I responded to the Webtrader Pro Gemini ad on Facebook. Paid €250. I was sent a Metadrader link so downloaded the app. I could see my balance. Weeks later it was followed up with someone claiming to be the assistant to a trader from Blackrock investment who would be my financial manager who was supposed to talk to through how to use the AI bots on the app. I had been led to believe that AI bots would be making tiny trades each day and that the maximum proft would be about 2%. For about 2 weeks I corresponded with the Financial Advisor, Ryan Christopher Adam and the story shifted from it being AI trading to manual trading by himself and his colleagues. By 3rd July I had deposited about €3000 in total and made about 20% in profits the next day. Sadly on the 3th of July, so excited by the profits made, I made another €5000 deposit. I think I made another €5000 deposit on the the 5th aswell. At some point before that I made a withdrawel of $1500. On the 10th July, I made a profit of $1500 on a single trade but I became completly suspicious of that as it was way too high. I did my math, sent him a spreadsheet to show Ryan what 10% daily compount interest looks likes. I realised by the 10th July that I had definitly been scammed of about €11,500. For the remainder of the month I pretended I didn't realised I had been scammed so pretended I planned to deposit a further €40k to retrieve what I thought at the time was a $16k deposit. I don't know if 'bitcoin tumbler' scam type but it was certainly pig butchering as I had succesfully made a $1500 usdt, withdrawel from his 'system' to my binance wallet and then exchanged the USDT to euros via revolut for it to appear on my personal revolut account. I reported all of this to Blackrock Investment, Local Gardai, Binance and Revolut. The only non responders were my local law enforcment. Most of the communication between myself and Ryan was via whatsApp, the majority by calls rather than messages. I was getting suspicious from the daily calls. It was excessive and time consuming.
