I met a woman named Caitlin through Facebook dating site. We hit it off right away she asked me to add WhatsApp and we would chat there. She said she was from Los Angeles and was up her for the next year on a work visa to help get some cosmetics stores going. After a couple days I told her I had recently sold my house and was thinking of investing in Bitcoin or something like that to make some extra money. She said she could help me with this as she was already doing this with Ethereum. She paid for my miners license and got me set up. I invested a few thousand dollars at first to see if it would make me some money. In the mean time she said she had to go to Vancouver for business and we would meet when she returned in a few weeks. The market started to fall and she said she was going to take her money out and invest it with OKCoin as her friend was going to help her make a lot of money there. She encouraged me to do the same. I did as she suggested and moved my money to OKCoin and started making money right away. After every time I made money she would encourage me to invest more so I could get in on the higher return deals. I did as she suggested and was making huge amounts of money every time. I had invested almost everything I had saved and she said I needed to invest as much as I could to get in on this huge deal where I would make $200,000 and she would pay the rest for me. I borrowed 27,000 from my line of credit and invested this and she paid the rest. The deal went through and I made the money. I told her I needed to take some money out to pay my line of credit and for christmas, my grand daughters braces and by myself a new vehicle. She said she was coming home on December 6th and would help me do it when she had a chance. I was all excited to finally get to be with her. I texted her on Monday the 6th and asked if I could go and see her, she said she wanted to have a couple days of quiet time to relax and get a bunch of stuff done first and would meet me on Wednesday. She sent me a GPS location of her house she was renting. I asked her on Tuesday to help me with the withdraw to my bank account. She walked me through the process and the money never transferred. I checked my email and there was a bill there that I have attached for you to review. I contacted OKCoin and asked them to take the tax money from my account and then complete the withdrawal for me. They informed me that they had seized my account and I can not pay my taxes from the money I have with them. I have to pay the taxes from an outside coin based wallet. I explained to them that I do have a coin based wallet but I removed all the funds and invested it with them. They said this was not their problem but if I paid 40% of the tax bill they could extend it for another week. I told Caitlin this and sent her a screenshot of the bill. She said she would take care of it by removing the funds from her account, she said her account was frozen as well as soon as she tried to withdraw some money. Now we are both freaking out as we don't have the money to pay these tax bills. She said she would contact some friends to see if she could borrow the money to help me pay my taxes so we could access my money and then pay her bill so she could get her money. I told her I still had $25,000 I could cash in from my GIC and would go to the bank and transfer it into my account. On the way over to the bank I had that feeling that something was not right here and I am getting scammed. I took out the money and paid it on my line of credit which brought it down to a little over $2000 still owing. I texted her after I was done in the bank and told her I was on my way over to see her. I went to the address she had given me and there was no one there named Caitlin and they had lived there for the last 35 years. I pretty much new then that I had been scammed somehow but did not say anything to Caitlin as I wanted to gather as much evidence as possible to maybe help me somehow. When I got home I told her that I had put the money on my line of credit and she got very mad at me telling me that I had to pay my share or she would not help me. I told her that I think the site is a scam and I was not willing to risk loosing any more money, I explained to her that her and her friend got me in this mess and should take care of it and I would pay them back once it was cleared. She called me a coward for not wanting to contribute my 25,000 and said she did not want to be with me anymore. She kept at me all day on Tuesday to use my money. She has contacted me a few times since to try and convince me but I explained to her again that if I had some way to verify that this was not a scam I would gladly pay this as I have $699,000 US in OKCoin and could pay everything off after I get my money from them. Her last conversation with me last night she said she was going back to Los Angeles to borrow some money to pay her taxes and would pay $40,000 for me to extend my time to pay the taxes. I told her it was a waste of time as I do not have the other $55000 to pay the rest.

Do you have any way to check on this company to see if it is a scam or legit?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!
