In early 2024, a college student from Canada fell victim to a highly sophisticated scam involving a fake Virtual Reality (VR) investment platform. The website advertised itself as the “world’s first decentralized VR wealth growth system,” promising daily profits through “AI-driven VR asset flipping.”
The platform showcased:
-
Professional 3D graphics
-
Fake demo dashboards
-
AI-generated avatars acting as “support agents”
-
Unrealistic profit charts
-
Fabricated testimonials that appeared to be verified by Google and Trustpilot
Over the span of 11 days, the student invested $2,850 CAD, believing the VR investment technology was legitimate. But when he tried to withdraw just $100, the system demanded a “liquidity release fee.”
That was the moment he realized it was a fraud.
He turned to Cyanosoft.com after searching “how to recover money from VR investment scam” on Google and Bing.
How the Scam Worked
The scammers used a combination of:
1. AI-Generated Content
The entire website, from the chatbot to the testimonials, was generated using tools similar to ChatGPT, making everything look technologically advanced and trustworthy.
2. Fake Government Licensing
The site displayed bogus certification badges claiming to be approved by:
-
FINTRAC Canada
-
SEC USA
-
MAS Singapore
All of which were completely fabricated.
3. Manipulated Profit Dashboard
The victim’s account showed increasing daily profits, giving the illusion of real earnings.
4. Fake Withdrawal Policies
The scammers blocked withdrawals with excuses such as:
-
Verification fees
-
Liquidity fees
-
Regional tax clearance
-
“VR system maintenance delay”
All designed to extract more money.
