Important Notice (PSA): Beware of scammers on Tinder and other dating apps
I want to warn you all that scammers are active on Tinder.
There are profiles with pictures of Asian women that seem to be between the ages of 20 and 30. These women, after a few initial conversations, give you a WhatsApp number to talk (often a UK phone number).
After a few days of chatting, they talk about a "new investment opportunity." They mention a new crypto coin called: "Huawei 5G Joint Bluesky Biomedical Defence" or simply "HWS."
If you do not show immediate interest, they keep insisting a little more each time.
They take you to Binance.com (which is a legitimate crypto exchange) to buy $5000 worth of Bitcoin, which earns you a "Beta Membership." Then they transfer the BTC to a fake website called hwsex.org and convert it into HWS tokens there.
When you ask how you can convert back to Bitcoin, they say you need to invest 2 more Bitcoins first to get "Full Membership," after which you can withdraw the money — which is a scam.
If you're wondering if I fell victim to this myself? Yes, unfortunately, I lost 0.5 BTC (did not invest 2 BTC, fortunately).
Please everyone be cautious.
