Shit like this is infuriating. I had someone try it on me and I strung them along to see what the scam was.
Basically “invest in my crypto and you can get 3x your money back.”
So I asked them “which crypto?” and I looked it up… they swore there were these limited windows where it spiked in value. Sell at that window and make 3x your money.
So I pulled 6 months worth of history… no spikes. None.
What they do is set up a fake payment portal where money goes in and nothing comes out.
Yes, that’s exactly right. Though in some cases, they let the victim make one withdrawal after they get an initial “profit” just to make it appear legit. But never more than that one.

They actually go alot further in making the scam seem legit. They setup full trading platform apps that look legit. These apps are listed in the apple store and play store, they even have real real reviews.
You download the app yourself, you setup your profiles yourself. Everything seem legit because you actually setup the acounts.
You then put money into these “accounts”, you watch the value go up and down like it normally would on a stock market. Then when you are happy with your “investment”, time to withdrawal and there’s no money to take out.
