Description

The scammer pretended to be leaving for Egypt to do mining of gold for customers upon our initial contact. 'She' suddenly ran into a snag in Egypt and needed $700 and convinced me wire it to a third party because they needed to be paid by Bitcoin. Three (3) days later they needed an additional $3,050 for another issue. Once again, I wired the money to a 3rd party. A third unsuccessful attempt was made to try to get me to send an additional $3,850 with the promise I would be repaid $10,000 to include interest for helping them when they returned home from Egypt. The money has not been returned. The phone number goes unanswered and the address given was bogus. I have since found that the pictures that were sent to me were stolen from an Instagram account of a Doctor in Egypt.
