Description
Contacted via text, then requested to move chat try o WhatsApp. Claimed to want to teach about crypto trading I was provided a website Continuously requesting additional money to invest, then began pressuring me to take loans out to invest. Spent lots of time trying me how to trade, but always a reason I couldn’t withdraw funds. Claimed to need a friend wanting to help me improve my financial situation. After 3 months, I received an email requesting a tax payment of more than 30k. But it had to be paid upfront, not from earnings on the “account” . I was conned into providing this payment in cash , they playing on my emotions and distress. After a couple weeks I received another email requesting an additional 10k in “channel upgrade fees”. The original website was no longer working and i was given a new website. I ceased contact at this point , but continue to receive emails requesting payment
