Embarrassment washed over me
Embarrassment washed over me. I met someone on Twitter/X who promised to teach me flash loan trading. The scammer even sent me 1.73 SOL with which I registered and deposited into this website, showed me how to trade, and I made some profit and even withdrew 2.86 SOL. The scammer then advised that I invest more so I can get greater rewards. So I took out my life savings for $559,298 and deposited it, followed all the instructions and was able to take my balance to $2,471,185. I was so excited, so I decided to withdraw $2,232,224, but was told the amount is too large, I would need to pay a 7% gas fee deposit ($156,255). I quickly took another loan and paid it since I was sure withdrawal was possible because I had withdrawn in the past.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 29% 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 crypto asset recovery team (FiscopAdvisor), 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.
