Thanks for sharing your experience, George. This pattern is unfortunately common in romance scams—fraudsters build trust through fake relationships and manipulate victims into fraudulent investments. The small withdrawals to build credibility are a classic tactic before they disappear with the larger sums.

If you or anyone else has additional details—such as more associated wallet addresses or communication screenshots—it would help strengthen the case against them. Victims should report their losses to law enforcement and blockchain tracking services to increase the chances of action being taken. Stay cautious and always verify before investing!
