Hi, I would like to seek for some help. I have known this Chinese guy on Tinder and suddenly we go on whatsapp for further conversation last September 2021, as months go by, we keep on chatting and he introduce me to an investment app or trading cryptocurrency.
What he does is would spend time to talk, know more about me, what do for a living and eventually lure me to start investing since I also need an extra income, so I tried first the P5,000. He has been known to be very rich, an owner of graphic design company, and one they he encourages me to earn on crypto. He asked me to install Binance and another 3rd party app (Arum.vip) that would like a legitimate international banking forex service at first, I was hesitated to install it since my phone had notified me that it is unsecured, so I send the screenshot to him as well, and he said just proceed and send him the screenshots, so I just follow his instructions. He was very informative and willing to guide me throughout the process and even taste of the gains from trading on the first few tries I try to withdraw higher amounts from then he tries me to encourage my friends and give the money back. Until this November 20 when he encourages me not to withdraw all the funds (P300,000) first because we will participate on a membership that would give extra USDT bonus. At first I was hesitant because Gold membership needs 88,888 USDT but he said he would help me so I trust him so I go on to process the membership and the bonus was credited immediately, by November 26 we finish trading and our funds reach 91,150USDT which is over from the needed USDT on membership (88,888) so I try to withdraw the 90,000USDT like what he said. But suddenly withdrawal was refused, and he instruct me to chat the customer service tell what happened. Then eventually the CS told me that I need to recharge/deposit the Balance of 78,700.13USDT the amount in our funds from the trade is not counted. Later on my friend send me some reviews and scam alert from the internet and found out the that this would turn out to be scams where I cannot withdraw my gains unless I meet the certain amount of depository requirements. And now I’m also worried that the identity that he is using is not him I only had his whatsapp number and I hope you could trace it +85268419309 Bokun Gao.

I am desperate for seeking for some help on how we can get our money  Please help me so I could also give my friends money back, its almost half a million and I dont have that kind of money to return it back
