Scammer reached out to me on a platform on Facebook, asked me lots of questions regarding the sport, then talked about other things and then into cypto. Same thing as others, her uncle in New York has a team and they study the market trends and knows when to do trading nodes for 30 seconds. I only did a small investment and made some money. She really pushed to really put a lot of money into it and I would not. Then my balance got to be fairly large and I went to go withdraw it, from her directions, it become stuck in CONFIRMING on CBOTOP. Customer service there was not helpful and definitely seemed fake. CS and the lady, Julie Xiao, said I have to pay the capital gains taxes before withdrawing the money. She said that I have to use cash and pay and prove I paid taxed for them to release my funds. Now I know for sure it is all fake, and why I only invested a small amount. She was friendly and also a fashion designer, but I could not find her company with the Secretary of State in California, so I also knew that was a flag. I figured I would see where it would go since I already deposited a small amount of money. Once she figured that I was not going to deposit anymore money, she got angry with me. I believe that the CBOTOP was their app and so they can manipulate it anyway they choose, as in making money and not making money. It seemed legit at first but once your money was pulled out of Coinbase and into CBOTOP, that is where they steel your money.
