Bitcoin scam website bigwinpro.cc. lost 5.5 BTCs

[bato1202]

I was scammed by a fake crypto platform called bigwinpro.cc for 5.5 BTC. The website disappeared on Monday October 19th 2020 which is the date where my money was supposed to be available. I transferred between  August and  September almost 50000€ from my bank account to binance platform (19 transactions).
I then transferred the BTCs bought on binance to the address given by this scam website: All transactions were sent to the same address for a total of 5.304 BTC to invest in a potential high profit new crypto called STAI. I now know this is called ICO (Initial Coin Offering) scam.

All started with a Chinese young woman who contacted me on dating site tinder. We started to chat on WhatsApp from July 30th. She immediately talked to me about a new cryptocurrency not yet on the market called STAI supposedly very high profit and confidential project. I followed her instructions given on whatsapp: open a binance account to buy BTC and transfer the  BTC I bought on binance to the address given by this fake platform to invest in this supposed very high profit new
crypto.

I was very stupid. I am desperate I lost almost all I have.

I know I will probably never retrieve my money (bank will not refund me nor binance of course) but if anyone has some suggestions...
I saw there are many payback companies on the internet but I am not sure they can retrieve my money and they all ask about 10% front fee.

Thank you.

My suggestion: Get over it, and focus on ways on making back your money. May it be through a new business, a new gig, whatever. You're just going to waste time trying to think of ways for revenge. I know it's easier said than done, but yea. Go get some fresh air first. Probably visit your family, go out with some friends, something like that. Heck, cry over it if you want to; it helps! Just to get your head out of the expensive mistake first. Then when you get yourself all back together, then start hustlin.

I wish you the best of luck, and don't do anything stupid.

Move this to the Scam Accusations board and add follow the guidelines in formatting your report so people can check out the legitimacy that the site/project is a scam and not just baseless accusation. Try to also provide a transcript of your transaction to make a solid base for your accusation, no one will believe you when there is no evidence. We are in the Internet after all.

Unfortunately, you fell into a classic trap and now there is almost nothing you can do, except try to report the whole thing to the police, because EUR 50 000 is really not a small amount. No offense, but how did it even occur to you to transfer so much money to a complete stranger, was that Chinese woman really that handsome and convincing?

Don't rely on those companies that promise to give you your money back, you'll just experience a new financial loss - it's a fact. What you can do is help others not to fall into the same trap, and you can do that in the part of the forum that is dedicated to just such things. You can move this thread to Scam Accusations (check for move button), and then edit your post following this Scam Report Format.

All I can say is that I'm really sorry that scammers succeed in such simple scams, and that one day they will be caught or that life will punish them in some other way.

All you can do is contact the police, but I'd be very surprised if you got your money back or they found the person but maybe they've been sloppy somewhere and left a digital trail but I'm not sure how thorough the police go into these sorts of cybercrimes. Was there a reason why you were ok with investing 50k into a random cryptocurrency? That's a lot of money to invest in anything and if a person didn't scam you and you invested in 'legit' coin you could have easily just of lost that. Maybe post the txids here and someone can look into where the funds went but I really wouldn't get your hopes up sadly.

All I can say is I was very stupid…sometimes when you are in bad period hope make you do stupid things. The scammer was very convincing on WhatsApp… First I put smalll amount but when I saw this “new crypto” going up about 3% every day I started to believe it and trust this person…
I know police won’t help at all.

I also have the phone number of the person who scammed me based in macao China (+853…) but not sure it’s good idea to post it here.

I know there is probably no way to get back my money. Hope my experience can benefit to others...
This was the biggest mistake of my life, I was never scammed before. I never thought it would happened to me.

[Maasdamer]

Just wow.

How do people fall for that??

Youtube and the internet is full of those scam stories.

Sorry but I really dont get it. Tinder scam is so common these days.

[bato1202]

Sure. Just no need to laugh at me...
Many recovery cryptos funds website on the internet too but I am sure they are scams too.

You are willing victim and that's what she sees in you, any strangers that offer you something about investment, the first thing you do is to have doubts and ask here in the community, so people can give you a reasonable logic if the offer is good, sometimes we run out of reason because of our greed, greed is one of the thing that enslave us.

[janggernaut]

Tbh, when i read the site name i already suspected that would be turned scam. Bigwinpro, how could an investment site name like that name? and it's also offer you with new crypto, which you didn't search before on internet or this forum.

Never trust anyone, especially the stranger who suddenly offer you new investment. Lesson learned at least...

Sure. Just no need to laugh at me...

No, don't trust those sites. You could losing more your money

You will not lose anything if you report the whole case to the police, the scammers just calculate that most people will not do it because they are ashamed that it happened to them. Given that there is a trace of money from your bank to Binance and still to the addresses of scammers, and that you have a phone number through which you communicated with them, it is possible as hilariousetc wrote that your Chinese girl made the wrong move somewhere.

Although there is a small chance that Interpol will do something, you still have the option to send them a report, because as far as I found on the Internet, you are not the only one deceived - your Chinese girl was in contact with other people.

I have been scammed for 12000$. Yes, twelve thousand dollars. Everything happened when I met this girl on tinder. We got match, then started using WhatsApp texting...She said she was from Singapore, 29 years old, model looking, convincing me that she is extremely rich and she showed me platform called bigwinpro.cc where you cannot cash out the money once you put it in.

[FutureAl123]

OK so I too have met a "girl" on Tinder come WhatsApp. Surprise, surprise she is also mega rich and hot blah, blah, blah. I.ve never even invested in crypto but been thinking about it. Anyway she told me of an ICO and when I couldn't find any advertisements on it I was instantly suspicious. She told me I could read about it and sent me to a trading platform. No you can't! It's just an ICO that is losing money.

So the trading platform is called bkccoin.com and the website name does not get a hit in google in any significant way. Then I clicked on the about on their page and it started with "Bigwinpro is a technology commonweal alliance headquartered in Singapore" - Yep new website name and they couldn't event bother to change their about details!! That is what lead me to this thread.

I'm telling this story to act as a warning to others. Do your research and you can spot a scam. It helps to be a cynic too! Now the question is how shall I go about this cyrptocurrency investing lark?? Time to do some research. Happy to have found this website.

Based on how many people have created scam accusations here about a "girl" on tinder introducing them to investments, It looks that there are so many scammers lurking in those social media platforms and lying to random dudes about some Investments or ICOs. It's why these scam accusations are good. They help those people who take time to do some research
