Description

Applied for a "stock market bot" online via YouTube link based on a fake endorsement ad form Kevin O'Leary. Received a call and applied with the agent and paid for the product via visa debit at www.jexoro.com. Contacted by an "investment agent" to open my account with Master Edge Trust trading-masteredgetrust.com/trading/ from the company masteredgetrust.com. Front and back of drivers license used. I was emailed a zoom link from the "Senior Strategy and Development Analyst where I was walked through the process of qualifying for the trading page, using the and scanning my face in a rotation. Once my account was made, agent explained to purchase gold, currency and bitcoin over the span of weeks using this same method of calling and emailing a zoom of time was spent cultivating excitement and urgency although I was feeling uncomfortable in my gut, showing me the "profits" online, and gaining my trust. They pressured me to take out a loan assuring that the money would be paid back in a matter of weeks. I was contacted by a second person "Senior Manager" and told I needed to give them $3000 US to receive the bot. I was walked through the setting up an account with NDAX. Pressured to transfer more money from my bank account to "Senior Strategy and Development Analyst" wallet and later the "Senior Account Manager"'s which was emailed. Then I deposited into a wallet that is not mine they assigned their wallet to the "trading page" for deposits. I unknowingly gave $3223.00 to these scammers. I was contacted with random numbers each time, the last time was to speak with the Senior Account Manager shown how to use the "bot". No one reached out since then via phone call or email. The emotional and financial damage done is devastating. I managed to track some of the bitcoin transaction from was conned into sending them. I can only imagine how many people are being conned daily.
