An AI crypto trading bot showed my boyfriend $50,000 but kept asking for fees

My boyfriend was contacted through Telegram about an AI crypto trading bot that supposedly generated huge profits at the click of a button.

The bot showed around $50,000 in profit, but when he tried to withdraw, the system kept demanding more fees. He paid some of those charges through gift cards because that was the payment route he was given. After fees were supposedly covered, the bot asked for even more money to confirm the payment method and later pushed for Solana.

The displayed profit was used to keep him believing a payout was close. In reality, every withdrawal step became another request for money.
