A Telegram user named 'Kitty Roaring' (with a verification badge) claimed to run an AI-based trading service — an AI-trading pig-butchering scam. In July 2025, I sent 1,000 USDC to the crypto address 0x1221e434ce9cc02b264531ff6d0c15603408b136 on the Ethereum network. The scammer later demanded a 10% advance 'commission fee' before any withdrawal and then ghosted me. This is a pig-butchering / advance-fee fraud scam.
