Description

An individual who has hijacked someone's Facebook page pretends to be a friend of a friends simply by looking up other friends connected to the hijacked account and coaches them on how to invest in crypto on a platform and shows pictures of the people that are making money already on the platform. People buy into it because they see that they're friends are friends with this person and so they put their guard down and begin to trust. Once on the platform you're walked through how to invest in a trial where there is no risk involved and after 30 days of mining Bitcoin you're told you can decide to reinvest or simply withdraw the money you've invested and the money you've made off of mining. But what really happens is at the end of the 30 days they inform you the only way to withdraw your investment or any money that you've supposedly made. You have to invest more and they will try to convince you that you knew the terms and conditions ahead of time which will have never been presented until after the investment has been made. But even went as far as sending me an email saying that my contract had been completed and money could be withdrawn. But whenever you ask for directions on how to withdraw the money, you're told that you must invest more money before you can withdraw anything! It's a total scam and the website is www.simartpro.com and the Facebook account that I personally was dealing with was going by the name of Mike Diddy. This imposter made the mistake of sending me a voice message and he clearly has a strong accent clearly not the person in the profile picture on Facebook which was clearly a red flag! I wasn't about to invest any more money but I'm now out $1,000 and just don't want anyone else to fall for this scam!!
