#CryptoScamSurge I’m sharing this story not for sympathy, but to raise awareness. Crypto scams are growing rapidly, and I never thought I’d fall into one until I did. This isn’t a made-up tale or someone else’s tragedy. This is my experience, and I hope it protects at least one person out there.

I was hungry for quick profits. I joined a Telegram group that claimed to offer high daily trading returns. My gut felt unsure, but emotions took over logic. They made it sound so convincing.

First, I sent $2,000 USDT, they claimed that was to “activate” my account. After that, they said my crypto grew 3000%, and I had to send $6,000 more to a bot wallet to withdraw profits. My brain screamed no, but greed and fear of missing out (FOMO) pushed me forward.
