Description

A close friend of mine contacted me on Instagram and told me a close friend of his did crypto mining. I spoke with her also on Instagram and she seems to I know what she was talking about and I felt I could trust her. (Taylor Williams) she asked me how much I could invest and that I would see a large some to withdrawal within 3 hours. So I did and I waited and before I new it I had $10,500 waiting for me to withdrawal. When I went to withdrawal the money I was told I need to purchase a “pin” for $1500. Once I purchased the pin I would receive my withdrawal. So I gathered all the money I had saved to make the purchase. Once I sent the money and received the pin i requested the withdrawal again and I was told I had too much profit and need to upgrade my account. At this point my profit was at $29,500 so I messaged the company asking what the issue was and I received the message below. I did unfortunately send them another $2300 to “upgrade my account”. Once I did I was told I need to send another $4500 or $2200 to upgrade my account to withdrawal a sum that large. I was scammed because I fell for the friend of a friend.
