Description

Scammer hacked a social media (instagram) associates account that I knew personally and began posting what looked like official profits gained from bitcoin mining. Ended up getting scammed out major money after being told by a supposed crypto investor for a broker company she apparently worked for. I was told I could withdrawal my profits from bitcoin after having deposited via Cashapp and bitcoin atms, but after several fees were introduced to me one at a time. I’d asked about any other additional fees, but the more that I deposited into the fake account on an illegitimate website to which required my personal info the more fees came up out of the blue to withdrawal money. It was money for a “withdraw approval” “pin fee” “reflection fee”. This investor claimed themselves to be a mentor to trading, but did not once actually show or teach me how to trade, just kept urging for me to deposit more money to the bitcoin atms.
