Description
man posing as Harry Styles which he of course was not. He kept asking me to buy cards for him, which I could not do. explained i didn't have any money , I explained I was elderly on a limited fixed income. He said he was going to teach me how to buy and invest in bitcoin. I started investing, he was also having other people send me bitcoin that he had me send to him. I told him I didn't want to d that so he stopped and CashApp closed my account. Then he had me using Coinbase. When I had invested $10,000.00 the investment was at $199,000 so I tried to withdraw the money to pay off credit debt and most of what I owed on my house. The website had the transaction pending for five days. So I used the chat feature on the home page to ask about the withdrawal. I was told I had to complete the $20,000 investment before I could make a withdrawal. When I had completed the $20,000 I again tried to withdraw the money, but I was told on another chat that I had to pay a 10% investment fee to withdraw the $219,000+. I didn't have access to $21,000 to pay the fee. Now its at $529,700+I fear the $20,000 paid is long gone and the investment account is not real.. Can you please help me?
