Description

They contacted me VIA TikTok friended me on Facebook and was saying he is a trader. I sent money cash app by bitcoin. He kept saying it was vertex he was working for. I have emails and messages from him with pictures. He said he lives in Texas. Was told I needed to update to their software for 2700$ in order to get my money from them. Also I was supposed to sign an agreement from them and send it back to them. They needed a way to send me the money for I gave my account information to deposit this before I was told about the extra payment for “software “. Now I have learned that someone has asked about a car loan and insurance in my name with my bank. I have since changed my information. I was also told I had to pay the IRS 750 in taxes for the amount I was to receive. I have emails stating I did pay them along with other emails.
