Vulnerable post
For those who know me please understand that this has been super hard for me to write, much less as I am still digesting and processing everything that has happened to me over the past week. As most of you all know I am a very hard worker and in fact spent my life working very hard for everything that I have had. I also give back abundantly to those around me and many non profits. I was recently scammed by a cryptocurrency scammer, my crypto “wallet app” was compromised by this scammer (fake wallet) and I lost 168k in capital and investments 82,000 was my initial investment some time ago, in the matter of an instant. I have been working with the IC3 a divison of the FBI, but unfortunately cryptocurrency scams are at an all time high and unfortunately less than a 5% recovery rate for lost monies. I am under contract and scheduled to close on a new house in 3 weeks in which I was withdrawing my money this past week for the down payment and closing cost along with renovation monies. Imagine trying to access your money to realize that it is all gone overnight. I am posting this story one so that everyone will be extremely aware of crypto scams and the severe risk that are associated with crypto and that its not like your regular banks that will insure your monies and investments, its highly volatile with many blockchains making it very complex. I am also posting this story to reach out to my friends and family in support of me having the funds to close on my home. I also want to put in a disclaimer that as you know I travel and I do have two trips paid for already with no possibility of a refund. One is in 2 weeks to DC for easter and to attend a dear friends memorial service for his mother, and the second is a vacation in about 2 months. I do not want to be the one asking for help and then you guys see me at a destination I want to be very transparent. I certainly am not that type of person. I am reaching out and being completely vulnerable with you all in hopes that if you are able to help I would greatly appreciate it, if you are not I completely understand. Please refrain from harsh remarks or beating me up, believe me, I have beat myself up a lot already and I am not in the headspace to take on more.
