It started out with an innocent accidental text sent to me, after I responded we started to become friends over a period of time May 3,2025 into August 2025. Her name was Elena Miller if that was her real name. She convinced me to put the What's App on my phone she said she preferred communicating that way. We told each other our life stories; she started telling me she could help me improve my financial situation. She told me she lived comfortably and gained her fortune in Short Term Gold Investment. She said her Uncle George Miller had worked on Wall Street with a group of analysts that told her when the market was good and when to sell and when to buy, they used this platform for trading on https://m.kitcopro.com. It was set up with Crypto exchange and I had a Coinbase Wallet linked to it. I was employed when this began back in May 2025 and by July 11,2025, I had been convinced to quit my job She told me I was losing money in my 401K and should quit my job withdrawal all my 401k and invest in this gold investment. I quit my job and did withdrawal all my 401k and invested on August 6,2025 we did about 4 trades that night and it looked like I was going to be a millionaire. See she told me her uncle told me I could join the Consortium with a $200,000.00 principal then all your trades would be secure and guaranteed 200%. After the trades that night it was kind of late, and we decided to wait till Thursday the 7th of August to move our profits into our personal bank accounts. I come to find out that the money I profited were in a Kitco bank. I had a supposed amount of around $1,004,466.38 dollars the bank required an I.D. such as a driver's license and a 10% margin of $100,446.63 in order to get my money out the $100,446.63 would be refunded back into my account 2-3 hours after confirmation. Then I could claim my money, I was concerned and told Elena there was no way I could raise that money by August 15,2025. Then Elena says we have to get loans out to try and raise money. That is a whole other part of the scam to make money off of that margin. That bank went on to say if you fail to take your funds by that time late fees will incur to further pressure you into trying to get your money.
