I too have fallen for this scam. The whole process with the Chinese girl, etc. is exactly the way it went down for me. I got baited early and was approached and had time to start getting sucked in even before the site went up. Unfortunately I ended up letting myself believe the obvious lies and deliberately ignoring the inconsistencies because I guess I was desperate for attention and excitement. Honestly in terms of watching out for scams, I was only ever expecting the too obvious African variety, or direct requests for money transfers. Never expected something more subtle and insidious.

Unfortunately I've ended up paying quite a high price for all of this, as I ended up "investing" a fairly large sum. Fortunately I found this forum last week and upon reading the Chinese girl experience, I immediately snapped out of it and was saved from throwing away even more money. I was able to take away about 600 USDT, but now they've completely blocked my transfer attempts. It's too damn bad it's all fiction because my total value of DFC is quite high haha. I'd give all my DFC to get at least half my principal back. Such an expensive mistake, but one I will never make again. I've tried looking for all kinds of authorities I can report this too, but probably not too many that can make any kind of difference. I sent a report at least to IC3 of the FBI, but of course do not expect much justice, as this is one of thousands of scams and I'm sure well masked. Was hoping an investigation could yield something, as they have not disappeared yet. We can only hope that one day some or all of these thieves will get bit in the ass.

Anyway, thanks for posting this thread and hoping others will find it before it's too late.

PS. I'd be curious to know what names the Chinese "Girl" went by for others who were duped.
