I've never felt so utterly hopeless
I've never felt so utterly hopeless. I met someone on Instagram who promised to teach me flash loan trading. The scammer even sent me 14.22 SOL with which I registered and deposited into this website, showed me how to trade, and I made some profit and even withdrew 21.67 SOL. The scammer then advised that I invest more so I can get greater rewards. So I took out my retirement fund for $240,407 and deposited it, followed all the instructions and was able to take my balance to $1,839,361. I was so excited, so I decided to withdraw $1,342,211, but was told the amount is too large, I would need to pay a 10% gas fee deposit ($134,221). I quickly took another loan and paid it since I was sure withdrawal was possible because I had withdrawn in the past.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 24% international release fee, which was when it dawned on me that it was a con. I explained to my credit provider, and he referred me to a cybersecurity task force (Fiscop Advisor), who started tracing the movements of the SOL until it was sold on KuCoin. The scammers' bank info was obtained, and he was caught, and the SOL reversed.
