💔 Crypto Love: When Romance Turns into Fraud 🚨
On December 10th, a large-scale operation took place in Nigeria against the largest crypto romance scam 🎭. 792 people were arrested – among them 148 Chinese, 40 Filipinos, and locals.
📍 How did the scheme work?
The scammers created the illusion of trusting relationships with victims from the USA, Canada, and Mexico 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽 through fake investments. They used:
Social Networks 📲
Phishing 🪝
Emotional Manipulation 💬
🎭 Victims were promised "golden mountains" 💰, but ended up with empty wallets. Lagos became the epicenter of this social engineering, where stories and connections were fabricated to extort money.
⚠️ Conclusion? Do not trust dubious "investors", even if their stories touch your soul. Love in crypto should be for the technologies, not for fake promises.
Stay vigilant! Scammers have no borders 🌍
