Description
I met this guy called Leonardo James on Tinder. We had a conversation offline via WhatsApp, and then we communicated regularly with me, and we established a relationship. Once He has my trust, he proposes an investment opportunity related to gold investments. James offers to train me to set up an account on dcmmarkets.com. I also opened an account in Coinbase and a wallet. I transfer funds to participate in the investment opportunity. The fraudulent platform investment opportunity is often designed to appear legitimate and usually produces artificial gains to keep me engaged in the platform, and I started depositing more funds. However, when I felt he was pushy for more funds, he offered to deposit 30,000.00 and added it to my account in the OTC. That is why I believed him, but I told him to stop when he asked for more. I wanted my money back and could never withdraw my funds from the site. The customer service said I had to deposit 20% more to a different account for hefty fees. Before withdrawing my funds, he asked me about his money and threatened to sue me.
