Lost my crypto after signing up for 'Aloha Hawaii Tours & Travel' - has anyone recovered funds?
Hey everyone, feeling pretty numb right now. I saw this ad online for "Aloha Hawaii Tours & Travel" – supposedly amazing discounts on luxury trips if you invest in their crypto-backed rewards program. Sounded a bit too good to be true, but the website looked super legit, had testimonials, and they even had a live chat support that answered all my questions really quickly.
I ended up putting about 8,000 USD worth of Solana into their platform. They showed me my balance growing, and I even saw a small 'return' get deposited back into my MetaMask wallet once, which made me trust them more. Then, when I tried to withdraw a larger amount, they kept asking for more and more fees – 'tax fees', 'liquidity fees', 'regulatory compliance fees'. It just never ended. Now the website is gone, their chat doesn't respond, and my crypto is nowhere to be found.
I feel so stupid for falling for it. I've reported it to my local police here in Rotterdam, but they just kinda shrugged and said it's hard with crypto being international. Has anyone else encountered "Aloha Hawaii Tours & Travel" or something similar? Is there *any* real chance of getting my SOL back, or is it just gone for good?
