Hello, I read your post and I am interested in what happened, because I have such a suggestion?

[dentolas]

I am sorry, but everything points to scam... but it is not crypto that is faulty... it is your assessment (sorry to be blunt but this is what I think)...
So, you've trusted someone without investigating anything about the project or the exchange (no webpages, social media accounts, etc), someone that you know only online and for a month, you invested your whole balance into one unknown coin on an unknown exchange... you bought just because someone told you to... surprised about this being scam?
This is something that also happens outside crypto, and I bet that it would be a lot harder for you to send USD to a strage website just because a stranger said so

Hi Guys,

I fell into the same trap. A chinese girl matched with me on Tinder, we started talking and she mentioned "Kolomine.com", "VOT". Initially I thought she was just trying to still money from me. I went along through the whole process and saw that I was able to buy VOT. I'm a newbie, I thought the fact that my money appeared in the other end it could be genuine. Then I started educating myself about crypto currency market until I found about ICO Coins and that's a high risk investment, after that I started looking to get more info about VOT, that's when I found this thread.

My mistake was to invest with emotion, I invested in the dream of making money and ignored the red flags along the way.

I lost nearly 2BTC. I learned my lesson the very hard way. Never to thrust strangers, never to invest with emotion and excitement and without knowledge.


Hope my story can save you your money.

all the best.
Marcos

waw! i can only say sorry for your lost, as a newbie i can only imagine how you felt finding out that the project you invested on and hoped on is a total scam, am sure now that girl can no longer be reached, it is always good to do research online, ask questions in relevant forums to support your understanding,
there are so many of them out there looking for innocent victims, you should do well to stay away from them, there are lots of helpful topics here in forum to help you understand this space better and how to avoid bad projects and what to look out for.
just keep a positive mind and hopefully you will regain your funds back in some other legit project (i.e if you are still interested to continue on being in crypto).

People wont eventually learn if they wont experience these kind of losses.Im not saying that it would really be necessary but in most cases we do end up on this one initially when people does have
zero knowledge plus having that some sort of greedy nature within us.Newbies will always be the target by those scammers just for them to extract out money from them and since
people do easily react with easy profits or money making opportunities then this is the time on when we are mostly blinded and then realized it soon but its already too late.
We should be careful and be sensible towards our actions and never ever easily be fooled out when strangers do reach out to you randomly offering this and like that
because 99% chance it is just tending to scam you.

A bit of the same story here and I'm only here to make it possible for others to find via Google.
I also met a very pretty Chinese lady on Tinder, who said that she was living in Shenzhen. She soon wanted to continue via Whatsapp and told me that she had several gyms in China and she referred to the website whytewoolf.com. She was divorced and she said that she bought a house with the help of her parents, without whom she couldn't have done that. We chatted almost every day for a bit more than a week. She came across as a very nice lady and she sent quite a lot of photos, a few videos and voice apps. She sounded cute AND was way too pretty for a guy like me ;-)

She mentioned a few times that she had to take a look at her VOT in the evening. I didn't know what that was. And then she said that she was very happy one day, because her VOT rose quite a lot. She had invested for something like 43.000 dollars at 0.3 points and it had now gone up to 3.9. I asked her how long ago she invested into it. And answered that that was a month ago, but she was now going to instruct a class mate of hers on how to register and buy and she'd get back to me. I was intrigued.... I had dollar(or actually euro)-signs in my eyes and felt greed coming over me. She then referred to the kolomine.com website.......
I directly googled on experiences with kolomine and encountered this and a few more websites, indicating that it was a scam!
You had to pay with Ethereum or Bitcoin.

I then pasted a few links with warnings for a scam. It 'shocked' her, she was grateful to me. And I asked her if she was real, or that this was an elaborate way to trick me.
And then her reply got heated "What's wrong with you?Cheat you?What do I get out of it?" "Now I have to tell you, I'm tired of you, and I'm still checking out the gym, and you're calling this a f#cking scamOK, you do your own thing, don't try to ask me for VOT news."
And that was the last I heard of her. I then also used images.google.com and searched one of the first photos she sent me. It found a hit... It was a very nice looking Chinese fitness model, who was on weibu, facebook and instagram. I sent her a message that someone was misusing her photos and videos, but I doubt if she got that message.

The name the scammer used:
Tang Siyao
The phone number she used:
+852 5534 7824
The number still seems to be active (probably chatting up to other "helpless, romantic" men)
Don't fall for it.

With kind regards,
drikj

This is a pure scam and most often, when it is too good to be true, probably it is. This is nothing else but a scam since you have experienced this before, you could have take caution and find out first as you are doing now before any commitment.

[Petrkoel2]

they are fraudsters, also beware of pseudo companies that will offer you help, their only goal is to rob you even more or they are the exact same people who offer fraudulent advertising

[Renampun]

I hope you can learn about this...
since 2 years ago, many new exchange projects have ended in scams, their goal is only to collect money from the sale of their tokens without wanting to develop their exchange, once again sorry for your loss.

[stompix]

There is a new scam going around.
Same story here: Girl on Tinder, claming to made a lot of money with BTC after a hint from her uncle at Wallstreet in 2015.

A random girl on Tinder who made a lot of money is contacting strangers to invest in something because....

Now she's investing in WMC (Wisdom Medical Coin) on ZG.com saying it will skyrocket (hint from her uncle)
Website of the coin: https://www.wmc-web.com/
Whitepaper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BZeOC18M4s2xGrZMZibyYfHrALDdPPM9/view
Is the whole website also a scam?

A shitty token will revolutionize the treatment of mental health illness and not only that, it will make you tons of money. Because....
No info about whois behind it, no company no names yet they claim:

WMC has started drug research and development work with well-known pharmaceutical companies after obtaining the investment, and has entered the clinical trial period recently. After the end of the trial period, the wisdom medical team will put the drug into use in a large scale in the world. The profit from the sale will be used for the next drug research and development, wisdom medical robot research and development, and to maintain the good operation of WMC in the secondary market.

Oh, 30 days old website, of course, another sign of a reputable old company.


If they are so profitable why the hell do they need more money, is it because...
Yeah, another ICO scam stay away from it.

With just common sense then you can definitely say that this is indeed a scam.Who the hell with lots of money in BTC would suggest any investment decisions they would make?

If they do have hints for some price pump and dumps then they wont surely tell a thing to anyone.Dont ever trust up online for those who do suggest something

that it would pump blah blah blah. We've known on how this market becomes shitty when it comes to new projects and so as with new exchange scams on where op is talking all about.

Just looked at the website and white paper. Do not be lied to and don't buy anything. It's just one of those shitty ICOs which will always turn into an exit scam. The want to take your valuable BTC or ETH in exchange for their Valueless ERC20 tokens  that are so easy to create from the Ethereum Network.

[shasha101]

Well before investing such larger amount of money, you should have completely analyzed the project through Whitepaper , founder and team member details with their connecting medias. There is increasing number of scam projects, where many are easily falling on their traps.

Before investing analyze the WP, team member details and join there community and watch their activities, if there is anything fishy you can prevent yourself from cheating.

It's good now you have shared the experience with the project name so others can be aware.

Many people lost their hard money with new exchange. I also lost some money with new exchange. But luckily I did not lost big amount. I was lost small amount in fake Bcnex exchange and EOSex exchange. So I would like to warn everyone please do careful and research properly when you are going to deal with new exchange. Because they looks totally real and sometimes in Begining they makes you to withdraw your fund and when you trust on them they seized everything and go away.. I am only trading on binance and poloniex.

Why trade on new exchanges if there are already trusted exchanges to trade. Mostly new exchanges it takes them years before they can attract traders on thier platform.

maybe he got attracted to the offer of new exchange thats why he tried it . i also did the same  . there is something with the new exchange or new websites that makes us tempted to try them but at the same time we feel nervous  .
 maybe because old sites that we already use do already gave what they got and cant give more and we are looking for that missing piece on new sites  .

[bitcoinisbest]

It is always advisable to use the reputed exchanges or sites which has a good reputation and are also trustworthy. If somebody want to stay away from scam, then they will have to avoid any such new sites which comes up and not sure about it. They may show some lucrative offers but always be cautious rather than regretting later.

[Smartvirus]

So many steps and devices are been crafted by scammers to plague our system. One can not be too careful this days. It's well. Seeing the steps you took in verifying the authenticity, I mean, it's what many user would do but, with the idea of phishing in mind, it's best you stick to what you know or your used to.

[malikg18]

I listened this exchange first time, we should deal with good and reputable exchanges. Along with crypto industry is gradually increasing Scammers also using new and new techniques for stoling money of peoples.Take care yourself.
