Hi, On the weekend 3/5, I reached out to a recent lottery winner (Becky Bell) on Facebook. I explained my situation and she agreed to send me $70k. I couldn’t believe it. I then was directed to go to a site to set up an account so she could send me the money. It was called HP options trading or something like that. In order to initiate your account, you have to deposit $300-$500 in Bitcoin. So, Becky generated my QR code and told me to go to the nearest Bitcoin ATM and deposit the money. She told me to put in $500 but I only did $360. I later got home and she sent me $70k which showed up in my account. I then tried to withdraw the money to my bank account and had trouble. I started a live chat on their website and the agent named Shalom generated yet another QR code to go back to the Bitcoin ATM to deposit $2000 as a fee for withdrawal money from my account. I said I can’t do that. Becky Bell then offered to help me with $1000 if I could do $1000, so I did, on MoonPay. But, then, Becky wouldn’t follow through with her word to help me with the rest. I have reported this to my local police, as well as to a couple other places. I also looked up the IP address for the HP address. This is a scam.
