Description

I was sold a program I thought was an online store for e-commerce, instead I was asked to down load an app and shown that my money was being invested in bitcoin. I was told more was needed to fund my account and that I would receive a payout if I gave more money, in addition to the already oaid $1495. I asked for a refund and was told "thats not how it works'. All I asked for several times was a refund for the intial $1,495. I am entitled to my money back. I did not appreciate being pressured for money I do not have to invest. I did not understand thst it is an investment in bitcoin. I did not want any involvement with this.
