On the date of 6th December 2021, I was browsing on youtube about cryptocurrency news. On the first page was shown a video labeled “Live” but I don`t remember the exact title of the video, but involved the expression MicroStrategy giveaway. On the video description, it was a link to the site https://www.m-saylor.com where they asked users to send BTC or ETH to a designated address with the hope of getting twice the amount back. I thought that the giveaway was genuine, I didn’t make any verification, I logged on to my Binance account and I sold other coins (like SOL, LUNA, ETH) and I bought BTC then I transferred the amount of 0.10025 BTC to the address specified on the https://www.m-saylor.com/bit/#giveaway webpage: 36zBUuaSRiW3K6jfHwRMqNzGDGuDVrbjDq. I waited for the promised found to return, but they didn’t. After that, I was looking and searching over the internet and I found that I was a victim of a scam. I lost most of my savings, 0.10025 bitcoins equivalent to 4862 $ at the date of the transfer. Maybe in other countries, this sum is not so big, but in Romania where the salaries are small compared with other countries in Europe, the sum I lost is weighing much more on the balance of the livelihood.
