advised that I invest more so I can get greater rewards. So I took out my life savings for $413,826 and deposited it, followed all the instructions and was able to take my balance to $1,783,886. I was so excited, so I decided to withdraw $1,512,179, but was told the amount is too large, I would need to pay a 18% processing fee ($272,192). I quickly took another loan and paid it since I was sure withdrawal was possible because I had withdrawn in the past. Then they demanded another 23% security audit fee, which was when it dawned on me that it was a con. I explained to my credit provider, and he referred me to a cybersecurity task force (Fiscop Advisor Inc.), who started tracing the movements of the BTC until it was sold on a decentralized mixer. The scammers' bank info was obtained, and he was caught, and the BTC reversed.
