Thank you so much for sharing this experience. I am a white male, 68 years old, received a Facebook friend request from Wendy, supposedly a wealthy 34-year-old business owner in Shanghai divorced with 1 child. She told me she wanted to move her Beauty College business to Des Moines, Iowa which is near where I live and asked if I could help her get settled in the US. We transferred over to WhatsApp for messaging, and for the next 45 days, morning and evening, she would message me with increasingly romantic messages, including calling me "her husband". She said her father was a foreign currency trader for the government managing hundreds of millions, and with his inside information, she could help me learn Forex trading. I downloaded Meta trader 5, did some practice trades, and following her screenshot instructions, made 4 profitable trades in real-time (supposedly). Ultimately I invested $320,000, and it grew to $595,000 in about 4 weeks (supposedly). I requested $30,000 withdrawal from Alica, the HK Selead customer service rep, and did get it via a USCD transfer to my Coinbase account. My 35-year-old daughter heard about my trading and informed me it was definitely a scam and sent me several e-mails describing the pig slaughter scam of Chinese origin. Just like you, I requested a large withdrawal, and Wendy admonished me to not take any money out until December. I requested 250k withdrawal on Friday, which was Hong Kong Sat., and was told it would have to wait until Monday. Monday morning (HK Time) I'm messaged by Wendy about an important trade, and like you, I had two computers open to verify that the Meta Trader 5 price chart was consistent with another broker price chart, and they were, which gave me the confidence to go ahead and do one more trade (the other 4 had been profitable). Like you, I was alert to stop the trade if it went red. Following Wendy's WhatsApp screen instructions, we began a sell trade on the US/JPY with 900 leverage, twice the leverage of the previous trade. I was alert to stop the trade if it went red. The first minute, blue numbers, meaning profits. The 2nd minute, it touched red for 1 second, and before I could stop the trade, static appeared, and the screen showed a loss of $741,600, leaving me a negative balance of -$184,660.
When I messaged Wendy what happened, she was very angry with me, because "I didn't follow her instructions and have more money in the account, so it was my fault I got stopped out". Wendy always trades with me simultaneously, and I asked her how she did. She indicated she had a large profit on the trade. This confirmed my daughter's suspicions--a definite coordinated scam with rigged software. And thank you so much for your posts, confirming beyond any shadow of a doubt that everything is rigged from the get-go. It's still beyond my comprehension that a person could be so evil that they would break someone's heart and life for money. However, I'm convinced now that the Facebook and WhatsApp pictures are all fake, and for all we know we're dealing with the Chinese mafia who forces young women and men to work as cyber prostitutes to scam people for every penny they can access. And, given the Facebook profile of your "Cigdem Kanbur Guney-Jessica" and given the WhatsApp profile of my "Wendy", and given the ability to rig software to demonstrate profitable trades at will, and steal the money at will, this Chinese mafia business model may be the most profitable crime syndicate in the history of time, unless the regulators are equally as savvy and can put this people in prison where they belong.
