Description

I met a person through Facebook online dating assuming she was a legit person. (She went by the name, Gabby Stephanny Chloe.) Then we started chatting through Instagram upon her request to continue getting to know each other. But something that went off was when she introduced me to option trading, stating how much she can make through there. Originally thought it was legit where I deposited a lot of money to make investment. We kept communicating upon withdrawal, there was a large fee I had to pay where I had to pay externally. Because I couldn't pay it, the site (szinca.com) threatened to put my funds on hold and freeze my account if I don't pay for it. Until I found the person that introduced me to the trade were both scams I fell for. Due to this, I have reached out to an agency where they are now investigating the matter, but wanted to file reports to keep everyone on the lookout. I hope for resolution, but staying away from their tactics is not as easy as it seems.
