🚨 FRAUD ALERT: False Investment via Acquaintance 🚨
A victim was introduced to a scammer through a mutual friend. The scammer offered a "great opportunity" to co-invest in a new company 💼, so the victim sent a large amount of funds. Later, the scammer asked to borrow even more, promising full repayment in just 2 months. As soon as the funds were sent, the scammer disappeared, with no contact, no repayment.
Tactics Used by the Scammer:
🔹 Building false trust: They leveraged a friend's recommendation to appear credible, making it seem like a secure personal connection 👥💬.
🔹 High-pressure investment presentations: Promising quick profits from a "joint venture" to create urgency and excitement ⚡📈.
🔹 Emotional manipulation: Asking for loans under the pretext of temporary need, with promises of short-term repayment to lower defenses 😢🤝.
🔹 Disappearance after payment: Vanishing as soon as the money was secured, often blocking contacts or changing numbers 🚪❌📵.
⚠️ Remember: Don't trust someone blindly just because you met them in person or even through a friend. Scammers are professionals at pretending relationships – even "acquaintances" can be misleading if their intentions are hidden 🕵️♂️❗
