Well, Many people fall into this scam when they are starting out with crypto. 

Their modus operandi is like this:

1. You will get a message or invitation from your acquaintance in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Macau. This could be really anyone from any place...all these name are given just as an example. Though we have seen a lot of Indians being lured by their acquaintances in these cities.
2. They share that they found this amazing opportunity and have been making a lot of money with this website. They share pictures of their latest luxury purchases such as a luxury car, huge house or a boat
3. You message the the telegram admin.
4. He will ask you to buy USDT in P2P market on Binance, etc and transfer to his crypto wallet.
5. Once money us received into his wallet.
6. He will send you over to a website where you can see your gains and deposit.
7. You will be asked to create a login id
8. The website could be anything but its a scam website
9. After getting my login details, everyday it was updated and when it was pay day, I request to withdraw.
10. He asked me for a withdrawal fee (which has to be from external wallet).
11. I asked him why can’t he just take it from my earnings, he replied it is due to security reasons, they can’t take the earnings. (red flag!)
12. I stopped communicating with him, knowing my 200 is gone.
13. I went on to tell other investors of the scam, and he found out and dang, I was banned from the group!

Modus Operandi: Invoke greed of customers, show up different processes step by step instead of being transparent upfront, hook them with their investment, show greater profits with more investment, threaten them with no response if not agreed, invoke a sense of regret until they agree.
