So this girl added my mate on facebook pretending she is really interested in him, they exchanged messages back and forth for a few days and then she started recommending crypto trading saying she’s been a trader for almost 10 years and she’s worked for some of the biggest finance companies etc she tells him if he follows her advice on when to buy and sell, he can make thousands every week.

Long story short, invested 3k on a trading platform called metapro-fx.com He made £20k within 2-3 days and then further invested further £12k of his savings and supposedly made £100k profit within a week. So now he wants to withdraw the £100k (USDT) profit from the wallet into his bank account, however he needs to pay a 5% fee (roughly 5k) upfront before he can withdraw the £100k profit.

Now he is desperately going round borrowing money from friends and family to raise the 5k fee. What’s the likelihood that he’s getting scammed because he seems to be adamant and completely brainwashed that this is totally legitimate and the reason that girl has been giving him all this trading advice is because she’s really into him and she really likes him. He’s been accusing me of being jealous and a hater every time I tried convincing him this sounds waaaay too good to be true and is most likely a scam. Apparently I’m jealous that he made £100k in a week

There is a 100% chance he has been scammed. Something similar happened to my brother. I told him it had to be scam, but he didn't want to hear it.

People who fall for scams deserve no sympathy.

Anyone with low awareness or an IQ below 110 should be exterminated.

I used to work for a crypto recovery firm. I've seen this exact scenario play out. His money is 100% in a Laotian bank account right now, and he will never ever see it again. Outside of going full Liam Neeson from Taken, it's a total loss.

>He’s been accusing me of being jealous and a hater every time I tried convincing him this sounds waaaay too good to be true and is most likely a scam. Apparently I’m jealous that he made £100k in a week

Fuck him. Honestly, you should scam him now. Send him an email saying he's from the Laotian police and they found the criminals, but you need to pay a Private Investigator/lawyer/whatever $10k to prepare the case, which then he'll get his money back within a couple of weeks. Of course, in a couple weeks, say the criminals went to Thailand so now we have to pay a Barrister in Thailand $2k to transfer whatever. Repeat until he wises up, runs out of money, or puts a gun in his mouth for being a fucking retard. Buy yourself a hot tub with the gains.

Let him takes his chances, 5k isn’t going to ruin his life but it will definitely lower his position within his family if not completely ruin relations with whoever in his family he borrows from.
But on the real, ur friend (aka you) is 100% getting scammed by a jeet on some nigerian prince shit

My (dumb) coworker fell for the same thing, same exact scam word for word, most obvious fucking catfish ever. If you want to see the site he's using to "make his thousands" it's: m.perioex.com

Shit looks janky and suspect as fuck. Also the "crypto" he's "trading" on the site (PERI) isn't listed anywhere.

I don't think he's tried to withdraw yet so he hasn't been hit with the "withdrawal fee" but it's gonna be a good kek when it happens.
