Many months ago, I had joined an online community that would help and train you to post viral videos online, like YouTube and TikTok and Instagram etc., getting views that would help you get your channel monetized so that you could start a successful side hustle online while you are working your regular 9-5 job. If things got so well, some had even planned to leave their 9-5 job and post content online as their full-time job. After doing this I received a direct message on Discord from someone with a username called "Nickcoumine"(I thought that this was the leader of the online community that I had joined but I WAS MISTAKEN) asking about one of the TikTok accounts I had created to post content online after joining the online community I mentioned above, basically asking if I needed help with it, he has a profile picture of a guy that looks to be in his mid-twenties looking off in a distance in a park. The account was basically dead because I hadn't posted on it for quite some time because I was busy with other matters at that time. He said that he would help me if I didn't mind and that it would cost me some funds (basically directing me to supposedly one of his developers that was proficient in growing online channels and accounts for a price.) So, then I agree and he gives me her discord which is "CHRISTINE BETTY EMPIRE?? with a profile picture of two lightbulbs. I message her and then we start chatting about growing my channels. I send her money via Coinbase in bitcoin (BTC) and sometimes sent it via cashapp bitcoin (BTC) as well. This has been ongoing for the past few months so far, money for the channel, money for a LLC I believe, gave her the username and password for the account on TikTok, and she has raised the followers to 4 thousand followers. But then things went silent and now she was kind of stalling, asking for more small increment payments to speed up the process of getting the account enough followers to make money online. I then say that I want a refund, then she says like "ok just give me 3 days Then l You will start making money" I waited 3 days and still nothing drastic has changed. Said I wanted a refund again, told her the amount that I've given thus far I want back, and have been messaging asking where she is and she is not responding now. So here we are. Nickcoumine also requested like $450 sent in BTC for a exclusive VIP channel.
