My scam journey is similar to lor3kcaj. It started with a LINE chat to my phone number by mistake and started a friendly chat and eventually got curious about crypto future trading on the fake CBOT exchange and invested more and more money due to greed and now am out of over $1 million IRA money invested in the fake website and can't withdraw the balance unless I paid the tax which is final kill in the so called pig butchering scam scenario.
I hope my experience served as a warning to others and save them from falling to the scam in time. Looked like cbotcen website will be shutdown as soon as the final butchering phase is complete. Unfortunately, the FBI won't respond in time to catch them while the site is still active
