Lost my super to a 'Tinder Match' and a fake crypto platform, how do I report this from Australia?
Okay, so I'm honestly still in shock and pretty embarrassed to even write this. I met 'Jessica' on Tinder a couple of months ago, and we really hit it off. Or so I thought. She was charming, really seemed interested in me, and we talked daily, moved to WhatsApp eventually. Then, she started talking about this amazing crypto investment platform her 'uncle' had showed her. It was all super casual at first, just an idea. But over time, she convinced me to put in a little, then more. Eventually, I put in a significant chunk of my superannuation, thinking I was securing my future with her. The 'profits' on the screen were insane, but now I can't withdraw anything. The site is gone, her number is dead. I'm in Sydney, Australia, and I don't even know where to begin reporting this. I feel so stupid. Has anyone else been through this? What's the best way to get official help here or even try to trace these funds?
