I invested with someone(moderator) of a group on Telegram called Worklite Uni Options, her name is Lora. I did some research and did not find anything bad. I did contact a lot of the members for reviews or if they had been paid and no bad reviews, everyone got paid per plan, thought surely not everyone lieing (10 people). It was a 21 day payout. My 21 days is up and now all of a sudden she wants a TVN (trade verification number or code) to verify my profits for her server to send my profits.
Telegram investment and you said you couldn't find anything bad? Is there anything worse than investing with someone on telegram? Absolutely none! Unless you are new to internet, everyone knows Telegram as a scam zone. From your narration, it's very obvious you have been scammed and an attempt to recover that funds might lead to more fund being lost. There's no investment in crypto other than HODL. It baffle me how people seek for cure when there's opportunity to prevent the incident. I assume you know this forum exists but you wait until you get scammed before coming to ask for help. You could have come here to ask before proceeding to invest if you truly did a throughly research.
It actually hurts when you fall victim to things like this and I hope it is not a huge amount. The good thing about this experience is that you can never repeat such mistake again unless you willingly want to. You lost some resources but experience is gain in return and also led you to where more knowledge about crypto is being discussed every day. There is virtually no platform that is completely scam free but such cases are rare here but don't send money to anyone for investment of any kind. However, you can seek advice for guidance on investment in case you want to venture into any kind.
