Except I'm not sending her any more money.

Thank you, Greg. For what it's worth her uncle has what appears to be a legitimate profile on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhi-wen-chen-23339a7b/ It was created over 12 years ago. Maybe these people aren't scammers. I do however think the fake Cointree site they used to "invest" is...

I would never send naked pictures to anybody. In fact I never took naked pictures of myself and never will. I don't use Meta at all anyway. For what it's worth "Xinyue" is still chatting with me and is attempting to help me. She's trying to borrow the money from her friends to unlock my...

Right now with what's going one cryptocurrency is looking better and better. Buy bitcoin or ethereum if you have any spare cash. Or even gold. I think gold will skyrocket soon past it's already lofty current price. The markets are tanking today, which seems to happen every single time Trump...

Not to mention the hiring pool for ICE was mostly pardoned January 6 protesters.

Besides that given the makeup of these places (i.e. heavily left leaning) that would keep the GOP out of power pretty much permanently. Venezuela would have more electoral votes than any other state except California. Canada would have about the same number.

Same reason it was an uphill battle to get the speed cameras in NYC to operate 24/7/365-drivers bitch about them and call them money grabs. This is despite the fact NYC's speed cameras have a very generous 10 mph cushion over the 25 mph speed limit before you get a fine. Stay under 35 mph and...

Trump tried and failed to make Canada the 51st state, so I guess he's settling for Venezuela instead.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Doug. She seemed like a real sweetheart and a wonderful companion. Take it one day at a time. Having been through this more times than I care to admit, at best you learn to live with the loss but you never really get over it. She gave you one last day of joyful...

Haven't you been a more or less normal weight for a long time? It sounds like they're thinking of the old you.

It's still over 1/3 of what I had. And the only reason I even had that much was because of my gig at Exxon for over 3 years. I pretty much invested most of what I had left after taxes. I can recover but it's going to be very difficult. I'm still trying to get my money back.

I'm glad your wife avoided being scammed. As for me, I was never 100% sure this wasn't a scam, so I held back to avoid losing my life savings. Granted, $260K is a lot to lose but I'm still in fairly good shape financially.

Exactly. I was just reading about a scam operation where they seized billions of dollars in bitcoin and over 100,000 people were scammed in a matter of months. Some lost their life savings and even their homes. I suspect what happened to me might be linked to that. On another note can you...

Yes it is. I'm still trying to recover my money. I have something else in the works now but I can't discuss it publicly. I will let everyone know if it works or not.

These people are obviously criminals. There's no doubt in my mind at this point. I posted the entire exchange here so the evidence against them is in a secure location.
