đ Crypto Love: When Romance Turns into Fraud đ¨
On December 10th, a large-scale operation took place in Nigeria against the largest crypto romance scam đ. 792 people were arrested â among them 148 Chinese, 40 Filipinos, and locals.
đ How did the scheme work?
The scammers created the illusion of trusting relationships with victims from the USA, Canada, and Mexico đşđ¸đ¨đŚđ˛đ˝ through fake investments. They used:
Social Networks đ˛
Phishing đŞ
Emotional Manipulation đŹ
đ Victims were promised "golden mountains" đ°, but ended up with empty wallets. Lagos became the epicenter of this social engineering, where stories and connections were fabricated to extort money.
â ď¸ Conclusion? Do not trust dubious "investors", even if their stories touch your soul. Love in crypto should be for the technologies, not for fake promises.
Stay vigilant! Scammers have no borders đ
What do you think about such a "crypto-romantic" twist? Have you seen similar schemes? đ
