How losses unfold
The losses build quietly. Each step feels reasonable in the moment, but the whole structure is designed so the exit door is locked exactly when you reach for it.
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.
