Tears of frustration blinded me
Tears of frustration blinded me. I met someone on Hinge who promised to teach me smart contract staking. The scammer even sent me 18.83 BNB with which I registered and deposited into this website, showed me how to trade, and I made some profit and even withdrew 36.72 BNB. The scammer then advised that I invest more so I can get greater rewards. So I took out my inheritance for $513,089 and deposited it, followed all the instructions and was able to take my balance to $2,100,706. I was so excited, so I decided to withdraw $1,566,139, but was told the amount is too large, I would need to pay a 17% gas fee deposit ($266,243). I quickly took another loan and paid it since I was sure withdrawal was possible because I had withdrawn in the past.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 35% risk control deposit, which was when it dawned on me that it was a con. I explained to my credit provider, and he referred me to a on-chain tracking firm (Fiscop-Advisor), who started tracing the movements of the BNB until it was sold on Kraken P2P. The scammers' bank info was obtained, and he was caught, and the BNB reversed.
