Description
In September I met a girl named Amy on Tinder. Not long after starting a conversation she eventually transitioned to talking about crypto currency and investing. She talked me into downloading two apps (WhatsApp and Telegram). Then I started investing in a website called cryptocurrencyglobal.com. She helped start me out, but eventually convinced me into taking out 2 personal loans. Amy then directed me to a trading group run by two individuals named Jacob and his assistant Alice on Telegram. After about 2 months an individual in the group went to withdraw funds from the website and the site requested a tax payment. At Jacob's direction everyone was to withdraw all their funds. However after people started paying off the tax amount, they were directed to pay a block mining commission fee because they had a junior wallet account. I have photos from the site's customer support and photos of Amy. I do not have images of Alice or Jacob. I attempted to upload the photos, but this platform only allows me to upload one image. About two days after Jacob instructed all group members to withdrawal all funds, Alice shut down the group chat. For those two days, members of the group were discussing paying the tax and I posted a question asking if the tax was legit. The group chat was shut down within about a few hours of my post.
