Description

David Micheal Johnson introduced himself to me on X. He claimed to be a private investigator who could help me retrieve the money I lost to Franklin Matt Evans in a romance con and bring charges against him. It was all a lie. He set up a bank account without my knowledge or permission with ChevAccess Bank and deposited $70,000 into the account. I foolishly spent $14653.76 attempting to access the funds. Included in those funds was $ 5360 to purchase software to track down Matt Evans. I have never had access to the account. The FBI advised me not to touch the account and I haven't. At one point, David Johnson claimed he was falling in love with me. Then, he also told me I owned him money for his services and he threatened to press charges against me with the police if I didn't pay him.
