Gents,
My friend just got taken for 1000.00 in a crypto scam.
He was contacted through Instagram by a friend he trusts...dude said he made 20k in crypto mining profits on 1000 investments in 8 hours by investing with a mining company. He sent screenshots of his account balance. My friend contacted the representative and texted with her...set up an account on a website and sent 1000 to a wallet.
He logged back in and the 1000 was 2700, on up to about 7000 overnight. That's when I was ready to get in
So this morning he goes to withdraw to coinbase and it didn't go through. Called coinbase which led him to figure out it was a scam. He called his friend and the guy was unaware. His Instagram was hacked and messages were sent to all his contacts.
