Thank you for sharing your experience, Grant. Your account highlights a troubling pattern often seen in crypto scam cases, especially when platforms promise quick gains or use social engineering tactics to lure victims into making deposits.

The behavior you’ve described — where customer service stops responding, and funds are frozen pending nonexistent fees — is a significant red flag. It also emphasizes how scammers manipulate trust, even using legitimate platforms, like dating websites, to establish connections and credibility.

For others reading this, it’s crucial to remain cautious when asked to invest or deposit money under similar circumstances, especially if there is a sudden request for large sums or claims of frozen withdrawals.
