I was tried with this scam. But they tried and failed. I wanna tell you my story because the scam was quite elaborate. Maybe this will help someone....
This person with asian profile in Tinder matched with me. Pics looked like real person not filtered. Quite classy, not ultra cute. She was few kilometres away from my location.
We chatted few days and she asked if Whatsapp was ok for me. We went there and continued. She told me his dad was owner of a financial data analyst company in HK. And had a reputed background in FI sector. She had been learning few years of Forex trading from him. She told nift background stories of herself and was acting like falling in love and wanting the future with me etc.
Now to the scam details...
She asked me to install Metatrader 5 so that I could learn Forex trading. She asked me for very detailed step by step screenshots in going through the registration prosess. The broker was to be this Yong Ying. Then she taught me how to make trades there. Few days after she told there was a market signal and asked me to follow her. First I was to add crypto from the quotas in MT5. Then to buy (in demo mode luckily) that asset. I did. Then the price started to soar up. After 25min she told me to sell the asset and close the trade. It would be a good trade, if it would be according to the REAL MARKET DATA.
She then started to pressure me to establish crypto wallet and put money, 500-2000$ there. Not too much at the first time because she didn't want me to lose anything if trades went to south.
I LUCKILY told her I gotta think this for a while.
Next day I compared the price of this crypto asset in REAL MARKET DATA to YONG YING DATA. And also I picked random MT5 brokers data to comparison to be sure. The Yong Ying data WAS MISSMATCHED FOR THAT EVENING. The comparison data matched with the asset's market data (of course).
Conclusion: the broker I was making a trade was falsified it's trading data to LURE ME.
She never admitted that she was scamming me. I luckily know basic things in asset trading markets. Price of an asset is always same in regulated brokers using regulated market. When told her about my data comparisions, she explained me the brokers are all different. Well yes, but if the broker falsifies market data then the broker is not working in real market and is in no way to be trusted. Why? Well, because it does not trade in REAL market and can not be hold responsible of market moves which are not happening in real market.
She said me really quick after I put screenshots from market graphs: hey there is a trend signal, father just called. I told her, Im in if I can pick a broker of my choice to ensure we were operating in a real asset market. For that she replied: if you don't wanna learn, ask someone else to teach. WT actual F?
Well this whole event was very helpful. I learned much about exiting new scamming practices, asian dating culture from her and YouTube I decided to look info from, English, being generally polite (not my strong suite) and mental fortitude. Lost few hours time in about week and had a slight one hour emotional down.
So to say: I ended up on winning side.
Most sincerely hope, you will too!!!
