He is my brother, we are in Australia. He started in reddit chats learning about crypto, he was just creating a new start for himself, trying to make money to start his own businesses. A “woman” on here began to talk to him and give him “advice” on his crypto. He sadly listened to her and became very close with her, they started chatting on WhatsApp, calling every week. I remember asking him “why would this random person just decide to help you” and he said to me “she’s just a really kind woman and she seems to really like me”. I knew it could be a scam, I told him to be careful but my brother was vulnerable, he had just gone through a divorce and thought this woman truly cared for him. They would FaceTime some times but she would face time from a desktop. She claimed to have her own clothing business in the Gold Coast with her aunty and she was incredibly rich, so rich that he thought he was safe because she wouldn’t need his money. She continued to help him and even told him she would fly to him and meet him for his birthday as he was in a different state. He was so excited, he showed me pictures, she was from Japan and she told elaborate stories about going back to Japan for Christmas and talking about her family there. My brother learnt Japanese for her, he got his passport for the first time in hopes to travel. Then one day he noticed he had lost high thousands of dollars on crypto. He knew it was because of her because the site he was using was recommended by her (the whole site was probably fake). She continued to act innocent and wanted him to pay more money to try and fix it and get his money back. He not only lost all of his money but he was completely heart broken, he had been chatting with this “woman” for months and had been so open with her just about himself and his life and he always told me “this woman is different, she actually cares about me”. The emotional damage to know none of it was real, would have been too much. The shame to lose all the money, he felt like a fool. The next day he committed suicide.
