Description
A coworker of mines made me invest in a company by the name of LSSC (Lighting shared scooter company). I was told to deposit $5k to rent out scooters that supposedly run for four hours, five days a week, weekend excluded. I was told after two months I would make back my initial investment. After being in LSSC for 1 week I came to realization I was scammed and that I was coerced into investing into a Ponzi/pyramid scheme. I asked the fraudulent company to refund me my money and I was bombarded with excuses claiming the money was delayed. They claim they fixed the delays and we would be receiving our money through bitcoin instead of USDC.Poloygon in 72 hrs. Once 72hrs came they came with another excuse saying we had to pay a verification fee of $2490 in order for me to withdraw my $5,000. They claim if I didn't pay the verification fee I would lose my $5,000 and my account would be fortified. Wallet Address where the $5,000 USD was deposited: 1KrpyCiVEK2etig4onZAfmEFmFWS2nt3vJ
