My savings gone after 'liquidity mining' on a new DeFi platform (LQD Swap), any hope for recovery?
I'm gutted. I put pretty much all my savings, about 15,000 AUD, into this new 'DeFi liquidity mining' platform called LQD Swap. I found it through a group chat on Telegram, where people were posting screenshots of pretty insane returns, like 1-2% daily. I transferred USDT from my Kraken account to a new Metamask wallet, then connected it to LQD Swap and, well, did the 'mining thing'. It looked legit, had all the fancy charts and stuff. For a few days, the numbers went up, I even managed to withdraw a small test amount, which really hooked me. But then when I tried to pull out the main amount, about two days ago, it just kept failing. Now the website is gone, Telegram group deleted, and my wallet shows zero USDT. I feel so stupid. Is there *any* way to track these funds or get them back? I already reported it to Kraken, but they just said they can't do anything once it leaves their platform. What do I do?
My savings gone after a 'liquidity mining' investment - is this a new type of crypto scam?
Feeling absolutely sick right now. I met someone on Bumble, we got chatting, and after a few weeks, they started talking about 'liquidity mining' on some platform. They swore it was super safe, high returns, showed me screenshots of their own profits. I put in about 8k USD worth of USDT and ETH over a month and was even able to withdraw a small test amount ($200) early on, which made me trust it more, you know? But then when I tried to pull out my main funds, suddenly there were 'high tax fees' and 'regulatory checks' I needed to pay upfront. I paid another 1k, then another, total about 3k in these fees, and still nothing. Now they've stopped responding. The website is still up but I can't log in. Is 'liquidity mining' a common scam? Is there ANY hope of getting any of this back? My partner is furious.
