A new romance-baiting scam has been targeting Californians through a WhatsApp investment group called DAF Finance Institute. The scammers lured victims by promoting an alleged crypto trading product called “AI Profit Algorithms 4.0”, supposedly available through platforms OPACOIN, OPNCOIN, or OPN-GO.
How the Scam Worked:
🔹 Members were given a $500 trial investment on OPACOIN and could withdraw it successfully.
🔹 After gaining trust, they were pressured to invest $5,000, but withdrawals were denied.
🔹 Some victims invested $22,000 to $50,000, with promises of guaranteed profits.
🔹 One victim signed a $50,000 contract guaranteeing a 300% return, only to lose everything.
🔹 The scammers even offered loans to victims who couldn’t afford higher investments, trapping them in debt.
🔹 Victims were later asked to pay additional “fees” (such as a 10% tax fee) before withdrawing, only to be ghosted by the scammers.
🔹 The scam escalated to $150,000 investments, with fake ICO promises and more withdrawal barriers.Now, the website is down, and victims have lost significant amounts of money.
