Hey guys, just wanted to warn everyone about a scammer I encountered on Discord going by the name 'LFG Trades'. Claimed to be a pro trader, but all they did was take my BTC and vanished into thin air. Anyone else have a similar experience or knows a way to get my funds back?

Dude, sorry to hear that. Have you tried contacting Discord Support and reporting the scammer? You can also try reaching out to the crypto exchange your funds were sent to, they might be able to freeze the account or help you recover your funds.

No, that's a bummer to hear. Have you reached out to Discord support and reported the scammer? They might have ways to help you track down the funds or get a refund.

Omg that's so sick, sorry to hear you got scammed. Have you filed a report with Discord's trust and safety team? Also, you might wanna reach out to the crypto community on Discord or Reddit to see if anyone's been scammed by the same trader.

Sorry to hear that dude. I've heard of this LFG dude - been spreading scams left and right on Discord. You might want to try reaching out to support on Discord and see if they can help you recover your funds, or try contacting your bank/trade exchange to freeze the account.

Dude that's super frustrating, I've seen those fake LFG traders popping up in our server too. You should def report the incident to Discord support and also try to get in touch with the crypto exchange where you sent the funds, they might be able to help you track it down. Also, make sure to post about it in our server's scam alert channel so others can beware of the scammer's username.
