Panic completely took over
Panic completely took over. It all started on Facebook Dating. I connected with someone who offered to show me the ropes of liquidity pool mining. To build trust, they forwarded 19.64 ETH to my wallet to register on their platform. I followed their lead, traded, and actually withdrew 49.64 ETH. Convinced it was real, they urged me to scale up. I risked a business loan totaling $460,649. My dashboard skyrocketed to $3,138,598. Thrilled, I attempted to pull out $2,615,533, only to be hit with a 18% network validation fee amounting to $470,795. Desperate, I scrambled to pay it, relying on my previous successful withdrawal as proof it worked. Then came a demand for a 19% international release fee. The illusion shattered. I contacted authorities who pointed me to a digital forensics firm (Fiscop-Advisor). Their investigators tracked the ETH straight to Bybit P2P, identified the culprit's bank details, and successfully recovered the stolen funds.
