Description

This individual kept in contact with me for years acting like he wanted to buy a home in Rhode Island, where I am a realtor...then began discussing investments and crypto. He had me transfer my bitcoin to a few different apps and told me when Bank of America asks if any of my wires are fraud (if someone told me to say no, I agree with this transfer, etc.) to act like I was doing this all on my own. I kept asking to cash out some of the funds as I needed them for my closing (purchasing a home myself) and then the person ghosted me.
