"Scammer backfire! hhahaha"
Hi all. I want to share my experience communicating online with love scam crypto version. The best way to depict my experience is for you to read my whatsapp screenshot. However, I will also summarize what has been happened through my online encounter with the scammer.
In summary, the love scammer modus operandi is same with the scam warning display in the Huobi platform which called "shā zhū pán" scam, or also known as “Pig-Butchering Scam” or “Romance Scam”.

In my story, I will be more specific. I 'met' the scammer online through apps called "Tagged". The scammer introduce herself as Tricia who is 24 year old successful lady. She is a mix of Russian- Korean and working as head of risk analyst. She live in Korea, however temporarily due to the business need, she will be staying at 5 stars hotel Royale Chulan, Seremban, Malaysia.
The scammer aka Tricia, at the beginning chatted about life with the victim/ me. She sometimes flirting and act innocent. She also shown interest to befriend/ or have relationship with the victim, and she shown caution because she was afraid to meet bad guys online. At the same time, she also shown effort to portray herself as a successful person.
Sometimes, she will also chat about work related issue and at the same time trying to give 'hint' that during free time, she love to trade and review trend which info was given by her uncle. The sentence about her love to 'review trend' will be repeated multiple times to instill curious to the victim. Through this method, the victim who will be the one asking and initiate the conversation about the crypto trade will be less cautious about scammer. Because in the mind of victim, the victim is the one who started the conversation about the crypto trade.
In my story, once I ask about the 'trend', Tricia started explaining excitedly that the trend was the crypto trend which guarantee to return a hefty profit because her uncle working with a group of people who can 'push the trend price'. Then she introduced a 'fraud' platform called NF35. She the persuaded me to do trade through this platform.
In the first trade through NF35, which was performed in small amount. I don't have any trouble to withdraw the coin from NF35 platform through wallet transfer. In addition, the trade return a profit of 25%. I believe the scammer did this to instill trust the victim.
Next, Tricia persuade me to perform trade in much larger capital when the chance come again later.
However, I am lucky that my experience/ story was stopped at this phase. I not performing the second trade despite persuaded by the scammer that the next profit will be a very huge profit.
At last, in contrary, after being scam, I gain 110 USDT profit because I were lucky.
So what is NF35?
Through research online, NF35 is a fraud platform which was 100% control by scammer. From the surface, the platform interface looks legit. Furthermore, the platform can be downloaded through Google play store. The platform also has wallet address for user which is similar like others legit exchanger. NF35 also has user verification through email and mobile number. Any wallet transaction required TAC which will be sent to register mobile number. Thus in the surface, this platform will fool the victim and looks legit.
However, there are things which is out of place thus make me believe that this NF35 platform is own by the scammer.
1. The scammer can fully control the price of the coin. In this scam, the scammer will ask the victim to buy coin with the pair ACMN/USDT which is ACUMEN coin. The buying timing receive from the scammer is too precise. 10 minutes after buying the coin, ACMN coin immediately move uptrend about 24%. 10 minutes after selling the coin, the ACMN price is moving back to the bottom immediately.
2. From the past/historical trend of the ACMN/USDT in the NF35 platform, this happening almost everyday (24% uptrend, and then going back to bottom). If NF35 is a legit platform, everyone will be rich due to this easy to predict fluctuation.
3. I try to buy the ACMN coin through NF35 without the knowledge of the scammer. However, I was stopped by a system pop up, that to buy the coin, minimum buying price required is 90 USDT!! However, this minimum buying price is not impose to the other coin. This thing is unique to the ACMN/USDT pair only!!!
4. The ACMN/USDT pair is also conveniently place at the top of the market list. I believe this is to ease the scammer to scam the victim. So the victim will not have difficulty to find the pair.
5. The platform also does not have any sort function to sort the coin pair. The list cannot be sorted by name, volume, 24h profit etc.
6. Minimum withdrawal from the NF35 wallet is 100 USDT!!
7. There is also free mining feature. The output is 0.81 TRX per day without any cost or requirement to stack. It is illogical that free mining exist. However, don't be fool, it is almost impposible to withdraw this 'free mining coin' because the minimum withdawal is 100 USDT!!
8. This platform also receive negative review in google play store. Any good review receive seems like come from a fake person.
I hope my sharing and information will help the crypto trader out there from being the victim of this high level scam.
PS: Hi Tricia, if you read this, thanks for the 110USDT profit. MUahhhh😘😘😘😘😘
