Scammer Alias: Olivia Shen (posed as ex-Salesforce VP on LinkedIn)
Reported Wallet: 0xf88969c14f7616dcc5c17562c9734ad48d62f058
Total Loss: Over $600,000 USD
Status: Funds blocked, repeated deposit demands

Description:
The victim met “Olivia Shen” on LinkedIn, who claimed to be a former VP at Salesforce working in AI. She introduced the victim to a platform named BTCH and guided him to perform trades promising 20% returns every 30 seconds. Initially, the victim was allowed to withdraw small amounts to build trust.

Encouraged to deposit larger sums, the victim invested over $1.5 million USD via Coinbase, with profits shown growing to $1.59 million USDT. When the victim attempted to withdraw $1.39 million, BTCH blocked the transaction, demanding a 20% tax fee. After paying $207,000, the withdrawal was again denied under the pretext of “risk control” and “money laundering.”

BTCH then asked for personal ID verification and proposed an additional 25% risk margin ($399,012.51 USDT) to unfreeze the account, while falsely claiming that the platform “cannot deduct funds” from the balance. The user rightfully grew suspicious and refused to send further payments.
