For the record, it is not Trust Wallet that did anything wrong. I accessed a 3rd party application/link through the browser. It was here they had authorized access to all the USDT I held in Trust wallet. I didn't mean for any of you to argue. As recommended by joniboini, I will lock this thread. Thank you to everyone who responded. I made a life-altering mistake that will take me years to recover from, but you all have helped me. Thank you.

Justin.

For the future, under what sub-topic can I use to ask about mining sites? Another person I met on Twitter is trying to convince me to use USDT to get ETH awards. The site she sent me is lendingpool.net. However, when trying to access on desktop computer the site is:

https://defi-lendingpool.club/#/

Here is the same site, but a slightly different address: https://defi-lendingpool.xyz/#/

Oh and another one: https://defi-lendingpool.cc/#/

I'm 99% sure it is another scam attempt...please confirm for me...Thanks!

That's a standard ponzi scam strategy to let the first victims to withdraw to let them vouch for it.
Every ponzi scam that I've seen has done that.
Now, am afraid that girl (cyber friend) will ask you to repay the 70k she lended to you! OP, if this happens, just ignore her. You don't owe her anything.


Looking at it, I think the USDT lent to OP was on their fake site, I've gone through his transaction and wasn't able to see where he received 70k usdt. How will a scammer send their victim 70k? that's a risk on their end, which they can't take. It could be his account balance on the fake site was topped to 70k usdt, and he can't withdraw the money, unless he pays some tax or invests more money. Found on his transaction log, he sent the 100k+ usdt to the scammers. Op get yourself together and don't think of falling mentally ill. It's hard to forget such mistakes, but on the process of making money listen to your instincts, investments with high profits that demands so much from the investor is always a red flag.

If you ever face any confusion regarding cryptocurrency investment get in touch here, that's what the forum is about, helping people follow the right track to genuine cryptocurrency investment, and teach you to avoid losing your hard earned money to the hands of thieves. You can get a therapist, to check your health, that's what matters.

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it! However, it is even worse than you all think. Not only did I give them everything in my bank account, but during the 3 months it went on, I took out 3 personal loans totaling $70,000. Now I know how it feels when someone goes to Vegas and gambles everything away. Everything I ever worked for is gone. But I don't want to tell you all my problems. I was just looking to understand how this could happen and now I know...I'm just gullible and stupid. Thank you to everyone who responded here...

...Oh by the way, after this last time they tried to milk money from me and I basically told them to buzz off, the site no longer exists...

The site is Verirax.com.
So how this site connects to trustwallet?
From what I understand the OP didn't have a clue what he was going to do and didn't do any research, and contented himself with the advice of a stranger on the internet who sure enough guided him step by step and probably convinced him that staking happens through Trustwallet. I still can't understand how someone could be so bold as to send $170,000 and not bother to do a little research before doing so. Do you really think scammers can drug their victims that much?
If the Op publishes the details of the transaction it may be traceable but I regret to repeat to him that he lost those funds forever.

Harsh, but true. lol. I've attached a link after searching my address on Etherscan. https://imgur.com/a/Sq1uPNV. This means I'm officially screwed right?
You can share the link from etherscan or just paste the address instead of showing a screenshot. Well experienced users may help if it's possible to trace the funds. If the funds has been sent to an exchange, you might claim.

Thank you for taking the time for this. I want to note that the person who brought be in on this loaned me around 70K USDT to help pay one of the fees. She said she's staked with them before with no problems. Either way I haven't been doing mentally well as you can imagine. I realize getting my money back is slim to none, but am still eager to learn what is going on here so any insight would be appreciated...thank you!!!

P.S. This is the mining pool in which I'm in and the latest message from customer service. https://imgur.com/a/a3B9YSO (They are very convincing, lol). This is after I paid the latest fee that they called the withdrawal fee. They then said they couldn't withdrawal my funds to my wallet because a hacker changed my address...and now this transfer fee...

The site is Verirax.com.
It's a scam.

I mean, it is immediately obvious just looking at it that it is a scam, but if you spent 5 seconds searching online you would find dozens of other cookie cutter sites with different names using the exact same template. Here is one such example: https://ringmining.info/

They said upon completion of paying this tax, they will give me an ETH award double the tax (125091 USDT).
If anyone tells you to deposit money in order to be allowed to withdraw money, they are trying to scam you.

I have no idea how people throw around $300,000 in to any old shit they come across on Google without a second thought. Sorry OP, but you have lost everything. You will also lose any other money you give to these scammers.

Yes, it appears I've lost $170,000. And to make matters worse, I trusted someone online who gave me this info. I've lost everything. I don't know what to do.

But they have all my money. They won't release to me until I pay them. I've contacted customer support at TRUST. But I know, I think I'm screwed.

Looks like you deposited money on a scam site. Trust wallet is a non custodial wallet that will never "hold" your funds.

Post the link of the website you are using as a wallet here and we see.

The site is Verirax.com. First they said I can't use the funds I earned in the mining pool (153,364 USDT) to pay the capital gains tax, which is 40% (62545 USDT). They said upon completion of paying this tax, they will give me an ETH award double the tax (125091 USDT). And I have only 3 days to complete then there will be a 1% fee. If it's after 5 days my account will be frozen and the tax will increase by another 20%.

You should have explained it better here, instead of opening two threads for it: USDT Loan

You want to pay tax and the tax not deducted from your money? Is that not scam to you? They only want to scam you more and more.

Check the domain name or URL of the site that you staked your coins, you can post it here or do more research to look for the legit site.

It is a scam.

I'm sorry for opening two threads. I saw this sub-forum after. I'm just in a lot of trouble here. I guess I can't attach photos here so I'll try to summarize what their customer service said. The site is Verirax.com. First they said I can't use the funds I earned in the mining pool (153,364 USDT) to pay the capital gains tax, which is 40% (62545 USDT). They said upon completion of paying this tax, they will give me an ETH award double the tax (125091 USDT). And I have only 3 days to complete then there will be a 1% fee.

import your wallet somewhere else using the seed phrase

Can this be done if they are holding my funds? On my wallet home page, it says I hold practically nothing because it's all in the mining pool. However, when I open the browser, that's where it says I have 315K USDT balance.

Hello all, looking for some help. I opened a TRUST wallet account some time ago and transferred USDT from Crypto Exchange. I then was automatically placed in staking activities. At the end of staking, upon trying to return my funds to my wallet, I was notified by customer service I have to pay 62,000+ USDT in capital gains taxes (I am based in Chicago). They are now holding my funds until I pay this tax. I currently have about 315,000 USDT in this wallet. Is this standard practice? I don't have these funds to pay the taxes and my funds will be frozen soon. I can't get a loan for this amount. Is there anything I can do?
12  Economy / Lending / USDT Loan on: March 14, 2023, 12:38:42 PM
I came here out of desperation. I am looking for an emergency USDT loan. My funds are being held in my TRUST wallet until I pay capital gains taxes. I have confirmation from customer service, once the taxes are paid, my funds will be immediately released and even are giving me an ETH award that is double the tax amount once paid. I obviously have no collateral because these funds are being held. Is there any company that provides such a loan? Thank you.
