Description
Name, email, no SSN. Watched a podcast with Elon Musk. At the end of the podcast a website popped up for blue chip USA.com. Contacted them by email, got a call from someone. Sent $500.00 by PayPal to invest in crypto. In a few days, logged on and account showed there was over $800 in it. I got a call to invest more. I did not. Next, in a few days the account had over $1,000 in it. I logged on to withdraw my initial $500. Never got it, I called and was told my advisor was not longer there. Someone else would call me in 10 minutes. Never got a call. Next, the website froze with the amount of over $1,000 as my balance but never got my $500. Back
