I’m exposing the online dating/romance crypto investment scam I fell for so you don’t fall victim to it too. They’re still successfully scamming people out of millions of dollars every week on tinder, hinge, and bumble. From elaborate scripts to gaslighting techniques, please share 🥺

I never thought in a million years I’d fall victim to a scam, especially through online dating. But hey, shit happens and I’m trying my best not to blame myself or fall in a perpetual spiral of self-hate. I hope that in sharing this, it can help spread awareness and exposure so less people fall for it too (you might not fall for it, but a lot of people are).
Please be empathetic in the comments – anything rude or harsh you’re thinking of commenting has probably been weighing on my mind for the last two months already 😇
I’m finally starting to feel like I can move on, and it’s been tough navigating my mental health even before this happened. Excited to share more self care practices I’ve been trying that have helped my anxiety and depression a ton, cause they’ve been fuelled heavily with ammo from this situation for a while lol. Love ya lots and see you in the next video 💛
