Details of the scam:
First started on by getting matched on Hinge, conversation was as normal and then it transitioned to investments and crypto. Perpetrator explained how she made money from trading using a different method by looking at the 'node' instead of indicators or price action. After some convincing from the perpetrator I downloaded the App and made an account. First initial trading was only done with 300 USDT which was successful and withdrawal to my wallet was also successful.
Second trade was done with 10000 USDT and was convinced to participate into the 'Reward Event' which required to deposit 20000 USDT total to receive a bonus (which was added to the account). After receiving the bonus I tried to withdraw the money but required the need to complete transaction volume until withdraw could be approved. I didn't think much of it and completed the transaction volume but after that they gave me another excuse of requiring the send the money to third party and needed a fee to withdraw. I had a thought it was a scam but got convinced by perpetrator that it wasn't. After paying the fees they gave me another excuse and it finally kicked in it was a scam and just stopped communication with them and removed everything.
Hopefully no one else got caught in this scam and hope this helps others. The website seems like its been removed but the whatsapp numbers seems to still be active and also I think this perpetrator is still operating on Hinge in Australia as I saw her with anther Hinge account with similar photos under a different name 'Mary'. I reported that account but I'll keep an eye on it.
They also seem to operate during the times of 4pm AEST to 12am AEST.
Location does seem to be in Australia Sydney
