My savings are gone after a fake 'liquidity mining' platform, anything I can do to get it back?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling absolutely sick to my stomach right now. I put almost all my savings, like low five figures, into what I thought was a legitimate liquidity mining platform. It was recommended by someone I met online, seemed super professional at first, had all these charts and promises of crazy APYs. I even got some small payouts initially, which made me trust it even more, you know? It was mainly USDT on the BSC network.
But then, last week, I tried to withdraw a larger sum, and suddenly my account was frozen. They asked for a 'tax payment' to unlock it, which I thought was super sketch, but I was so desperate to get my money back that I almost did it. Luckily, my brother talked me out of it. Now the website is just gone. Poof. Like it never existed. I tried looking up the company, and there's nothing. I'm in Nice, France, and this has just ruined me. Is there honestly anything, *anything* at all, that can be done? I've checked the transaction on BscScan, it just went to an address, and then to another, then another. It feels hopeless.
