We are issuing an important warning regarding a recent cryptocurrency scam involving the fake website forexdesktrade.com. The scam started when an individual, posing as Professor Tonya Evans, reached out through TikTok, appearing to offer a promising investment opportunity. The initial approach involved a plan to start with minimal capital and evaluate the returns. However, once involved, forexdesktrade.com introduced a supposed promotion promising higher returns if additional cryptocurrency was invested. Unfortunately, many were drawn in by these enticing promises, and from that point, the scheme escalated.

The scam progressed as the fraudulent platform showed that the account balance was supposedly growing rapidly. However, to convert these so-called profits from Bitcoin to USD, they required various fees, which had to be paid in Bitcoin. These fees were repeatedly requested, each time under a different guise, such as transfer charges or conversion fees. Victims were led to believe that each payment was a necessary step to release their accumulated profits. The fraudulent nature of this platform became even more apparent when, after approximately ten rounds of payments, the scammers demanded an additional $1,200 as a transfer fee. At that point, the realization dawned that all these requests were just tactics to siphon money without any intention of payout.

The receiving address used in this scam is “1hhjBFhZognYTwWqvEfyG3SaHSA8L8RZY“. If you have encountered this address or interacted with the website forexdesktrade.com, you should immediately cease all communication and report it to the relevant authorities. The scam followed a classic pattern—enticing individuals with false promises of high returns, manipulating emotions, and consistently demanding additional payments under the pretense of fees or other costs.

We advise you to be extremely cautious when approached through social media for investment opportunities, particularly when they promise unrealistic returns. Cryptocurrency investments are inherently risky, and fraudsters often exploit this space due to the anonymous and irreversible nature of blockchain transactions. Given the escalation of demands, constant requests for fees, and the absence of any real returns, it is clear that forexdesktrade.com is a fraudulent platform designed to deceive investors and steal funds.

Please remember that legitimate investment opportunities will never require repeated fee payments to release funds. Always verify the authenticity of the platform and the individuals involved before investing your hard-earned money. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from scams like this one.
