I felt completely numb
I felt completely numb. It all started on Twitter/X. I connected with someone who offered to show me the ropes of DeFi node operation. To build trust, they forwarded 3.72 SOL to my wallet to register on their platform. I followed their lead, traded, and actually withdrew 10.54 SOL. Convinced it was real, they urged me to scale up. I risked a personal loan totaling $361,882. My dashboard skyrocketed to $1,863,591. Thrilled, I attempted to pull out $1,395,893, only to be hit with a 16% VIP upgrade amounting to $223,342. Desperate, I scrambled to pay it, relying on my previous successful withdrawal as proof it worked. Then came a demand for a 17% risk control deposit. The illusion shattered. I contacted authorities who pointed me to a cybersecurity task force (fiscop advisor). Their investigators tracked the SOL straight to Huobi P2P market, identified the culprit's bank details, and successfully recovered the stolen funds.
