WhatsApp investment scam promising 300% returns in crypto trading
I was added to a WhatsApp group called "Sri Lanka Crypto Millionaires Club" without my consent. The group admin claimed to be a professional crypto trader and showed screenshots of huge profits. They asked members to invest minimum LKR 50,000 through a website called "cryptoprofitlk.com" (now offline). They promised 300% returns within 2 weeks. I invested LKR 100,000. Initially, the dashboard showed my "profits" growing. When I tried to withdraw, they asked for a "withdrawal fee" of LKR 25,000. After paying that, the website went down and the WhatsApp group was deleted. Total loss: LKR 125,000. The website was not registered with the SEC of Sri Lanka.

Reported to the police. They said they've received multiple complaints about this.
Thank you for sharing. Shared this with my family and friends group.
The scammer contacted me too but I was suspicious from the beginning. Glad I trusted my instincts.
