Urgent Scam Alert: Fake Arbitrage Stole 9,309.595 HIVE + $5 Commiss...

Hi Hive community and witnesses,

I was scammed via an Instagram ad leading to a Telegram channel, where a guy named "Francesco Cyrpto" promised arbitrage profits using HIVE/USDT spreads. He instructed me to withdraw HIVE from MEXC to a wallet he provided (Hive account@uid89551958), using my MEXC UID and memo ("118222"), which I believed were for my legitimate use. He never disclosed that he had created this wallet on Hive (October 16, 2025) under his control using my details without my knowledge. Initially, small amounts (e.g., 9.000 HIVE, 2515.690 HIVE) were returned with 2-3% gains, but on October 22, 2025, a withdrawal of 9,309.595 HIVE did not return. Francesco directed me to a fake support account "Hive account@hivetoken_official" on Telegram, which gave a fabricated explanation about "RAM allocation" and asked me to resend funds. I refused, and later found that 9,310.595 HIVE was unauthorizedly transferred from Hive account@uid89551958 to Hive account@mxchive (TX ID: 0032213ac34b8ea173a3f86e0b2bd9e07ab56532), executed by the scammer using keys he controlled.

After the theft, on October 23, 2025, he demanded a $5 commission, which I sent as USDT to a TRON wallet (TXnpNZ8bNM1WXCyFQMkisQZ5UCg6iWE6kP, https://tronscan.org/#/address/TXnpNZ8bNM1WXCyFQMkisQZ5UCg6iWE6kP), created that day for the purpose.

Additional $5 Commission: Sent as USDT to TRON address TXnpNZ8bNM1WXCyFQMkisQZ5UCg6iWE6kP on October 23, 2025 (wallet created that day, funded by Bybit).

Suspicious Accounts:

Hive account@uid89551958 (scammer-created, recovery: creatorofhivewal)
Hive account@hivetoblockchain (sent lure funds)
Hive account@creatorofhivewal (funded fake returns)
Fake Telegram: Hive account@hivetoken_official (demanded more funds with fake "RAM" story)

Evidence:

Chat screenshot with "Hive account@hivetoken_official" (attached if possible).
Telegram channel reported and deleted.

Request for Action:

Please Investigate the unauthorized transfer (TX ID: 0032213ac34b8ea173a3f86e0b2bd9e07ab56532) from the scammer-created wallet Hive account@uid89551958, established using my MEXC UID and memo without my consent.
Flag Hive account@hivetoblockchain, Hive account@creatorofhivewal, and Hive account@uid89551958 as potential scam accounts.
Assist in blacklisting or freezing related accounts if evidence supports it.
Support my MEXC report by providing blockchain data to authorities.
Please help if there is a way to recover my funds.

Additional Notes:

The scammer exploited my MEXC UID and memo "118222," which I provided in good faith, to create Hive account@uid89551958 (October 16, 2025) and control it, siphoning 9,309.595 HIVE.
The remaining 9,567.205 HIVE in Hive account@uid89551958 is at risk; I'm securing it now.
I've reported to MEXC and will file a police report (e.g., IC3).
