They contacted me on WhatsApp after matching on Hinge. Walked me through 'investing' on their platform for weeks, showed fake profits. When I tried to withdraw they demanded a 20% 'tax' upfront. That's when I realized.

Got a 'hot tip' in a Telegram signals group. The dashboard looked professional, showed me making 3x in 10 days. Any withdrawal attempt asked for more deposits.

Support told me to download 'AnyDesk' to verify my wallet. I'm certain they drained it while I wasn't looking.

How this scam type works

From our Investment & Crypto Scams guide.

The approach. A stranger messages you on a dating app, LinkedIn, or via a 'wrong number' text. They're polished, attractive, and curiously eager to chat.
Move to WhatsApp / Telegram. Within days they push the conversation off the platform. This removes moderation and keeps your chat history out of reach if the original account gets banned.
Building trust (the 'fattening'). Weeks of good-morning texts, life updates, shared photos. No money talk — yet. They become a fixture in your day.
The 'opportunity'. Casually they mention an uncle/mentor/platform that's making them rich. They show screenshots of profits. Eventually they offer to 'teach' you on a platform they trust.
The slaughter. Small initial deposits succeed. The dashboard shows fast gains. You deposit more. When you try to withdraw, you're told about a 'tax,' 'unlock fee,' or 'compliance deposit.' The money is already gone.
