GAFA Anti-Fraud Alliance volunteers help recover
The first time the scammer contacted me was in response to an Instagram post of mine I added him as a friend.
He said all the right things and shared photos of his large family and his impressive jet-set lifestyle.
He sent pictures of a mature man traveling in Paris and London, skiing in Norway, and drinking fine wine. There were selfies of him with his family, videos of his daughter playing the piano, and even a video of him skydiving. He said he was a 40-something Singaporean businessman.
I was completely smitten with him and thought I had found true love.
He was handsome and well-dressed, and he always ate good food, drank good wine, and traveled to nice places.
After months of late-night calls and online correspondence, the seduction was complete. After gaining my trust, the scammer casually introduced me to the MetaTrader 5 trading platform and convinced me to invest over $380,000 in cryptocurrency trading. When I had no money to invest, the scam was quickly revealed and the money disappeared.
The trading app offered by the scammer was a live website that looked real because it showed me making money trading in real time. The results I saw were imitations of legitimate MT5 websites.
His photo was also fake. His name was also fake. When I questioned him, he finally admitted that he was 20 years old, from Japan, and was running a scam organized by Taiwanese.
I fell for his trick. I realized that I was deceived, but it was too late. I had to pay a big tuition fee for a big lesson.
I spent more than a month in a daze. My friend learned about my experience. She was a member of GAFA. With her recommendation, I recovered $220,000 with the help of GAFA volunteers. Although I didn’t get all of it back, it was a huge help to me. I solved all my debts.
