Description

MET SCAMMER OFF TIKTOK HIS NAME WAS CHRIS(MAYBE). HE USED THE FAMOS CRYPTO TRADER VIRTUAL BACON WHO I FOLLOWED, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS VIRTUAL BACON, BUT FOUND OUT WAY LATER IT WASN'T. I was new to tiktok and really didn't undrstand how it worked yet. I was looking to connect with people to learn trade and investing of crypto and stock. Well after we got to texting on tik tok, we exchanged numbers on whatsapp, and exchanged info, then he lead me to the CRAVA.TRADE website, and showed me how to setup an account and purchase diffrent crypto, commodities, and stocks. Plus he was the account manager and everything was going well. For the month of December we even set the goal for 5,000 to 10,000, but made 13,000 I was excited and motivated, and constantly putting money in crypto to improve the earnings. Then we got to the end of the month to close out, and make withdrawal. My account manager got sick, and I had to interact with crava.trade directly through their chat, but they was telling me I had to come up with additional funds before I could withdraw my winnings. they said I had to pay 7% taxes and 10% for the account manager fee, and I was pissed thinking they could just take it out from the winnings, but they wouldnt, and for some reason I couldnt withdraw the money out of their account, so I eventually borrowed the money from family thinking if I pay I would be able to pay everyone back, but circumstance after circumstance they kept coming up with ways not to give me my money, so then I demanded a supervisor, and we spoke and texted off of whatsapp wgich I thought was unique and strange, and I reached out to the account manager Chris that I met off tiktok, and he apologized that hebeen out sick, and he was going to fix everything, and in one day back said he figured out what was wrong, and I finally seen my money disappear from my account saying successfully withdrawn, but I never recieved anything.Chris says that its because I dont have some IBCP, and I said *** is that, and he said it cost around 1900 to buy and then funds get relased about 3 to 5 business days, so I was really ****** and then he told me that my earnings gained value to 38,00 because bitcoin went from 15,000 to 23,000 per share, and I was excited, but he said that I just neeed to get the IBCP and I would recieve the transaction, but even after borrowing money and paying money to get money never came, and then I recieved a check in next day air, and Chris said that he had his friend send it, and texted me a tracking number from UPS. and the check came and it was for 9,400.00, and I deposited the check and I was excited but the next day the check proved fraud , and my bank ceased my whole account right before payday It was a horrible experiec lights, water, car note, credit cards, and cell phones cut off because of this scam.
