Description

Original i accepted what I believed to be an on-line part-time job doing reviews for various companies. Everything was fine until I hit a negative and was asked to deposit $9.89 which i did from what I had earned, As time went on the amounts became greater but I could make the payments. You were allowed to withdraw you pay everyday. Also the company seem like a real company. So I was not concerned. I kept working and earning bonuses every thing seem OK. Eventually I started hitting lucky bonuses. Then I hit a huge bonus and my CS helped me to make. a successful $1,000. Withdrwal. The sequence of withdrwals was supposed to be $1000, test Another $1,000 then $200,000 the $796852. bonus, Unfortuately I made an error in making the transaction and was yeleld and told that I had messed up the merchants system and in order to fix it I would need to transfer $100,000 into the account in order to fix the system, So I did. After that the money was supposedly transferred to my onchain-Coinbase account. Having no knowgled of Coinbase I believe them when I was told that I did not have enough transaction history for such large sums of money to be transferred. Then I was told that I would need to https://complaint.ic3.gov *** ********* **** ** ********* ********* * Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) deposit $210,000 to meet the verification. That is when I deposited the balance of the money. The trainer (katy Bryant) also deposited $50,000 to meet the verification. The verification never went through. I then ask for my funds back. I was told that it is a system and my funds are there and will be released as soon as I send them another $70,000 to complete the verification. At this point I have lost all my savings and money that I borrowed from Friends and family. My concern for filing this complaint is that no one else gets into this situation. I honestly believe that I was working for a real company. I receive email from PITCHBOOK every day and the lines of communication are still open with the CS.
