Description

I was notified by a person named Horace Starling who said he could help me pay off my credit card. He even showed me other people he helped. All I need to do is buy bitcoin on cash app and he do the rest. He first set it up for me to receive the fund though a company called trust wallet. I wasn’t able to get the funds cause I refused to pay anymore money. So the he set it up with a company called Fundtrex which I did give them my credit card info. They in turn paid a total of 2000.00 on my Amazon chase card and a total of 900 on my capital one card but a few days later I got a notice from both company that the payment had been returned I did contact the company and they never got back to me. Then I contact Horace S. and he said he would help me get the funds that were still in the trust fund all I needed was to get 8% of the money in the trust wallet but I told him know I wasn’t going to give him anymore money I then ask him if he could just cash app me money that I paid into bitcoin and he never said he would Also they were purchases on my capital one card after the payment was reversed I contacted the CC co and they closed my acct and our sending me a new card I feel I have been scammed.
