Description
I matched with an individual, Louis Sebas, on bumble. After about a month, he informed me of a trading website and provided a link (Tickmill Global - impersonated website of real company’s website). He convinced me to deposit money to this platform (he did as well). The platform involves gold and crypto short-term trades. Initially you are able to withdrawal small amounts of money. The scam is that when you go to withdrawal all your funds (or a large amount) they require you to pay the tax amount on the entire profit before allowing you to pull out any money. The taxes to be paid is a to a crypto wallet.
