Description
I was asked by a women on TikTok if I was interested in investing. I told her yes but I was skeptical. She assured me she worked for a legitimate company. I trusted her and proceeded with a $500 investment through bitcoin to an account with Pro Elite Trades. I was told after 24 hours I could withdrawal my profit. I had to pay 30% fee of $2150 then it would be deposited in my bank account in 24 hours. After 24 hours I received an email that I had to pay a “gas fee” of $4250. At this point I knew it was a scam and questioned it. She still tried to say it wasn’t but would not refund my initial investment. So I decided to report them. Hoping this won’t happen to anyone else. If there is any way to get my money back on this please let me know. Thank you.
