On July 17th, 2022 I met a Nick Anderson, aka Nicholas Diamanti, on the dating app, Feeld. He matched with me and we quickly moved over to what's app. He told me he was a consultant for HSBC and trades on the side. I asked him for investment advice and he told me about his returns on his crypto investments. We seem to hit it off and we were soon trading together. He showed me how to use my external wallet and connect it to the trading exchange, coin. Exhsbc. Online.
I did basic research and didn't find anything on the site, I saw HSBC everywhere, they also needed my driver's license number, and the site looks real (see WhatsApp Chat History). So, I went ahead because I knew Nick wasn't touching my money.
Over the period of 4 weeks, I have invested 113k into "HSBC". Guided and pushed by Nick, a consultant who said "his customer service" is there/would take care of things. He was also romancing me.
The website is down and there is no way for me to get my money.
I found this business was under SEC's blacklist and more. I've been in contact with authorities.
