Hello ,
First of all I would like to thank everyone who is posting and reporting these scammers. These forums helped me dodge a HUGE bullet. I am from Eastern Europe and I was contacted by a "cute Taiwanese girl" via facebook , as you can guess, she is smart and good looking, has beauty salon, doing foreign exchange and an uncle with inside information.
Long story short 1-2 weeks of everyday chatting and love bombing, ideas of meeting after pandemic etc. "she" brings up the idea of teaching me forex trading on a demo account, at this point I am already suspicious, but its a virtual account right? I had a go, I made 20k USD on my demo account. After couple of days, she brings about making real account and make a deposit since her uncle will have inside information soon. I made an account on this website possible fake https://client.furionglobal.com/mobile#/account/menuI but DID NOT make any deposit. She was kinda pushy bringing the topic couple of times that day. That was enough for me to dig further.
I stumbled upon these forums and other websites. I blocked and reported the number. Next morning her "sister"(I assume the broker) messaged me why I blocked her. I reported and blocked her as well.
I was shocked, I am usually not a naive person but these crooks are playing it really well and can get the best of even open-minded people. The most patient scammers I have ever encountered. I will post a photo of their phone numbers and other evidences and will also report to hong kong police and the other links you guys suggest, so more people can get aware.
The biggest mistake I did was sending a copy of my International ID card while creating the account, even though I deleted the account on MetaTrade 5. Can they use my ID information and what I can do about it?
Thanks again !
