Description

I met a guy named Victor Sloan on Instagram (his Instagram is @victor_0518_). He scammed me into investing to this fake trading platform called LBMA (website is: h5.lbmaex.exz). He communicated mainly through WhatsApp. He used romance scam and persuaded me to liquidate my stocks and 401K retirement and deposit to the platform using cryptocurrency. Once I deposited my money, I could not withdraw anymore. The platform wants me to pay ridiculous taxes in order to withdraw. Please investigate and report this Victor Sloan individual and his website LBMA. It's a scam and there could be more potential victims in the future.
