Description
I was contacted from a random person on LinkedIn. After small talk they began to eventually talk about cryptocurrency. I was interested because I had little experience with it. After much pressure and promises, they got me to buy and send crypto eventually to a website called https://web.pzcoin.com/. During the time of a couple months, I made three deposits that added up to over 100k. From the website, they made it look like I was trading and making huge profits. During this time they allowed a few small withdraws to make it look legit. When I went to make a bigger withdraw, the website claimed that I need to pay a 130K gas fee to make the transaction or my account would freeze. This is when I realized I made a huge mistake and it was all a scam. Please help because now I'm in a horrible position. I have screenshots and their crypto wallet addresses and their WhatsApp number that we've been in contact with. Please let me know if there is anything else you need to know in this matter. I'm willing to help out in any way possible.
