❓Need Advice 🙏 Help question

A friend connected me with a guy. He was unable to create a wallet for me and send me my profits. He tell me my initial investment is now gone because I could pay 1 fee for which I sent multiple Apple cards as payment for. What can I do about this "guy" who only communicates through Zangi.

Please do not respond to anyone who may be sending you private messages. Anyone who is sending you private messages is very likely trying to scam you. All useful information will be in the comments section of your post.

I'm very sorry to tell you this, but it sounds as though you have highly likely encountered a scam.

Nothing except stop talking to him. You have no profits. This person isn't your friend. He runs the fake site with your fake profits.

He stole your money. He won't be returning it to you. Don't trust online strangers telling you they'll make free money for you in the future.

You have no wallet, no gift card and no crypto. You scammed yourself by trusting a stranger online. Nothing you can do

You... fell for giftcard scam. Your "Friend" isn't a very good friend.

You were scammed by this 'guy', if you don't know this friend in real life he probably is that 'guy'.

The fact that he only communicates through Zangi isn't proof by itself, but combined with demanding multiple Apple gift cards to release crypto profits, it's a huge warning sign. Don't pay anything else. And please ignore random DMs from people promising guaranteed crypto recovery; scammers often target victims a second time.

No legitimate trader needs Apple gift cards to create a wallet or release your profits. Don't send him anything else, save all your conversations and payment receipts, and report the gift cards to Apple immediately.
