She texted me as if I was her friend, then she apologized and said she’s coming to Portland and is looking for her friend. She said she wanted to make friends with me and take me out for dinner when she comes in town. Over time she talked about making money doing crypto mining. She gained my trust and kept showing me love, we started dating on the phone through telegram and shared private photos, she started saying that she loved me. After emotionally bound, she then started asking me to invest money. I thought it was all real. She even transferred money from her crypto app to my crypto app. I thought it was real, I ended up falling in love with her kindness and her help in making me money that was so easy to do.
