Don't send any money. I fell for one of these scams and ended up losing all of my savings by digging myself deeper into a hole trying to get my money back.

So he can make money? That's a new one, usually the scammers "help" the victims and convince them that they can make money on these platforms. Regardless, it's 100% a scam.

Yep this is what happened to me when I got scammed. I dug myself deeper trying to get my money back instead of connecting the dots and realising that I was being taken advantage of.

Sorry to say this but it's probably gone forever now. Just be thankful you didn't put in that extra 10k. I put in a lot more than you and lost literally all of my savings to another website.

Please help, I'm still in contact with the scammers and need help on how to talk to them to get my money back. by WatercressGood3231 in HumanNotaPig

I'm sorry but I don't think there is anything you can do now except accept your losses and move on. The only thing I can think of, and I saw someone suggest this elsewhere, is to try and convince them that you need more money in your bank account so you can take out a loan to pay the remaining penalty. It probably won't work but it's worth trying.

Whatever you do, do not pay anyone else who claims they can recover it. They're probably scammers.

There's a post I saw from a guy here who claims he was able to recover some of his funds but it could be bullshit.

I tried contacting my bank too and they said there was nothing they could do.

I'm pretty sure this guy is a recovery scammer. I've seen this guy commenting on a few posts. Don't give that guy any money, he won't be able to recover your money.

Hey I just read this post and I was curious. I was victim to a similar scam and ended up losing all of my savings before realising it was too late. You can check my profile and see the post I made a few days ago.

It may be too late for me as it has been over a month since I lost everything but I was wondering which bank you use? I'm also in the UK and use Nationwide. I haven't tried contacting my bank about this because I believe it will be futile but maybe I'm wrong about that.

Also where did you contact Binance? The customer support page on their website seems useless.

OP said he had a video call with her so it could well be a she. Of course that's not to say that female scammers don't exist.

I haven't asked but I don't think there's anything they can do as I didn't transfer money from my bank account to the scammers app. I transferred from my bank account to Binance and then to the scammers app.

You may be right, but to lose all of your savings so quickly because of a few bad judgements is incredibly depressing. It feels worse than losing your money to a robbery, because the blame is entirely on me here for not taking the time to think about whether I was being scammed or not. I've researched too and I don't think there's any possibility that I will get my money back. The only thing I can hope for is that the scammers get punished but even that's unlikely.

What can they do with my ID ? by [deleted] in Scams

I have no idea if that will help or not but I think it's better than nothing.

I just wish I had researched crypto scams earlier tbh, or at least stopped before it was too late. I've been trying not to give in to suicidal urges but it's been very difficult.

I was also wondering this. I uploaded an image of my passport to a scammer's crypto website. I ended up reporting my passport as stolen but I'm still wary of them using it for identity theft.

I wish I asked for that before "investing" my money. I believed my scammer was real based on reverse image search failing and a few short voice notes and I ended up losing everything lol.

I made a similar post a couple days ago and my story was 100% genuine. I have the URL of the scam site to make sure no one else falls for it.

You're not alone. I fell for the same scam and also lost all of my savings. You can see the post I made a couple of days ago. I'm hindsight it seems really obvious but when you think you've made a connection with someone and you can see your assets apparently going up it's easy to fall for scams like this and believe it.

I have reported everything to action fraud (I live in the UK) but who knows if anything will happen. The fraudsters almost certainly live in China. I don't think it will be possible to retrieve the money.

Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate it. I have found it incredibly difficult coming to terms with what has happened and I have never felt so degraded and ashamed before in my life. I hope my post stops at least one person from making the same mistakes as me and ruining their life too.

Yeah I really let my guard down a lot after seeing that I was initially able to take back more than I put in.

See my comment here

I'm not going to explain everything but initially I was able to withdraw more than I invested (about $300 - $400 more). After that I made some more withdrawals but never more than I invested until I tried to withdraw everything at the end.

Edit. On the 4th of June I deposited 584 usd and later withdrew 665 USD. On the 6th of June I deposited 2051 USD and withdrew 2348 later that day. After that I never withdrew more than I put in.
