Crypto/Investment Scam
When you write it comes from the heart. By the end of the second week I dismissed her and accused her of being a scammer and wanting to rub me and other Americans of their hard earned money. She replied, saying I was falsely accusing her and making her feel bad. "I think you are a gentleman and likes speaking to you ".
We resumed our daily WhatsApp messages which led to her asking whether I wanted to open a crypto currency trading account trading bitcoin. Her uncle is part of a trading group and analysts who analyzies bitcoin and gives her trading nodes which enables her to trade successfully. It sounded impressive which prompted me to agree to opening a crypto currency trading account. She sent me the website www.p2bdex.com and guided me through the process of opening an account. Following the submission and approval of the application to start an account I made an initial investment of $1K which was paid through my cash app account. All our communication was done through WhatsApp messages and screenshots.
I had to follow her directives and instructions by an exchange of screenshot messages. By the end of July, we had made significant progress and profits. So much so that my investments had grown to $4K. A few times I got annoyed by her insistence that I should add more money to the account which in my opinion hinged on fraud. In September the account had reached over $10K and she advised me to try bringing the account to $20K which would enable me to generate a 35% profit on the investment. I didn't have the money and made my position clear. During the first week of October she advised me to take out a loan fo $5K from the trading company which would push the account over $20K. I contacted customer service of the trading company p2bdex.com for a $5K loan. On October 9, 2024 the loan was approved and to be paid back in 30 days with a 10% interest. Failure to repay the loan within the 30 day period would incurr a 5% interest on the daily balance.
With over $20K in the account we began trading and receiving reguler trading nodes with increased profits. As the deadline to repay the loan I consulted her on a payment plan. She advised me to withdraw the equivalent of the loan amount to repay the loan. That is when I discovered that the loan has to be repaired with external funds and not from profits generated from trading. I was scammed but to deep to stop. I managed to raise the necessary funds and paid off the loan. By then the account had ballooned to over $570 aided by the election results and the reelection of President Donald Trump.
I had my doubts and wanted to verify whether I was being scammed and at the same time excited about the possibilities. She encouraged me to believe in the process and trust the opportunities that now possibilities. We discussed making a first withdrawal. I told her I wanted to make a withdrawal and would need her help in doing so. I began the process and soon run into difficulties and had to request her assistance. We went through the process exchanging texts and screenshots until we made a submission. That was on November 21, 2024. Based on the customer service the funds should be in my cash app account within 24 hours following verify of my request.
The next day I received an email informing me that the withdrawal had been put on hold until I pair 10% of the withdrawal amount as fees for an upgrade of the account. The withdrawal amount is unusually high and had triggered an alert and needed to upgrade the account to a " large-value channel upgrade to secure the safety of the funds. The required upgrade would have to be done within 15 business days. And failure to do so would result in an additional 5% interest on the daily balance. She initiated a $10K payment towards the fees for the large-value channel upgrade and I have to pay the balance. This is outside of usual wire withdrawal norms and processes. I have consulted many banking institutions and persons involved in such transactions and the general consensus is that this trading company has scam written all over it.
They are insisting that I pay this one time fee for the large-value channel upgrade and that my account will be upgraded to VIP meaning that future withdrawals will be done with no difficulty. I suggested that the requested fee be discounted from the amount being withdrawn and the balance paid to me. They are adamant that the fees be paid with external funds and immediately thereafter the transaction will be completed.
I think I am being scammed. Meanwhile, numerous attempts to have my friend who introduced me to crypto currency trading/p2bdex.com pay the balance of the fees to facilitate the release of my money had been very defensive. She is adamant that I should raise the required money by borrowing from family, friends, banks and other lending institutions.
I want to determine whether I have been scammed, get my investment capital back and if a tall possible get the full amount in the account which stands at about $570 + depending on the value of bitcoin.
I am still intouch with my friend and p2bdex.com if you need immediate contact information. In fact, since raising my misgivings and doubts about the legitimacy of the trading company my friend has made numerous threats including sueung me for monies she paid on my behalf and ensuring I spend the rest of my life in jail.
