PortalBridge by Wormhole is a scam

I’ve been trying to bridge my USDC from metamask (arbitrum network) to my phantom wallet. First, it said it’ll take approximately 18 minutes to proceed. Decided to take a bathroom break and came back it says “transaction in progress” (see image 2). It was stuck for a few hours so I joined the portalbridge discord to ask for help. Followed the instructions of the discord help and it still says “Error with Transfer, Please Try Again”. Then I scrolled up on the general chat and Saw MANY people experiencing similar issue and no one receiving any help to solving their lost funds. PLEASE SPREAD WORD TO PREVENT FURTHER LOSSES! This is my first time EVER using portalbridge, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time… I’m down bad on ETH and I just hate crypto rn…. I’m feeling so helpless I can legit jump off a building
