Got scammed in binary option
I got a message from a reddit user AdDazzling6684 on 26th April saying that a person named 'Drew' helping people to make money in pocket option. She said that she is in contact with Drew since 2024. Drew tells her that OTC trades are manipulated. She told that Drew performs personal trading for her. She initially invested $1500 for personal trading and Drew returned profit of $4000 to her in 2 days. I fell for her trick. She shared his telegram id @DrewMc99. I contacted Drew on telegram. He told that OTC trades ars manipulated and asked me delete all pocket option accounts created using links of some pocket option brokers. So, I do so. I then created a new pocket option account. He then told me that he sends paid signals and initially he will take $100 for joining his pocket option signals community and $50 from next months onwards. Initially, I attended his trading sessions and while the session was going on he started sending voice messages saying that use demo mode first. But, I didn't get any profit, neither in demo mode nor with real money. I asked him to do personal trading for me. He told that you should have atleast $350 to do personal trading. He then told that you need to send $250 more to start personal trading. So, I sent him USDT using binance to his wallet. He told me to write him after 2 days. After 2 days, I asked him to send me the profit. He told that your profit of $2350 is ready and asked me to send my binance wallet address. I sent him. He then asked for 15% commission of profit, which is $300. I told him to deduct $300 from $2350 and send the remaining amount to my wallet. But, he denied it and said that he takes his commission from the client first before sending profit. I sent him $300 more to his wallet. As soon as he gets the amount, he immediately deleted all the voice and text messages from telegram chat and blocked me on telegram. I lost a total of $650 (~ ₹63000) in this scam.😭
