I matched with someone on the dating app “Hinge” in December of 2021.
That person goes by the name Anna Liu. She convinced me to deposit Bitcoin from my Coinbase into a platform called “Coingaot” (www.coingaot.vip)
She convinced me to deposit $5,000 worth of BTC into my new account registered on the Coingaot platform. She would match my deposit, then use our combined assets to trade and make a profit.
Once she made about $3,000 in profit, she told me I can withdraw all of the assets.
I attempted to withdraw from the platform to my Coinbase wallet. When I did, a freeze was put on my withdrawal until I deposited enough money to make a minimum of $30K in order to apply for “VIP2”
I was told that I could withdraw the money then. But then after depositing another $12,000 and moving to VIP2, I was told that I would have to deposit another $8,000 because $8000 was deposited from a different wallet address (Anna’s BTC Address)
More problems came about. They told me that I could no longer withdraw my funds and that I needed to make up $100,000 in order to apply for a check to be mailed to me, now for identity security reasons.
Once we deposited enough money to make up $100K, they took my address and name and told me a check would be sent out. A check never arrived at my address, and I was then ghosted by the platform’s customer service and the original person “Anna Liu”
Altogether I’ve lost over $50,000 to this scam.
