A warm greetings to all the beautiful ladies in this platform, I am opportune to participate in this week contest organized by our lovely sisters @ruthjoe , although I missed last week edition inwhich I won't love skipped any week without participating, but I'm here to share with you my worst experience so far in 2025, I have so much compounding story to share since is one story at a time permit me to start with this heartbreaking experience.

What happened

---

Last year Christmas my brother's best friend came home to visit his family for Christmas celebration and having been long since he visited Akwa Ibom,he based in Lagos State working in one company has a general manager, I met him in church and he promised to visit our house,so on Christmas day he came visiting us and he looks healthy and fat compare to slim tiny Edidiong that we use to know,so I decided to talk about online stuff with him and he actually responded that what is sustaining him in Lagos is online platform that his salary alone can't Carter for his bills and I was eager to know more about it. So he asked whether I'm familiar with bybit exchange and I responded very well and he said I need to invest some dollars and depending on the level that I want to subscribe to, before then,it was three levels which are
• Oceania 45 dollars
• Europe 100 dollars
• Antarctica 300 dollars
Before the subscription he had send a link for me via Whatsapp to sign up waiting for deposit,so I choose the package of 45 dollars carry out the subscription successfully and task is to watch promotional videos and earn so each day I'm supposed to earn 1.8 dollar every day for five days and the withdrawal amount is from 10 dollars, I successfully withdrew the first two weeks which I allow to accommodate to 18 dollar, network charge is 2.7 dollars so I was credited 15.3 dollars after the first two weeks of join.
Here's some of the screenshots of promotional videos I usually view to get paid

To cut the long story short, week before last, the link could not open and people began to panic, unfortunately or should I say luckily for me they ran away with my dollars, couldn't recover my money all, they blocked all withdrawal.

Here's my fund in the app that's withheld	Transaction not granted anymore

Presently, they are telling us story that the website was hacked and people's funds were tampered with,I believe they have gone away with people funds.

What I have learned from it

---

• I have learned to always analysis my risks before investing, unlike someone who put in his money meant for house rent.

Here's someone predicament in our Whatsapp platform.

• I have learned not to invest all my hard earn fund online because it can fail just like this particular one and you may be in very difficult situation when they just fold up.

This is someone pleading for his own money to help use his hand to invest.

• I have also learned that frustration can lead to suicide but that's not an option, just like one of us who invested 700k and nearly commits suicide when he heard that they had fold up and lastly don't collect loan for online business you are not sure of, invest little from your personal income.

Its sad 😭 😭, but someone needs to brace up
