I felt so foolish and betrayed
I felt so foolish and betrayed. It all started on LinkedIn. I connected with someone who offered to show me the ropes of flash loan trading. To build trust, they forwarded 18.05 ETH to my wallet to register on their platform. I followed their lead, traded, and actually withdrew 27.32 ETH. Convinced it was real, they urged me to scale up. I risked a second mortgage totaling $356,359. My dashboard skyrocketed to $1,197,702. Thrilled, I attempted to pull out $1,002,973, only to be hit with a 10% liquidity release fee amounting to $100,297. Desperate, I scrambled to pay it, relying on my previous successful withdrawal as proof it worked. Then came a demand for a 17% wallet verification fee. The illusion shattered. I contacted authorities who pointed me to a blockchain intelligence agency (F'iscop-Advisor). Their investigators tracked the ETH straight to a decentralized mixer, identified the culprit's bank details, and successfully recovered the stolen funds.
