Description

I was approached on WhatsApp by a girl and we were talking for about 2-3 months. She asked me if I ever invested in crypto and I said alittle bit and she was telling me about this crypto Onchain that she does. She said she gets 2-6% compounded interest daily. I invested $1,500 at first. Then she said that if I ever get a chance to deposit more money in my account that I would be getting between $900-$1000 a day if I deposited $25,000. The name she was using is.Shino Leiu. When I deposited the $25,000 a box came down that I received a reward. If I bring my account up to $62,000 that my reward would be $175,000 for 78 Ethereum and she was so happy for me, but I didn’t have the required money to deposit and she said she could help me with $5000 and I said I still don’t have enough money to do that. This was all taking place on crypto Onchain. Then she told me that she could give me up to $20,000 and I told her I still didn’t have enough to collect my reward.. While the reward was going on, I wasn’t collecting any percentage towards the money I had in the account so I asked her about it and she said you won’t collect any until the week is up. After my week was up I was still unable to collect any percentage on my money. I called customer service and asked them about it and they said that they’re gonna hold my money for a year and I won’t be able to collect any interest. I then went to Crypto.com and asked them about it, and I said I would like to withdraw my money from the Onchain because it wasn’t letting me. They went in to my Onchain account and said that I don’t have any money in there, so I sent them a screenshot where it said I had a little over $27,000 and they told me that it was withdrawn and I said how can it be withdrawn I didn’t withdraw it. I asked them if they were going to get me my money back and they said that I went through a third-party and they took your money. I said how can they get into my wallet when they don’t have my wallet address that I have facial recognition and my 12 words to protect my account and they said I’m sorry, but you don’t have any money in your account and we can’t do anything to help you because you used a third-party
