Met the scammer on LinkedIn. We have few text exchanges and I trust in the individual because I trusted LinkedIn for its profile and content. The individual got me into chatline on WhatsApp under this phone +1 (985) 287-4880. We then discussed investment opportunity in cryptocurrency. The individual then showed me to download the investment PBEX platform. The individual then help me navigate thru the trading process on PBEX. I started transferring small money less than $1k into the account. We traded together. The result seems to be promising where we make profit together. Two weeks went by, the individual willing to loan me $100k and transfer it into my account so that it help them in their planning to reduce trading risk (I was told by the individual). With all the gain we made in the trades and the amount of money the individual invested in the account, I trust the individual more and more. Also because I was able to withdraw a small amount of money (<$2k) back into my bank account. The individual then asked me to increase my investment to spread out the risk. Also help them prevent better planning during the fluctuation of the crypto’s prices. So to make a long story short, I gained more trust in the individual and increased my funding into the account. I shared my story to a family member and he did a research to the trading platform and suspicion that this might be a scam. That information click into my head and decided to withdrew the money from the trading platform. I waited for long time and the fund did not show up on my wallet as my first. I went back and checked the history of my transactions and found that my wallet address was incorrect. It got alter the last digit. In short, the PBEX trading platform that the individual help me installed on my phone was fake. All transactions gained and the activities during the trade were all fake. The family member look further into all the activities on my account and it showed that as soon as I deposit the crypto into the PBEX account someone transferred it into another. All the activity and gained on my account were all fakes. Pls share my story to the rest of the world. Let me be the last person to lose my hard earned and life savings money. See the upload file from PBEX trading platform.
