Consumer Narrative
I engaged with an XXXX account that I believed could help me make money off of cryptocurrency. The XXXX account was @ XXXX. We engaged in a conversation and I set up an initial investment of {$1000.00} with her. I used zelle, through my XXXX checking account to send the initial transaction of XX/XX/XXXX to the email of XXXX, name on the account XXXX XXXX. The {$1000.00} investment was then sent to a account called XXXX. I saw the money grow very quickly and then proceeded to make 2 more transactions, a {$1000.00} each to XXXX. I then got a message saying that I needed to send another {$2000.00} to retrieve the money that I had gained. I also got an email from the XXXX about this. So sent the money thru Zelle once again. I then realized this was a scam and wasn't going to get my money back. I filed a police report with the XXXX XXXX Sherrifs department and an investigation report with XXXX bank. XXXX bank did their investigation and didn't find it valid.
