I felt completely numb
I felt completely numb. I met someone on Telegram who promised to teach me liquidity pool mining. The scammer even sent me 18.26 ADA with which I registered and deposited into this website, showed me how to trade, and I made some profit and even withdrew 31.17 ADA. The scammer then advised that I invest more so I can get greater rewards. So I took out my life savings for $164,627 and deposited it, followed all the instructions and was able to take my balance to $897,304. I was so excited, so I decided to withdraw $843,725, but was told the amount is too large, I would need to pay a 12% processing fee ($101,247). I quickly took another loan and paid it since I was sure withdrawal was possible because I had withdrawn in the past. Then they demanded another 35% security audit fee, which was when it dawned on me that it was a con. I explained to my credit provider, and he referred me to a cyber tracing company (Fiscop Advisor), who started tracing the movements of the ADA until it was sold on KuCoin. The scammers' bank info was obtained, and he was caught, and the ADA reversed.
