how to get his wallet address?
ok here's my story.
this person contacted me on IG and started talking to me. Then he ask me for what's app. It is very similar to what you all have described. He says he's from Hunan and works in Xiamen. He has a winery in France, and parents live in America. He's Singapore citizen though, but grow up in China. Then he told me some sad story about how his wife pass away and he was depressed.
then he started with casual chit chat asking my hobbies. One of it he mentioned is cryptocurrencies. And how much he earn etc. After a few days he says there's good opportunity, and ask if I'm interested to learn.
That's when he sent me the link, which is an APK to download the bitmex App. Then we went through the account setup, which he keep asking me to send him screenshot. Then 1st ask me to top up money and do a small transaction.
The buy/sell is always very quick. And he ensure he teaches me how to buy and then sell. And then he also thought me how to withdraw money for testing. Obviously, I was conned to bank in the 2nd time, cause he says i should get ETH, but the amount I have is not enough for ETH. So i did a top up of RM10K.
Then today itself, i ask if there's any trading node, he says there is, but for him. it's too little for me. Then he try to coax me to bank in more, to buy BTC. So i got a bit suspicious, why previously was ETH, today it became BTC. Then he say BTC is better, target 1-2 BTC is good enough. So i ask him how much is 1 BTC, he said 45K. Then it is 45K USD, not RM!!!. I told him that's too big an amount. He said he has some spare cash 20K USD, he can loan to me first. I asked him, he's not afraid I runaway? He say if I runaway with this money, it proofs that this kind of person is not wife material.
Then I ask him when he need the money, he said next week. So I told him I will need time to transfer the money cause I'm in HKG and I don't have ready money in KL. I also have to make some adjustments of money transfer because the amount is big. He says OK. This is when I start to get suspicious, and then started to google for more info. I even went to bitmex.com website and try login, and realized that they need 2FA authentication, which is different from the scam bitmexcln website. So I quickly contacted bitmex.com customer support, sent them some screenshot to verify if the app I installed is correct.
Next, I did a whois.net on the domain URL that he shared, and found out that it was only registered on 27 Jan 2022!!! Dang!!!
I've quietly went into the bitmex account and try to withdraw the 2000USD out, which was my principal. It now show Freeze, lets see if I can get the money out tomorrow. If I can't get it, I'll cook up some story to him and ask him to try help me get it.
Meanwhile, I'm still talking to this lovely scammer and I told him I'm taking a flight to Xiamen to look for him, and ask him for his address. I work for airline, so getting a ticket is not difficult. He suddenly freaked out and ask me why. I created some story la, say I miss him bla bla...so let's see what he reply tomorrow. I will keep you guys posted!!!
BTW: He uses a french phone number. He writes alot instead of asking for photos/videos. Very sweet talker.
If you have any suggestion that I can play along with him, welcome to the party
. Please suggest, and we can continue to play.

If you are from the US, you can claim this as a Ponzi theft/loss on your taxes.

Main thing when it comes to these kind of things..... is to do some due diligence, be they emails or even just links sent, allways check the source address...so the fake emails from whoever do not have the stock email address used by such platforms, for example support@yourexchange..... in this case the link to BitMex being spelt bitsmechs. The spelling is usually the first giveaway anyway. Same when it comes to profiles, iv had all the crypto youtubers reach out to me on Instagram twitter and offer to trade my accounts, or that I should meet so and so link to another fake page, scammer etc etc. As said. DO NOT DEPOSIT ANYTHING. And if your really that curious to look around the platform.... sign up using a disposable email and do not give personal details. Once scammets have your address you'll receive threatening emails soon enough.maune not from them but from whomever they sell your details to. I had my details leaked through the ledger hack and the emails Iv received since because I hold crypto... hilarious to me....potentially terrifying to others.
Me too I totally understand how you frel coz it is how i feel and i even feel stupid and keep on blame myself still. It might take some time for me to get back
When they freeze it, they will ask you to put more money in there. U can try to borrow some money from him.how to get his wallet address?

That’s the way they scammed us with the sweet talker.
He even want to scammed me one more time u know… introduce me to a new trading platform.
Oh my god these people really unbelievable
Be very careful when working with hackers, if they can hack others they can do harm to you too. Look for trusted platforms before asking random people for help, as nobody will be working for free in this world. Be safe!

I'm in the process of getting my money back. After I reported to the bank this morning. I cancel my request to ZERO the bitmex account. I waited for them to reinstate the account to normal.
Then upon reading some comments on this forum, I figure out that I'll try withdraw only 30% of the total amount in the account, and try my luck. Just a while ago, the money was transferred into my account.
So if you are lucky like me, and the scammer hasn't detected yet, try to withdraw it bit by bit and see if it works.
I will continue talking to the scammer to keep him in tab, before I launch my next step, to take all the money.
Wish everyone luck.
