Description

I was contacted by a wrong number, which when responded to struct up a conversation and asked to be friends and remain in contact. "She" claimed her name was Lousie Smith and that she lived in New York, owned a fashion and tile company, and that her tiktok was @louise7745. After which, "she" brought up cryptocurrency and offered to teach me. She encouraged me to deposit my life savings into the site, okolx.com. The site asked for my state ID number to "verify" my account to use the service. With the money I deposited, I earned an abnormally high amount of money and was told I had to pay an $8,000 "tax fee" to withdraw my earnings. When I confronted her and the platform's customer service, I got no further responses.
