Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my experience with a fake cryptocurrency exchange on Telegram. It's a cautionary tale, and I completely understand if you think I was foolish. English isn't my first language, but I'll do my best to explain.
While browsing a Telegram group called "Crypto arbitrage," I saw an ad for an arbitrage opportunity in another group. It seemed promising, so I clicked it.
Long story short, I ended up on the fake exchange site ("waddex.com") and created an account. The initial arbitrage trades looked profitable, but when I tried to withdraw my funds, they wouldn't let me. The excuse? A "10,000 USD payment test" for account verification. Needless to say, I lost $20,000 USDT.
Looking back, I feel like an idiot. I'm usually very cautious online, double-checking everything. They somehow caught me off guard. Lesson learned: triple-check!
I feel so sorry for you, it just happened the same to me about two weeks ago, they requested me a 5000 USDT deposit to "unlock the withdraw", you can read my story here
Scammed by Waddex.com It sucks, in the end I lost 10k USDT on that very site, I still feel the loss but I am turning the page and looking forward, so I hope you'll do the same.
I'd like to warn you about dexgy.com. It's an exact replica of waddex.com, which is known to be a scam. The logo, graphics and even the LTC arbitrage offers are identical. As with waddex.com, initial operations appear lucrative, but withdrawals are impossible. Don't be fooled! Report this site to protect others.
Those sons of a b**** have a lot of sites like that: waddex.com, dexgy.com, foxbase.com, etc. If you search "crypto arbitrage" on youtube it shows you a lot of scam sites like that, the ones that you have to avoid! It surprises me because there are a lot of youtubers, I mean real people, promoting those scam sites... I mean, how can they do that? It's shameful!
Anyway, I hope you the best, just trying to learn the lesson, look foward in your life and just be very careful with your next decisions about your crypto assets (or your money in general)!
