I saw of my instagram friends post about "Coach Jessica" on her story and it was later shared on Jessica's profile (@invest_with_jessica51998). Jessica later introduced herself to me as an expert bitcoin miner, and after a brief conversation, she asked if I would like to invest with her. She guaranteed returns of $17000 per $1000 invested, and I committed for $2000. Everything had to paid via bitcoin, so I paid $2000 in bitcoin to her company's wallet address: bc1qxftawqs86gwkpv87yafcerqr7qepsgjnsu83hf.
Later that night, she apologized saying that she accidentally put me in a $3000 account and there was no way of fixing it, so I had to pay an additional $1000 in order to get my funds, but now I would also get a higher return, up to $51000. In a matter of 3 hours, the mining process was supposedly done and I could withdraw my profits. When I went to withdraw, the first website (fxlegaltradecoins.com) required a withdrawal pin fee of $4500. I was skeptical, but I had already committed $3000 and was afraid of missing out, especially when she emphasized that I was so close to withdrawing. Once I got the PIN, she promised that the same funds would be invested and more than double my returns in addition, now up to $119000.
Over the weekend, I was able to pull together the $4500, reached out to her to confirm that I would receive the PIN in order to withdraw the funds, and she said yes. As soon as I sent the money, she proceeded to inform me that the first website had been hacked and under investigation, so we had to register on a new website (http://expertmegaltrades.com). On this website, she gave me the instructions on how to proceed with a withdrawal. When I went to withdraw my funds, the website said that I had to upgrade my account before withdrawing, and it would cost an additional $10000.
At this point, I refused to give any more money because my suspicion had unfortunately been true. She has been trying to convince me of sending her the money by telling me that I will thank her, be happy and successful, and even that I am an honorable man. I have asked several times for my money back, but she continues to give the same excuses about success and that I need to do this in order to be happy.
