Consumer Narrative
The end of XXXX this year I was contacted by someone who said they were from XXXX and had a crypto deal were I could invest {$100.00} and get {$500.00} in return. When I sent the money they said that package was no longer available and I needed a package of {$500.00}. After that was sent I was told in needed to send a withdraw fee. Every time I sent money they had a different reason of why my account was frozen and I needed to send more money. I had access to my account and could see my deposit and what it was worth. After sending over {$11000.00}, and still more reasons why I needed to send more, I stopped sending.
