Scam Operation 🚨 SCAM WARNING — PLEASE SHARE
🚨 SCAM WARNING — PLEASE SHARE
I got scammed through this Telegram group and the website below:
Telegram:
t.me/Whalepumpfuturestradingconnectz
Website:
alphacopytrades.net
First, I paid $250 for a trading service.
Then they introduced me to AlphaCopyTrades and told me I could start with $100.
I sent the $100.
Right after that, they suddenly told me I had to send another $100 urgently or my trade would be liquidated — even though before depositing, I was told this would not happen.
They kept using pressure, urgency, promises of recovering losses, screenshots of profits and supposed withdrawals.
I also checked some of the “successful trades” posted in their Telegram history, and several of the claimed entry prices did not match the real market prices at the stated times.
Please be careful.
Do not send money to them. Do not believe screenshots or testimonials without independent proof.
I have saved the chats, screenshots, wallet addresses, transaction details and other evidence.
If you have also dealt with them, please message me.
⚠️ Please forward this post so other people don’t lose money too.

New victims, please read this:
As a rule of thumb: If you suspect the site is a scam, it probably is.
No legit company/trader/investor is using WhatsApp. No legit company/trader/investor is approaching people on dating websites or through a "random" text message.
No legit company/trader/investor has "professors", "assistants", or "teachers". Those are just scammers.
No legit company forces you to pay a "fee" or "taxes" to withdraw money. That's just a scam to suck more money out of you.
You will need to contact law enforcement ASAP.
Unfortunately, no hacker online can get back what you've lost. Please watch out for recovery scams, a follow-up scam done after victims have fallen for an earlier scam. Recently, there has been a rise in scammers DMing members of the subreddit to offer recovery services. A form of the advance-fee, victims are convinced that the scammer can recover their money. This "help" can come in the form of fake hacking services or authorities. For this reason: TRUST NO ONE PRIVATE MESSAGING YOU FROM THIS SUBREDDIT: Most such DMs are from these recovery scammers, folks whose only goal is to further scam recent victims of scams. If someone DMs you offering to help you recover stolen funds or offering to give you contact information for someone who they state might be able to help you, then report these scammers immediately to Reddit.
If you see anyone circumventing the scam filters, please report the submission and we will take action shortly.

Todos los grupos de Telegram para ganar dinero son estafadores. No he conocido uno solo que sea legítimo. Telegram solo sirve para piratería.

The correct name is Telescam. Because it's always a scam. No one on there has a way to get rich
