It started with my friends Instagram account, he had posted something about a woman helping him get money via crypto. My friend is big into investments and crypto, so I thought this was actually him talking. He posted this persons Instagram account and said to contact them if interested! I asked him is this legit or is this fake, it seems too good to be true. That should have been my first hint in regards to all of this, but he kept responding saying yes it was real and she was 100% trustworthy. So I went ahead and messaged this person and they asked me to send money via another app and I delivered the money I purchased on that app, through a link that they sent me and had me copy and paste into the send option. Then they said, that this money would go into my, "investment account" under the metro capital investments website. I saw the $1000 that I had initially sent on there, but I never saw the other $4200 post. At this point I was worried and then when they asked me to send more money the 3rd time in order for me to be able to withdraw my earnings, I realized I had been scammed. I asked for my money back, I tried to withdraw the money from the online account and nothing worked unfortunately. I am a mother of an 8 month old, we just moved and I guess I had faith that I could make some money in this situation and kind of recoup some of the money I've been spending with everything going on in my life. I unfortunately and stupidly for the first time, fell into this trap. Everything seemed so real, my friend responding to me, the website itself. However, it was all a lie. I feel violated and I'm just plain and simply sad that I have lost that money. I am hoping that my bank will be able to reverse charges and put that money back into my account, but this should not happen to ANYBODY else and people should be made aware of anybody trying to get them to invest money onto that website.
