Crypto swiped after a 'job interview' for 360 Capital Group, is it gone forever?
Okay, so I'm honestly so embarrassed. I was looking for remote work, and found an ad for a project manager position. Seemed legit. They scheduled an 'interview' via Microsoft Teams chat – no video, just typing. They were asking standard stuff, then started talking about 'account setup' and needed me to link my crypto wallet for salary deposits and 'project onboarding incentives.' Said it was a standard procedure for their international contractors. I used a separate wallet with some holdings, thinking it was safer. Long story short, minutes after I 'linked' it, everything was gone. Around low five-figures, about 45k AUD. They were impersonating a real estate company called 360 Capital Group. I reported it to the local police here in Gold Coast, but they just kinda shrugged. Has anyone dealt with this 'job interview' crypto scam before? Is there any actual way to trace these funds or am I just out of luck?
