Hi,
I’m from Malaysia and working in Singapore. At the end of September, I met a girl on Instagram who said she was from Taiwan. We started chatting and developed some romantic feelings. She kept encouraging me to get into the cryptocurrency market.
At first, she asked me to take out 1,000 USDT and deposit it into an app called MetaMask, then transfer it into a Web3 wallet called "https://www.volcanoexech.com." I started doing node trading and earning interest. The wallet showed that I earned over 300 USDT, and she encouraged me to withdraw some money to verify. I successfully withdrew over 300 USDT.
She then persuaded me to increase the amount to 10,000 USDT. I told her I didn’t have enough money, so she helped me raise the amount, with me contributing around 7,000 USDT and her adding 3,000 USDT. We continued trading and earning interest, and the wallet balance grew to about 14,000 USDT.
Next, she started saying that I needed to raise the amount to 50,000 USDT so we could live a good life together. I began borrowing money from the bank, and with her help, we raised 50,000 USDT, where I contributed 9,000 USDT, and she contributed 29,000 USDT. We followed the same process as before, trading and earning interest, and the total in the wallet increased to 89,000 USDT.
However, she kept pushing me to increase the amount to 100,000 USDT. When I told her I didn’t have enough money, she suggested withdrawing the 89,000 USDT and repaying her first. I followed her instructions, transferring the funds from the Web3 wallet to MetaMask. At this point, my Web3 wallet got frozen, and I was informed that there were suspicious funds in the wallet. These suspicious funds were deposited into my wallet by her.
The Web3 wallet required me to pay a security deposit of 50% (approximately 17,000 USDT) to unfreeze the funds. I told her I didn’t have the money and begged her for help since she had initially claimed to be wealthy. However, she refused to help, and my wallet remained frozen.
A few days ago, I could still see the 89,000 USDT in the Web3 wallet, but now everything is gone.
Thank you for reading this.
