How losses unfold
Victims describe the same slide: a confident pitch, a demo that ‘works’, bigger and bigger deposits, and finally a payout that is always one more fee away. The profits were never leaving the platform.
Red flags on file
- Support goes cold or aggressive the moment you mention withdrawing.
- Contact comes through social media, a dating app, a messaging group or a cold call.
- Withdrawals are delayed, then blocked behind a ‘tax’, ‘anti-money-laundering’ or ‘fraud-score’ fee.
- You are asked to connect a wallet, install remote-access software, or share a seed phrase.
