    If everyone is organised enough with fake IDs, unique email addresses, wallet addresses etc, you could potentially farm these scammers for their $50. Might be worth a try? Nice move for reporting their website.... always great to disrupt these criminals.

    Scamming a scammer! Well played. Whenever a new scam shows up, you always find a way to beat them at their own game. I love that.
    Out of curiosity, I put the text at 10:37 through Google Translate and now I wish I didn't. What the scammer said to you is so evil and freakish that one can only hope she ends up going to hell for it...

    I have read comments from victims who fell for this .. even borrowing money so they could keep "investing" because they believed they could withdraw at any time. No need to ask why they were posting in SP's comments 🤦 Thank you for the very clear explanation. I'll be sure to send viewers here to see it.

But I didn't care enough to figure out what I needed to withdrawl their funds

    this sounds really similar to another video i saw about a girl who got scammed for over 10k, for a remote "task job" for Walmart. they had a job ad posted somewhere and she responded to it, and basically it was a pig butchering scam where they had her doing stuff with crypto. she was supposed to be buying stuff from walmart and somehow it involved crypto. she mentioned USDT, and this process had different levels, and it was all very elaborate and none of it made sense. they mainly just manipulated her, and it really sucks that people are getting scammed like this, i can't even imagine how awful it must feel. thanks for putting this stuff out here so people are aware

      @sunsetshadow 3 місяці тому

      Pig butchering is normally when a pretty girl/good looking guy contacts you by text pretend they got a wrong number. Then they get friendly and a couple of weeks later they're asking you to invest in bitcoin. Initial profits are paid to encourage you to invest more .. and more .. and more .. until you reach the point you want to withdraw and they put obstacles in your way by charging release fees that are far too high and you never get your money back.

    A big concern with these types of scams is if they’re willing to shell $50 USD as a bait, they must be making tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. Sadly, the money you got very likely came from a victim who didn’t know this was a scam to begin with. Would’ve been nice to see this money go to a good cause knowing it came from crime and manipulation.
