Amount Lost: $41,000 USD (purchased in Ethereum via Bitcoin ATM)Description:
The victim purchased $41,000 worth of Ethereum from a Bitcoin ATM and transferred it to digitalmarkettrades.com, a platform that falsely presents itself as a cryptocurrency investment firm. The site showed increasing profits to build trust. When the victim attempted to withdraw funds, they were redirected to create an account with a fraudulent service posing as Swift Trust Bank.Upon trying to withdraw from Swift Trust Bank, the user was told they must pay for a special code to complete the transaction. Despite making payments, the promised code was never delivered, and no funds were released. This is a typical advance-fee scam, where platforms invent fake procedural requirements to extract more money from victims while never returning the original investment.
