Fallen into a scam

Hello everyone,

I think I've just fallen victim to a scam... I found out about a method on Telegram that supposedly allows me to make profits using an algorithm... I get the algorithm if I pay 20% of my winnings to the tipster... and yes... unfortunately I was naive enough to pay in... 🙄🙄🙄 please don't judge me, I know it was stupid... I've heard of similar things before, that there are some kind of casino glitches, and so I thought, maybe I'll get lucky and find a glitch that actually works... I also used a different email address to register and not my "real" email... I paid with Apple Pay... what can happen to me now? Can my account actually be used for fraudulent purposes? Help!!

And what does it actually do for the scammer that my money is now at the casino? I didn't actually win anything, just bet €30 and lost... my stake is still in the casino account, and a withdrawal is only possible if you bet at least €500... By the way, this is felixspin.com... what can he do now? My online banking is protected by a push-TAN entry... Please help me quickly!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Hey,

unfortunately, this is exactly the type of scam that’s been spreading on Telegram and similar channels for years. The whole "algorithm" or "glitch" story is just a hook to make people believe they found some secret shortcut to guaranteed winnings. But if something like that really worked, the whole world would be full of headlines about players breaking casinos every day, obviously, that never happens.

The only ones who win here are the scammers: they take advantage of people’s hopes and then disappear with whatever money they can get out of you. Casinos don’t have magic loopholes you can exploit by paying someone on Telegram.

The good news: if you just deposited with Apple Pay and didn’t hand over personal banking details, your online banking is safe. What you risked is only the money you already sent. The scammer can’t "use" your casino account in some special way, it’s just sitting there like any other account with a balance.

It’s tough, but please take it as an expensive lesson: if someone ever offers you "surefire gambling tricks" for a fee, it’s always a scam, no exceptions!
