Recent run in with Crypto scam.

Scam Operation

This one came out of someone in a stock trading group on Facebook through a dm. It quickly moved to What’s app, where I was given a link to their trading platform. I followed along the other day, as six traders posted their trades after the signal to close was given. It’s a futures trading platform, pretty much btc-usdt, etc.

The first thing that you need is to fund your trading account through Cash App in btc. Yes, they only accept btc, where once there, you have to exchange it for usdt. This raises some flags, and many more to follow. I took a screenshot of one trade, and asked ChatGPT to evaluate it. The answer-this is evil, fake balances, fees exceeding the take on the trade, etc. The site is pc.ftzcoin.com. I deposited just $100 usd, but by this morning, it fell to $53, or .0000-something btc, not enough to withdraw, and the withdrawal fee. $25 bucks. Caveat emptor.
