Real Cases, Real Losses

[lingriiddd]

Examples from the past year:

Florida, 65-69: Lost $225K sending XRP to a fake QR code during a “SpaceX event.”

Washington, 70-79: Believed she was in a relationship with Musk; lost $65K for dental surgery funds.

California, 40-49: Fake AI video promised crypto doubling; lost $47K via Coinbase.

Red flags:

Pressure to act fast or send more crypto

Multi-platform contact (Facebook → WhatsApp → Telegram)

“Celebrity endorsements” or too-good-to-be-true offers

If you’re ever unsure, contact official channels directly and report suspicious activity to the FTC.

If you’re ever unsure

Just don't do it. Never trust DM's. Never trust ads with comments turned off. Never act fast. Think.
