Description
Tedrick Derosin approached me via several social media platforms—Instagram, Telegram, and TikTok—repeatedly urging me to invest in his company through the website macmartsimple.com. He guaranteed a profit within seven days, without delays. After persistent pressure, I decided to make a payment in Bitcoin. Things quickly deteriorated, as Derosin began pushing me to invest more, with promises of a $20,000 payout. At one point, my account displayed a completed process with a withdrawal amount of $18,100. However, I soon received an email claiming that I needed to pay $515 to access the funds. The email seemed suspicious, poorly written, and unprofessional. Whenever I asked Derosin about the withdrawal, he gave inconsistent and evasive responses. I eventually figured out how to attempt a withdrawal for $10,000, and I received another email—this time more polished—promising that the funds would be deposited in my PayPal account within 24-72 hours. However, after several days passed, no money was deposited. I have saved all communications on Telegram and TikTok for my records, but now Derosin has stopped responding entirely. It has become clear that this was a fraudulent investment scheme and a complete scam.
