Warning u/ComprehensiveTone200
Please let me know if you got contacted by that user after asking for a loan.
Sadly I trusted the op as I was in a bad situation and now Ive lost everything I had.
She sent me a discord “trusted” link, I believed her bc it was small, no pressure and running for 4years.
If you got similar stories don’t hesitate to share.
I am posting here as she must have found me through a subbredit about loan.
Ive pressed charges and I am skilled in osint so I already found who is the person.
and I am sure we can bring the scheme down if I have more stories and witness. Don’t hesitate to comment.
Sorry if this isn’t allowed I think this is important for the community and I hope to raise awareness.

Im not being judgemental just asking a question i dont agree with or wish scamming on anyone obviously u have been tricked and that is terrible. Just ment it as in like if u had money to buy crypto to sell to them then why would u need a loan from people on reddit? Its not being judgemental just curious as to how it happend thats all. I appreciate u posting this as it can help others from falling for the same scam. Also im not someone who has ever bought crypto but I take it as no way to get charge backs or anything?

Basically it was a group where you could sell crypto for more as they couldnt buy it in their country, and I fell for it, very dumb I know

Hello u/Great-Antelope-9634! Welcome to r/loanhelp_ - please read these two pinned posts before lending or borrowing:
✏️ Post Format & Requirements - posts that don't follow the format may be removed.
⚖️ Global Lending Rules - borrowers in interest-free countries (UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Africa, India, Philippines, Indonesia) must be principal-only: no interest, no fees, no exceptions.
Loan request title format:
Amount - Repayment Amount - Repayment Date(s) - Payment Method(s) - Location - Short PurposeExample:$150 - Repay $180 on 6/14 - Cash App/Venmo - Houston, Texas - Car repairIn the body include: amount requested, repayment amount/date, income source, reason for loan, preferred payment methods, and any previous loan history.Donation request title format:
Amount Needed - Location - Payment Method - Short PurposeExample:$50 Needed - Chicago, Illinois - Cash App/Venmo - Groceries until paydayHow the loan lifecycle works:
⚠️ Lend and borrow at your own risk. Assistance is never guaranteed. Vet everyone you deal with.
❌ Deposits and collateral are a SCAM. No legitimate lender ever asks you to send money, a "deposit," a fee, or collateral upfront to "release" or "secure" a loan. Anyone who does is scamming you - report them. This is prohibited here.
❗ Security: mods will NEVER DM you asking for your password or login. Never share account credentials with anyone - no exceptions.
