Astonishing story, a well-crafted scam He (or) she contacts me via social networks, we will learn at the end of this misadventure that there are obviously 2 people fake profiles

This person (He (or) she) tells me that she lives in France, with her Uncle and her aunt. From the outset, I was told not to ask questions about his uncle's job because he is the head of a trading room for very rich people in Paris

Every morning, she goes to the gym and does her YOGA sessions and tells me she runs a beauty center in Bangkok and every evening, she manages the center remotely by video conference, she manages 200 people! ! why not

I specify at this time that I had invested a few thousand euros in the past and saw everything lost, several days pass and I receive a new message from (He (or) she) to tell me that with his method we can earn a lot of money up to 10% of the invested value

Ok, I try with an amount of €500 and I wait for (He (or) she) to contact me by text and give me his instructions, they will always be the same instructions until I feel the trap

Effectively, it works, when the transaction node is announced, on a specific day at a specific time, I follow the advice via screenshots and I make a real gain of 10% and the days follow one another for finally invest €18,635 and earn my rewards of €12,925

But in the meantime, (He (or) she) tells me that I can earn more by reserving my place for a starting account at €50,000 (accepted by support - screenshot available) and receive a gain of 20% at each transaction node up to €120,000

I ask to do a withdrawal test on 2x100€ it works, but when I want to do a test on 10,000 USDT, the system blocks and tells me that I am entitled to 3 attempts which need first put down €50,000 to be able to withdraw money, good joke, you will never get your money back

I send a text message to (He (or) she) explaining the situation, (He (or) she) tells me that she or he can lend me $10,000 to help me get through the cap. I refused and felt the trap closing in on me. I sold some assets to invest this amount of money

I denounce this gang of scammers and request reimbursement of €18,635 + €12,925 = €31,560 from the company crypto.com

(He (or) she) - Mobile No. 1 = +66 61 902 1049 (Thailand) - Chalida = 699 screenshots available

(He (or) she) intervenes when I realize the trap set - Mobile N°2 = +66 62 724 8221 (Thailand) - Chalida Bis = 13 screenshots available
