Description

Perpetrator acted as a business that other supposed companies hire to help them market their ads. A recruiter reaches out and connects you someone on Whatsapp. You had to invest $98.00 to get started (they show you how to send in bitcoin through cash app). The "customer service" gives you and bitcoin address and confirms your transfer. You "upload" one of these companies ad's and it shows that you profit afterward. The profit is shown in your "wallet" that they have on their website. You then get 2-3 more ads that increase in your money needed to invest. Each time you invest, it looks as though you are profiting. The person who is training you poses as they are investing as well. Even loaned me $1000 to help. This was a very long con (hours and hours). They did pay out small amounts to gain trust. After 4 weeks, the last series of ads were finished, but they said a technicality froze the $5000 payout and you must pay 50% more in order to withdrawal your profit showing in your wallet. However, customer service comes back and says that your credit score with them is too low because it took you too long to invest the money. They refuse to give any of it back unless you invest another $2,000.00. I don't know where it goes after this because I stopped. I was out $12,000 total. The "trainer" (Linda Johnson) then comes back and tries to send you to a place to take a loan out and gives you a website to do so. These people are very good. The website is well done, the ads are very detailed, the text messages are professional, and they really followed through. They introduced me to Crypto.com and how to navigate it. Still have money in that account.
