Description

I met this guy Luca Mayer on Instagram threads. We formed a romantic connection and about a month in he asked me to invest in spot gold. I signed up thinking it was a legitimate website and took out all of my 401 k, savings and loans to invest. At first they allowed me to take out a couple thousand dollars and then when I needed to take out more they said I needed to pay an anomaly verification of 95,000 by a certain date in order to get my account to normal and use my funds. The website where my money was was LBMA-forex.com and is a scam website. They threaten to freeze your account if it’s not paid by a certain date and also other attempts at extorting the money.
