I am a victim of a cyber scam and have transferred about $10,500.

The scammer instructed me to download the Kraken and DeFi wallet apps.

Subsequently, I was directed to transfer the funds to my Kraken account via Interac. Within the Kraken account, I was told to purchase Ethereum (ETH) coins. These were then withdrawn and transferred to the DeFi wallet.

Following this, I was instructed to use the browser within the DeFi wallet and paste the link cy-berage-eth.link.

All the ETH coins were sent to this link and were exchanged for USDT. The amount is currently there, but I am unable to transfer the funds.

  Hi
  Nishanth and Nageswar
  
  I feel so sorry that you both got scammed bad time but we also got some hard time dealing with you guys. Nishanth, didn’t we told you to take a loan earlier time, but why didn’t you take a loan and also at the time of withdrawal, didn’t we told you not to make a withdrawal. You didn’t listen to us. Nageswar, also same. Don’t think bad about the money that you lost, think about the mindset that you guys had. You guys were settled well in US and Canada, and had very beautiful wives, and happy living. What is the need for you to find lust in another woman online? This is a lesson for you. You wanted to leave your wife and wanted to marry Reva. Don’t cheat your lovely wife. Take care. Don’t think about the lost money. Take care. Stay healthy.

    CoinDex_17,
    
    Wtf you are talking, You are an absolute scum, why should we take a loan to withdraw my own money, why will you say not to withdraw money. you are the one who put a block for withdrawal and asking to deposit more money to remove the withdrawl block. You never said not to withdraw money liar.
    
    That scammer girl “Pallavi” Alias “Pallavi Anand”, Alias “Bhavanaraop_” .., was the one who invited us on facebook for this scam.
    
    You are such an asshole and you are talking about the mindset, my wife and I both were scammed by her. My wife also knows the scammer girl on WhatsApp. You are talking about lust?? go check with that scammer how did I treat her, I treated her like my daughter. I still have all the chat on my phone if you want to share here. I just kept the chat to share with local and international authorities as that may help them a bit.
    
    P.S: There is another girl also invited on facebook to attract the same Arbitrage scam using DEX scammer site: “cy-berage-eth.link” , She is also going by sevarl names on facebook with ‘Rhea Sharma’ alias ‘Sunita Singh’. Looks like there is big group on facebook /WhatsApp /Instagram is hunting people for doing Crypto scam . All these girls are connected and seem to know each other and sharing the contacts they found on social media. Beware of these girls on social media.
    
    Mywife and I both are giving an awareness on social media networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp groups) about these scams along with their photos to help prevent others from falling victims.
    
    Good, Atleast now we know for sure that Condex_17 is scammer.

  Hi
  
  I have been researching for this pig butchering scam since end of the March month. I filed complaint in the; local enfranchisement agency, Canadian anti fraud department and FBI as well. I filed complaint in the FBI IC3.
  
  I never invested in the crypto or any other risky investment, however this individual forced me to invest and showed me her wealth like car, billion dollar bungalows and lavish lifestyle. Due to my bad luck I started to invest after one month from contact to that individual. I also explain the entire story in the below paragraph.
  
  Sheety from the Facebook contacted me chatted with me. Initially I deny investing in the crypto as this is risky asset but after providing that this is AI based arbitrage and provide guarantee return so I decided to invest small amount. I got good daily return and I also redeem this entire amount and make sure that this amount comes in my bank account. After that I invested large amount and this website also give me the events having good bonus, so I did also invest in that events. Once I made large investment this website did not allow me to redeem money back in my account. They asked to pay huge GAS fee to redeem money in the account but deny to pay huge gas fee as I already invested over 400 K in this website through following my and my wife account.

    Hello Nishanth,
    
    Is there in progress/resolution on the compliant you filed in the local enfranchisement agency, or FBI IC3. I also filed this in local police department and FBI IC3 a few weeks ago, but no follow-ups or further progress from them yet.

    I would not fall under this scam and being another victim if I could have seen these posts a few months ago, but it was too late. Exactly Same thing happen to me as well. She claimed her name as Pallavi Anand from Vizag, Andhra Pradesh, India. She contacted me on Facebook and after couple days of chat she has shared her fake WhatsApp number, After few weeks she has slowly started talking about Crypto trading, AI Arbitrage and how she was making passive income, her vacations, bla. bla. . She even spent tremondous time to help me download and install Kraken Wallet, Crypro Defi Wallet, Coinbase then cy-berage-eth.link and made me deposit the money from my Bank Account > Kraken > Defi > Scam Account and helped me showing how to deposit and withdraw money back and forth with small amounts to made me feel this is very true and Legit . After that she has encouraged me to lend the quicken/ unsecured loans with high interest rates and made me deposit over 150K into that scam account and asked me to put that money in AI Arbitrage to earn the daily profits, so you can repay my loans in a month and half, I was happy to see the daily profits and the moment I attempted to withdraw 30K money from Scam Wallet (DEX Wallet) to Defi Walltet, that transfer was put on hold with wait status, its been wait status since from 30th June. I still see the the amount is there but not let me transfer and gives a message “Cash out failed. there is a Recharge order to be approved”. I have contacted Scammerand asked her to help me, then she told me to contact their customer service for support on Telegram User: CoinDex_17. After I contacted CoinDex_17 on Telegram , they are saying different things 1. I need to deposit more money from external bank account to pay the taxes 2. I need to deposit 26.5K to upgrade ERC20, After upgrade this money will be return back to my account then I will be able to withdraw all amount. I denied to pay as that sounds like a scam. I have been contacting Crypto Coinbase customer service , Kraken Service, but no use. There is no communication from her and not responding to my messages or calls on WhatsApp. Looks like she has gone and I can no longer communicate with her.
    
    I have not filed a case or complianed yet in Local police station, FBI. but I will surely do ASAP.
    
    When I did reverse search in google with pictures that she shared with me on my WhatsApp. Interestingly I found a Instagram Page with a different name with “Bhavanaraop_” with all same pictures she shared on my WhatsApp. I am still not 100% sure that if that Instgram page is really Scammer’s page or she might be picking the pictures randomly from other girls social media posts. But I still have a doubt that some of her pictures she shared with me on my WhatsApp are not even there in that Instagram page. So I am kind of thinking that might be scammer’s page.
    
    Like other folks mentioned in this thread , She helped me download and install Kraken Wallet, Defi wallet(crypto.com) and than open cy-berage.eth.link from the browser. Then I connect this link with defi.
    
    These Scammer girls have no Ethics, Morals, Emotions, and Humanity.,they do anything and everything for money and spent their luxurious life with these cheating money which they don’t deserve.
    
    Facebook: Pallavi Anand , and she has recently closed her FB page.

  Same thing happen to me as well. She ask d me to use Crypto app, Coinbase and defi and then cy-berage-eth.link. I checked with Coinbase and Crypto teams they don’t recognize this website. I see the amount is there but gives error while sending. Scammer told me the website is legit and they have their customer service in Telegram names as CoinDex_17. I first contacted CoinDex_17 in Telegram app, thought it was legitimate crypto service. now, I think they are also part of the scam. They don’t help in any way.
  
  I think the site is a scam and the person I met online was a scammer. They already took the money. But I am communicating with Crypto via emails and chat if there is something we can do from our side.
