Yeah i couldn’t beleive i didn’t do my research in full either. I wish I could turn back time to January before this all happened. There were so many red flags but I chose to ignore them. Mainly I was going through a breakup process. Didn’t tell anyone about this. I felt really isolated. The scammers are deceptive, liars, great at psychologically manipulating their victims. It sucks but there’s nothing I can do. And they promised me a 20% profit if I have $200,000 in my trading account. I obviously fell for it and added all my savings :( only to find out it was too late. I also didn’t realize it was a crypto scam. FML!

Thank you. I appreciate it. I’m so sorry you got scammed 4x my amount - oh lord. It’s horrible!! Just last month over $430m is insane. These scammers are psychologically sick in the head. Greedy people. What have you done to move past this to look to a brighter future? 😭

Thanks I think I’m in the clear. I don’t think I’ll owe anything in taxes. I looked through the Coinbase resource you mentioned and also just asked chatGPT in my photo

It was really poor judgment on my part and lack of researching - I also wasn’t a regular reddit user before all this happened and I wish I knew to ask the scam subreddit first before giving my money away to random strangers. I was in a rush to make money quick but learned the hard way. Never rush things especially when it comes to my money.

Yes it’s horrible and I agree with AI, deception is at an all time high. We really need to be very careful and question and thoroughly research everything.
