Can I please request a moderator/admin who has the access to check if OP has logged into the forum at all since his last post? It's the least we can do as a community, please? It would be nice to know OP is well as NO amount of money is worth self-harm, life is worth living (poor or rich, or scammed).
For anyone else reading this it would be an eye opener, do some real due diligence and verification to ensure some form of legitimacy before trading or transferring large amounts of money with websites/platforms that are not globally well known.
Also, it would be foolish to think even reputable trading platforms/exchanges like binance/krakin/coinspot can be trusted, there is always a risk. Anyone remember Mt Gox "hack"?.... yep.
Even if they are legit, they can always have an inside job, or be compromised if there security is not strong, and there is NO SUCH THING as 100% security, not even the biggest world banks can promise they won't get hacked.
I believe this guy was using crypto as a form of currency to forex trade? if your getting into crypto and dealing with what you would consider large amounts of money to you, then for the love of god please educate yourself on cyber security, and safe crypto trading, and obviously get yourself a cold-storage personal cypto storage device to store your crypto.
Hope OP is OK and posts back, you can easily recover from this as others have said. Be stronger, be wiser, and work harder! life is precious. |
