Description

I met a guy on Instagram. He said he lived in Dubai 9years. Owned 3 car dealerships. 2 in Dubai and 1 in Lagos Nigeria ????. He pursued a friendship turned into love ?? and possibly marriage. I was interested in learning about investments and trading. So he gave me a link Capitalpro investments and started an account for me. He invested a lot of his money ?? to help support my efforts as if we were a team saving money together for retirement. Of course they get you involved in this fake love relationship. Future faking of a life together ?? marriage etc. So you can trust them. I was a fool and a sucker and I should've known better. We got my balnance up to $62,000. Then when I tried to get a withdrawal request of $5k. Online they kept asking me for fees and more money ??. So I never received any of my money that ai was asking for. They still kept saying they're working on it for nearly 2months. But at first they kept lying to me saying when you make a payment of $1000. In 5min your withdrawal request will be transferred into your checking account or cashapp which ever you chose. I started the investment account 12-5-23 - present. My balance is $62,000. But I'm unable to get access to my money. Its a scam. And eventually the guy friend that ai was talking to all of a sudden stop calling or texting when I refused to make anymore deposits to this fraudulent scam investment account. Its in my name with my personal information on it. But I'm unable to withdraw or receive any of the money.
