Description

Was contacted via text message by Tina claiming her assistant gave her the wrong number. She hooked me in with her charm and we started conversating and she told me that the WhatsApp chat will be better to message back-and-forth. We started talking about crypto and she mentioned to me that she was an investor in the gold market and that goal was more stable than crypto. Eventually, she said she would mentor me if I was willing to let her teach me. I said why not so step-by-step downloaded the app Bitpoint. And she started guiding me from then on. In the back of my mind I felt that this was too good to be true that it may be a scam and was cautious to follow through. But after several days of chatting, I was convinced to take out a second mortgage and a loan from my bank and emptied out my crypto account totaling $47,000 and she promised that she would inject funds to cover the rest up to $100,000. So after a few trades we were making profit from the gold market I thought wow this is really happening so Tina loan me $45,000 to reach a $100,000 limit for maximum profit. I told her that the only way I’d pay her back would be through the profits only she agreed. And after several trades, I was making a withdrawal of $75,000 from the profit gold trading. The withdrawal was a red flagged and my account and supposedly her account were frozen because of the $45,000 that she deposited into my account was against policy. I told Tina that we agreed that the $45,000 she loan me would be paid through the profits of the gold account. Bitpoint who had frozen our accounts said that I would have to pay the $45,000 by my own means to get both her account and my account unfrozen and Tina was pushing me to get me to pay this $45,000 using a lawyer to threaten me via chat messaging. I did not succumb to his threats nor her threats of a lawsuit and charges of embezzling. And after two weeks of back-and-forth messaging to each other, Tina mentioned from the beginning of this gold account adventure that she had an aunt in New York working for some big trading firm. I believe it was venture-capital. Tina’s last message was that her aunt helped her to argue her position with the Bit Point platform and that she paid her portion of the fine and fees and that she was in the clear to continue trading and wish me good luck. Soon after she deleted all messages on Telegram and I was left hanging with a $47,000 debt, this was an elaborate scam job using the Bitpoint platform and a Los Angeles Attorney, who I do have all his information and have taken hundreds of screenshots of mine and Tina’s messaging and of the attorneys messaging. I will be passing this message on to the Bitpoint trading platform.
