Description

The scammer contacted me through the Whatsapp, presenting an opportunity to invest in bitcoin in March 2021. Recently I have been pressured to withdraw the money out of my bitcoin account, which was the amount of $18,425. At one point I needed to pay a $500 fee to withdraw. I didn't have the money at the time, so the money stayed in my bitcoin account. Then I contacted the support team and was told to hurry and withdraw the money because the crypto currency will be going down. Still not having the $500. According to the support team the withdrawal balance went down to a little over $13,370. Now the new withdrawal fee was $210. I managed to pay a fee of $220. Still no withdrawal happened, the reason that was given was my account was frozen due to inactivity. To unfreeze the account I was told to pay a fee of $130. I didn't have the total amount of $130, so I payed a fee of $101. They still was saying that they needed a total amount of $130 to unfreeze the account. I realized something was not right and decided to report them.
