Description

I met a guy name Calvin Hill on TikTok on 4/11/2025 and he o!ered crypto trading coaching, I told him I wasn’t interested at that time. I didn’t commit because I needed to do my research on copy trading. I did some research on copy trading and found out copy trading was real and it gives me a chance to make more money. On May 13 2025 I contacted him back that I was interested in copy trading, I asked how much I have to pay him and he stated he would take 5percent of my profits. I was ok with it because he stated he would be able to make a lot of extra income. He ended up helping me set up an account on octa trade metro trading platform. On May 13 2025 @ 1:47 pm, I made my first transaction. I sent $80 worth of XRP from my robinhood account to Octa-trade metro.to Octa trade metro (rPpuL9DhBp6B5UxLfj6HnJUMBHCABmWdX9) to test and see if the money made it to the trading platform securely. Transaction went through so I sent the 2nd transaction @ may 13, 2025 @ 2:10pm from my robinhood account to the same trading platform for $4500 of XRP. I increased my daily limit and made my 3rd and final transaction from robinhood in the amount of $17,342.84. The next morning I noticed my octa trading account increased to $36,260.302 USD. This significant increase made me suspicious. Mr. Calvin hill were communicating through telegram messenger and he wanted me to increase my deposit into octa trade. That was concerning. I decided to withdraw my money out of Octa Trade Metro on May 14, 2025. I withdrew 14,100.67 XRP to be transferred back into my Robinhood account. Currently, the transaction shows as processing. Im guessing ill never see that money again. I cant sleep, im paranoid, angry, dissapointed in myself, and feel hopeless. I did more research on Calvin Hill, I’m not the only victim. Several people have been scammed by this name and account. He post a lot on TikTok and had multiple accounts I was unaware of. Im embarrassed and i dont want any info about my identity or my location posted publicly please dont share any personnel info about me or my location publicly. Thanks.
