Description
i got involved to the crypto trading by the person name Jerry Sun. First he connect with me from Linkedln. He told me he is the director at Lam Research in Fremont, California. After few weeks we communicated in Linkedln. He asked me to communicate from Whatsapp since easy for him to chat. After few months he told me beside his 9-5 job most of his time is spending to earn profit from the miming pool trading. He told me usually he won’t teach anyone but he will make accept me as his student and will help me to earn profit for me to retire early. Jerry asked me to down load Lhxex platform for my trading, trust wallet, base wallet and coin base. At the beginning I just put few thousand dollars to test drive. When I won the Lhxex platform allow me to withdrew my fund back to my bank. Then I increase more fund to my Lhxex platform. Then I told Jerry I have my 401k from my previous job. He asked me to borrow my 401k out since he said within 60 days. He can help me gain more profit then I can withdrew my money and paid back to my 401k. He keep push and convince me to borrow my $222,000.00 from my 401k and promise me he will help me gain my profit double from my principle. After 2-4 times trading from the Lhxex platform with my pricinples and profit I had total $982,000.00 When i want to withdrew my fund the Lhxex asked me to paid the fee $148,000.00 since my profit more than 100% of my principles then i paid them the fee. After that they asked me paid the second fee $147,000.00 KYC and certificate. I asked Jerry why you did not told me all the fee before you guide me to trade. Jerry told me it was normal process and I need to paid for them. If i don’t pay my Lhxex will be block. Jerry guide me to applied for all the personal loans so i can have fund to paid for two time fee. After that my Lhxex account was unblock and the platform asked me down load the base wallet so they can convert my fund to USDT and send to my base wallet address. Jerry guide me how to transfer my fund from the Lhxex platform to my base wallet. i saw my fund transfer under Tether USDT. After that Jerry help me to transfer my fund from the base wallet to the coin base. Until now my fund never arrived to my coin base account. i worked with coin base customer service they told me i send my fund under SOL network. Which coin base is not accept it now. However, Jerry keeps telling me I used the wrong address when i send my fund. Then he gave me the whatsapp phone number which they call the Solona block chain customer service and asked me to contact them. When i contact them they told me when I send my fund to coinbase I have extra space in the address and asked me to paid 20% fee for them to fix the problem. Then Jerry also told me now my fund stuck in the solona block chain and I have only 40 days to paid my fee after 40 days my fund will disappear. At this point i realized I got scammed from Jerry and the Lhxex platform. Since i asked everyone told me the token i have was fake and no platform asked me to pay the fee from my pocket. Does anyone heard or experience similar situation like me. also when i share my story so everyone can be aware of this. i also believe the scammer from China since he sometimes chat with me in Chinese language. and he used the yuan instead of dollar.
