It started off with me reaching out to a lady I follow, @Tru_Jamaican,on TikTok because of her post about a work from home (WFH) job. I’d recently lost my job and wanted to find work asap to continue my cash flow. Scrolling thru the comments I kept seeing her tell others to DM her via Telegram for more info; so that’s what I did. She sent me screenshots of customers [I guess] she helped before, then a list of investments prices and their profit value. Everything seemed legit so I was sold; she’d be what is referred to as my account manager. She asked which start up I was interested in and I chose the lowest option, $50 just as like trial run to see if it was legit. I was provided a link to click on to create an account and do my start up investment. She had me send her screenshots throughout the process as a guide on what steps to take next. After my $50 deposit went thru, I had to provide customer support with the screenshot. Then I was told I needed to deposit an additional $100 because the current market minimum was $150 to start a trade. So I did. I was guaranteed a profit up to $3600 in 24 hours by my account manager and customer support. Within the next 24 hours I watched my profit increase by the hours and once it reached 3600, I asked (@Tru_Jamaican) to guide me through the withdrawal process. She asked did I receive an email from the company, which I did stating I was able to claim my profit. The email mentioned having to deposit 10% of the profit ($360) in order to “activate” the withdrawal process, which seemed sketchy to me. I thought ‘Why do I have to pay more money to withdraw money I supposed earned?’ When I told both of them I didn’t have anymore money, they insisted I needed to get the money and act fast for fear of a crash. I expressed my concern and I was reassured “I’m in good hands and I just need to trust the process.” At this point, I for sure felt I had been scammed so I refused to deposit more money and let customer support and my account manager know.
