Description

I was contact by a male through the Upwards Dating app: Antonio Bruno contact 281-638-8557 email [email protected], whom introduced himself as a bitcoin miner. He then advised on the Tradefxmaster investment. Funds were transferred over to him in early December and were then returned to the account that I had setup (account information can be provided if requested). Excess fees were paid to Tradefxmaster for the withdrawal and each time I was told that there was an additional fees, thus at the end the I declined to pay the added fees (which had already been paid as agreed--as noted on their support chat). In turn, Antonio Bruno insisted that I pay such fees, I reminded him of the fee had been paid already--he stated it was a market issue with bitcoin and to just pay them. I ended the conversation stating no to both parties.
