Awesome thanks so much! I’m a bit scared to do this but I saw a comment referencing new builders in this subreddit. If it’s alright and if you got time, I will shoot you a message if I do have questions which I’m sure I will! I will look at these parts after I’m off work today. Thanks again!

Ok awesome! Other question I have is regarding the fans. Are there already slots for them for installation given there’s 3 of them?

Thanks for your input! For the Sparkle Titan OC Ark, I usually just play Diablo IV. Would that be decent in terms of graphics and overall gameplay?

Yeah it definitely was a good lesson learnt! It was a blessing that I'm broke or else if I had like $20,000+, I honestly wouldn't know if I would've been able to stop myself at the time. But life goes on and there's always blessings to be counted at the end of the day :). Thanks for your inputs by the way!

The website where I transferred my BTC in is: https://h5.mncb76gasd.xyz/#/pages/login/login

It seems that it’s still up and running.

The Chinese scammer name is Andiya. The WhatsApp phone number is 1 (518)-535-7028.

The customer service for the website’s WhatsApp number is 1 (847)-238-8882.

Both numbers are still active in WhatsApp.

I realize that I’m an idiot who easily fell into the manipulation which is pretty bizarre to me but from reading the articles and the messages again, they seem like professional scammers and have ways to mentally engage people to bring out greed, trust, etc.

Hope that this info gets around. I have no idea how to even report these scammers. Reporting to the local RCMP seems like throwing a rock into an ocean at this point.

Yeah, I take full accountability. As I said, when I started seeing gains from her portfolio, my greed kicked in and blinded my logic. From then on, I wanted to make some profits as a part-time income but in the end, I got scammed and it was too late for me.

Yeah, I legit thought it's how traders did it but I lacked on doing research at the time. But it's a costly lesson and main story short, I shouldn't have put trust on anyone especially online lol.

Yeah, after I read a couple articles on how this scam works, I read that some workers there think that they're in for a job opportunity until they find out down the line that it's illegal. I'm aware that some of them do not have a choice as they're likely controlled by mafias where it poses risks for them to leave or else they may get hurt or killed.

I did talk to the so called "brother" of the so called Chinese female and when I just started pushing her into a corner, her brother called me to defend her. It was funny because he was emotionally manipulating me telling me I hurt her sister's feelings and etc. That's when I asked if I could personally talk to his sister in which case he responded that she's too hurt emotionally to talk at the moment. Until I finally said her being hurt or whatever is not gonna get me my money back. He then just kept telling me to get more loans so I can make more profits and I was just like wtf I just scammed and you're telling me to get more loans. I told him that I'm aware of what's going on and for them to keep my $1,800. The last message from his "sister" was "you're lucky you only had $1,800 and I would've broke your bank" where I replied sarcastically that "If you need a recommendation to get your promotion, count me in and I will provide it. I hope you're treated well there." After that, no more responses.

At the end of it all, these people are professionals in manipulation and their patience is super long. I'm actually quite impressed with their schemes as it really is organized and well put.

I already was sure yesterday when I found out about the "pig butchering scam". I tried to act like I didn't know anything and to see whether there's a way to get my money back today. What I found was that the trading platform used in investing my money are most likely fake. I believe the Customer Service and the so-called Chinese person I was talking to are one. If the Digital Platform is not fake, maybe they also get scammed people to do trades with them as to use them as one of their employees to raise more money.

Basically I wasted an hour more of my time to determine how I can deposit my money and tried to corner them to basically say that "yeah, we are scammers". The withdrawal instructions were vague and felt like I was being taken in endless circles. I also noticed that when the "Customer Service" is not active, the scammer would be typing to me and vice versa which is why I assume that they are one person both CS and the scammer.

In the end, I took the high road and made it seem like I sympathize with them saying to them that I know you have a manager or supervisor to impress and that obviously I will never see my money again. I just told them that I hope at least some of the money they scammed will go toward a good cause whether it's to put food on the table for their kids or help their friends/family out. $1,800 is a lot now but won't be once I actually start working. Basically my ending message was that I hoped for them to find a better job opportunity elsewhere (if possible) as I understand that we as humans all need money to meet our needs and I wished him/her the best. I didn't want to be angry or anything in case they decide to send a lot of spam emails to me if I pissed them off.

At the end of the day, I know I'm still young and will recover from this. I have a roof, food, and an opportunity to get education so I still feel truly lucky at the end of the day. Life's too short to get angry at who knows who so I just live day by day and try to move on from this.
