hey @Potato Chips, thanks so much for sharing the evil manipulation pig butchering scam scheme, from the article that you have shared, I found a local support group, consisting of many victims, we are working with our local police dept on investigation and fbi in hopes of getting the scammers discovered and exposed! Should any victims out there reading this forum post and you require help / advice / support - you can visit http://globalantiscam.org for more info.

Thank you again @Potato Chip, if I have known of such highly trained manipulative scammers, this wouldn't be such a costly & painful lesson.

I now ponder as well, with much much regret.

Not sure what the heck was in my mind then, I could have filtered it away, not sure what i started have conversation on WhatsApp with her. Tested with very small amount on the platform and above to withdraw successfully back, probably since then my defence system went down.

Got suspiciously 2x more times, but still able to withdraw successfully.

Definitely not due to lust or having any sly convo, on hindsight, I guess it was greed of the investment returns, which locked me in and then screwed ball.

For people reading this thread, if you have this suspicious feeling in your heart or mind or any cell in your body, please trust it. Don't get blindly like me. FUG me.

hi @holydarkness,

Saw the very faint liner. Yes, I am the victim that was being scammed that is raising awareness.

Thanks for copying the content over and summarising.

In respond to "I am leaning toward a very likely scenario where their trading platform is rigged so you'll easily made profit to lure you into trusting them. Thus, let's say you deposited 1,000 USD and made 99,000 usd of trading "profit", the total amount scammed is not actually 100K, but rather 1,000.", according to the screenshot, the customer told me to pay USD101680, that's 20% of the account balance. I invested around 100K USDT and followed chenxialing 陈曉玲 to flip to around 500+K USDT (which obviously everything is fake now). See below screenshot as evidence:


(sorry, i don't know how to add an image inline)

hey logfiles,

The full story is on my blog article, it has screenshots of the scam crypto website and mobile apps. It is kind of tag long to type into a post.

How you trusted someone on Instagram with 100K USDT beats my understanding << you are freaking right? I am totally bewildered now as well, I guess I was totally blinded with greed and sheer foolishness. In fact, I did tried to withdraw 3 times from this sham platform back to Huobi, and they worked. I would say these scammers really know how to play mind games to fool/trick victims into their ploy.

Alright, you can say that i am sheer stupid. I still cannot understand my mind as well, although at the back of my mind something is sounding, but I still went ahead. pure dumbness.

Hi fellow good people,

I was recently scammed by a fake IG user, introducing me to this sham crypto platform known as Cryptogro, then changed to CBOT.

Would like to post my story here, so that good innocent people are aware and don't fall into the similar plight as I do. I lost around 100K USDT, super painful experience. Please do not trust anyone from social channels, like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok etc

I have filed an official Police report with our local Police, hopefully they could help, which I have very very low expectations anything could happen.

I hope the moderators and users here could help to share the article, trying to get as much reach as possible so that the scammers get hit in their operations.

Thanks a million.
