There was a guy from Nanping, Fujian, that everyone called Xiao Wu or Lao Ma. He used to run the show around the Xinshengtong Property area in Tin Enth. He was a company director with some shares in his pocket, and all the team leads reported directly to him.
Back then, a fellow laoxiang from back home lured me and my friend over when we were working under a different broker. When that laoxiang eventually did a runner, Xiao Wu saw we could pull in numbers and took us under his wing, even bumping up our commission by two or three points. Inside the company, his word was second only to the boss. We followed him for a little over a year, generated around a million USDT in sales, and actually made a bit of cash.
Over the last couple of years, the Western-market pig-butchering and crypto-chat scams haven't been doing well, and compounds have been dissolving one after another. My friend and I started thinking about heading home. When we went to Xiao Wu, he was surprisingly straightforward about it—he told us we could leave whenever, didn't hold back any of our commissions, and even promised to arrange our trip back. At the time, we thought this laoxiang was pretty stand-up, and the whole thing wrapped up like a neat little script.
It wasn't until I left the company and got my personal phone back that I realized something was wrong. My WeChat and Alipay suddenly had strange browsing history for online loans and stock trading apps. When I checked closer, I realized that ever since I first arrived here at the end of 2021—barely two months in—my phone had spyware installed on it. That company rule about handing in your phone during work hours? Turns out it was a trap laid out from the very beginning.
I’ve spent time out here digging into the whole story from start to finish, and I’ve got most of the evidence together. The only reason I stayed behind instead of rushing back is to make sure I’ve got all the proof locked down tight. My family back home has already filed a police report, and the public security bureau told us to get the chain of evidence solid so they can officially open a case the minute I land.
I’m blurring his name and giving this director a bit of breathing room purely out of respect for taking us in back then. But don't take other people for fools. You’ve made enough money, so it’s time to quit while you're ahead. This isn't over—see you at the police station back home.
