I fell for a scam | EXPOSING the online dating crypto investment “pig butchering” scheme

I did not get my money back, but I informed my local police (tried to contact HK police but couldn’t get a case made because I couldn’t prove the address of scammers), bank, and shakepay.

I never thought in a million years I’d fall victim to a scam, especially through online dating. But hey, shit happens and I’m trying my best not to blame myself or fall in a perpetual spiral of self-hate. I hope that in sharing this, it can help spread awareness and exposure so less people fall for it too (you might not fall for it, but a lot of people are).

Please be empathetic in the comments – anything rude or harsh you’re thinking of commenting has probably been weighing on my mind for the last two months already 😇

I’m finally starting to feel like I can move on, and it’s been tough navigating my mental health even before this happened. Excited to share more self care practices I’ve been trying that have helped my anxiety and depression a ton, cause they’ve been fuelled heavily with ammo from this situation for a while lol. Love ya lots and see you in the next video 💛
