I met someone online and was showing me how to trade with cryptocurrency , on the Defion.co website I transferred small amounts at first and made some money , then I transferred larger amounts from my 401K , After making some large amounts of money I started to withdraw some to put away for taxes , I made 1 withdrawal and then they froze my account and told me I need to pay them 22% for taxes and they will report it to the IRS and unlock my account , they wouldn't let me use the funds in the account, they have no phone # nobody responds to emails , the chat line just keeps repeating the same thing that I have to pay taxes The way I funded the account was I wired money from my bank account to a coinbase account , then from there transferred it in crypto USDT to a wallet in the Defion.co website , they set me up with a wallet to pay the taxes it may be traceable I am still in contact with the woman that was showing me how to trade , she is acting like there is nothing wrong and tells me to pay the taxes this sounds like a SCAM I have most of the texts recorded from the crypto woman and the chat line on the Defion website I havent been able to find any owners of the website or any phone #s Not even sure of the womans real name and address in Los Angeles not sure what to do next
