Embarrassment washed over me
Embarrassment washed over me. I met someone on Instagram who promised to teach me yield farming. The scammer even sent me 8.84 SOL with which I registered and deposited into this website, showed me how to trade, and I made some profit and even withdrew 13.74 SOL. The scammer then advised that I invest more so I can get greater rewards. So I took out my life savings for $672,720 and deposited it, followed all the instructions and was able to take my balance to $4,360,756. I was so excited, so I decided to withdraw $3,677,626, but was told the amount is too large, I would need to pay a 10% VIP upgrade ($367,762). I quickly took another loan and paid it since I was sure withdrawal was possible because I had withdrawn in the past.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 26% secondary tax, which was when it dawned on me that it was a con. I explained to my credit provider, and he referred me to a private intel firm (F'iscop-Advisor), who started tracing the movements of the SOL until it was sold on Huobi P2P market. The scammers' bank info was obtained, and he was caught, and the SOL reversed.
