Description

I casually liked a comment on X and they responded with a simple message. I never responded to the message and a few days later i received another message. I replied to their comment and I guess that opened the door more interaction. Keep in mind their profile had no mention of crypto and our conversation was never about crypto until a couple months of interacting. Once they inquired and realized that I my knowledge of any type of investing was zero to none they became more aggressive in nature. I was led to a website, xaut.erc-s.fun which was an ai arbitrage platform. Once you deposit your money, or pay for a smart contract everything appears on the screen making you think your money is really working for you. I was allowed to withdraw 10,000.00 which made me think it was legit. They even had a very responsive customer service that would offer assistance at anytime. A very organized and professional group of scammers. After that i was encouraged to obtain VIP status($200000.00) which came with many perks such as unlimited withdrawals, special rewards and the ability to terminate trades without being penalized. After becoming VIP I attempted a big withdrawal and was told I had to pay taxes on my profit up to that point. They locked my money until the taxes were paid. They were always coming up some kind of reason to deny your money. Finally when i was able to make a withdraw I tried to withdraw 170000.00 and they air dropped fake coins to my wallet with a malicious coded contract that was worth absolutely nothing. At that point i realized I had been scammed. The fraudulent transactions did involve my coinbase wallet, and it seems like coinbase could freeze the assets because every transaction is visible and can be tracked. They can see it as well as I can that the transaction is fraudulent and being it come through their exchange, they should help get the funds back. They have no interest in helping but have all the power to stop it. Makes no sense to me. Why would they let the scams continue?
