WeChat Investment Fraud — Hong Kong “Jewelry Designer” Tricked Me Into a 26,000 USDT Scam
Between March 18, 2025, and September 15, 2025, I communicated via WeChat with a person named M for about six months. This individual claimed to be a jewelry designer from Hong Kong and convinced me that I could earn income through liquidity mining, giving me investment advice. Based on those recommendations, I transferred funds from my Paribu account to my SafePal Wallet and invested a total of 26,645.72 USDT in Tron (TRX) liquidity mining on the platform https://amarX.Top/index_en.html?token=TMLTBvz4X9T5uNgVYUuK7n4sor7b8FsAZ9.
The platform promised a daily 1.5% return, but when I attempted to withdraw my funds, I received a message stating:
“TGB4wQfkNVvbreErSqmQEGsBYBXzAUzCxk — this is the Tron mainnet address designated by the tax authorities. After you pay your profit tax, please send me a screenshot, and I will forward it to the tax office.”
Shortly afterward, I also received a message from the customer service number 085264761*. At that point, I realized I had been scammed.
I reported the incident both through WeChat and the platform’s complaint system. I still have the transaction records from my Paribu account. I am requesting a full refund of my funds and that action be taken to prevent this individual from defrauding others in the future. I urge the authorities to take immediate measures to stop similar scams from happening again.
