Weeks of chatting, then the 'safe' crypto tip
A wrong number on WhatsApp turns into a friendship or romance. After weeks comes the tip about a 'family platform' for USDT. The app looks real; the money is gone from the first deposit.
Warning signs
- Contact started with a 'wrong number'
- Never a live video call
- Platform only reachable via a link or app file
- Pressure to deposit more quickly
What to do
Cut contact, save the chat and wallet addresses, file a report and flag the addresses on Chainabuse.
