I just had an interesting call with my friend’s cousin. Here’s the story!
Apparently, he was investing at bitwise-pro.com via a trading manager. Poor guy had sent them first 4k euros which they said after 6 months that your money is now doubled and ready for withdrawal =)
They were also in constant communication with him week after week showing him his fake profits.
Then they ask him to send an additional 2k euros (refundadable) as transaction fees. Which he did unfortunately!
Next step they asked him to create a “Coinbase Wallet” and they transferred 10k USDT in it using binance smart chain. Which he now can’t withdraw because it needs BNB.
So now they told him to transfer additional 2.5k worth of BNB for the swap of USDT so he can withdraw into his bank account. This is where I got to know, and I stopped him where doing that.
All of his story is filled with red flags and classic scamming techniques but he ignored all of it.
For newbies: If you see any post on any of the social media platform regarding a trading advisor or platform which will double your money in a few months. That is a scam!
These scammers really feed on your greed and laziness. They are patient, and will prey on your naiveness, they will discuss fake strategies with you for months to gain your trust for you to send money, and then snap.
This post is a reminder to anyone who is involved with similar websites / platforms, pls STOP!
