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.
