Description

I am suspecting that I have been in a Pig Butchering/Romance scam. I met a guy through Hinge and he suggested lets chat on WhatsApp. When he gained my trust, he introduced me to crypto investing by downloading the Kraken Pro app, Coinbase Wallet app, Coinmetro (https://d.coinmetrodgk.top) and Ibanera.com (crypto bank). Was directed to transfer money to the above accounts that I created under my name and then it was transferred multiple times to the various Apps above until it reached Coinmetro (https://d.coinmetrodgk.top). From there the investments took place. Initially, the first withdrawal they allowed me to withdraw it with the fees being deducted from the amount. When trying to withdraw the money from the CoinMetro account the second time, Customer Service told me that I need to pay 35% profits tax upfront to them and the trading platform will pay 2% tax on my behalf. If I failed to pay any taxes within the time limit, my credit will be affected and there will be an additional 1% late fee for each day past the deadline. The system will deduct 1% of my account assets for late fee.
