Description

I was notified there was a problem with my bank and I was asked to help them solve the problema and identify the person involved in my bank. I was told to go to the bank and withdraw funds and take them to a Bit Coin machine. The money would be incripted and allow the people that initated the scam to locate the person in the bank what was dishonest. They said they would use bank funds to make this happen. They had already got into my account and transferred the money from my savings to checking. When I asked the bank for the $4500 they gave it to me. I knew that I didn't have that much money in checking so I thought that what they were telling me was true. I with drew the money and took it to the Bit Coin machine that I was told to. I realized there was something wrong and immediately called Bit Coin. They were able to see where I had deposited the money and prevented it from being transfered to the scammers. I was told be Bit Coin that it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get the money back and that they would keep 10%. I wonder if Bit Coin is in on the scam. Ihave not received any money back. The date of the scam was April 3rd 2023.
