Description
Saw the post on Facebook for an investment opportunity. I had some extra cash, so I invested in the company through PayPal Credit because I didn't want the company to have direct access to my bank account or any of my Debit Cards. They switched their site to a new domain, which is what through up the red flag. Then, when I tried to withdraw money, they only used the crypto website, Coinbase. They would let me take out really small amounts, like $50, but when I tried to withdraw more, I was barraged with phone calls from Del Mar to reinvest the money back into their company instead of withdrawing the money. Second red flag.
