I was contacted on the 9th of October by a girl met on some dating app site. Her name is Menjie but her FB is completely different (I figured out later). After a bit of small talk she introduced me to this "hobby" of hers consisting in trading on the CP+ platform. According to her, her uncle has a team of 20 analysts into this project and she sent several screenshots during this time showing how much money she is making.
The URL I was sent to download this app is
https://yuxin20.com/myuxI dismissed it as a scam right away but after quite a while she seemed very legit. I gave in and invested less than $500. Most evenings, she would send me this "plans" her uncle made to make profit. And we did. I deposited, purchased and withdrawn. The bonus scheme was slightly different but basically the same: 3000 - 388USDT; 10000 - 688USDT; and so on.
Up to slightly less than 5k it went well. I made some money out of it. With the winnings I reached 9670 usdt more or less.
Then it started getting a bit funny: At this point the CP+ customer service pressed on making me recharge up to 10k, to get the bonus, as there supposedly was ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT fo this "activity" as they call them. I refused, they added 688 usdt to my account anyway (calling it a misunderstanding) and told me that I had 7 days to top up or the account would be frozen. I recharged (fool), thinking I'd do one last bid and finally withdraw for the last time before it gets even uglier (remarkably fool). The next night, finally the plan comes from Manjie... but I need 20k to participate. These bids get higher and higher. At the beginning I had
I thought: "Worst case scenario, I'll just bid some money blindly and withdraw the rest... but no! After you pass the 10k limit, you must purchase all your funds worth of data in one session in order to withdraw. Bear in mind that this stuff is told to you bit by bit. Rules keep changing depending on your membership etc.
Long story short: my money is stuck in that app, Menjie is behaving like she's offended and angry because I said that this starts smelling like a scam (no Manjie, no plans, no withdrawals), the customer service keeps playing dumb when I ask for Terms and Conditions, they're not registered anywhere and I'm an idiot.
I'll let you know if I manage to get out of it with some or nothing.
