Stolen Bitcoin Lost To An Investment

Postby John316 » 28 Nov 2024, 20:19

I became "friends" with someone over one and a half years. It was a scam. They sold me on some money making arbitrage program. I invested bitcoin worth of $2000. They had me transfer from Coinbase to trust wallet and then to web3. I saw this was a scam after I sent it. When I try to withdraw my funds it doesn't let me type any other numerical value except for 0. And now my "friend" is texting from a google number. I made a report with the FBI. The 7 day order expired and nothing happened. I also emailed the trust wallet support to ask to cancel the transfer but it said complete. I was confused and needed to stay alive. Fortunately, I read some reviews about Recuva and they saved my life. Stolen Bitcoin Lost To An Investment

Sorry to hear you were scammed like that John316. Did you manage to get any of your money back?

Really sorry to hear about your experience. Scams like the one you described can be devastating, specially when you've invested a big amount of money and built a relationship with someone you thought you could trust.

What do you mean you send it to web3? Web3.0 is just standard for new internet technologies.

This is a very sad incident. Did Recuva help you in this case?

This is why it is sometimes good to only use your spare money to new schemes. Always only invest money you can lose

You have to study everything about a crypto scheme and understand for yourself before you commit to it.

Yes, don't just hear someone talk about a scheme and you jump at it
it might not be a good investment

Right. Just because a scheme sounds appealing or someone speaks highly of it doesn’t guarantee its legitimacy.
