Type of a scam Investment
I met someone named Olivia Paige on Instagram. I don’t believe this was her main approach to scam, but it was one of her methods. She has her own website and she represented a company called Nexus Mining Pool. In the course of a few months of talking. Her Instagram kept getting "hacked". I think that she was making new accounts running away from scamming. I was invited into this mining pool group on the Hangouts app. There were about twenty people in the group, I believe some of them were fake. They were chatting in the group to make it look real. Olivia sent me about $230 dollars worth of bitcoin to my account as a reward for helping her. I helped her create cash app accounts as a friend and I guess that was her method of luring me in. Then she told me the minimum about was $500 to invest into bitcoin mining. Trusting her I paid the rest to make it that amount. Then I was sent an invoice stating the withdrawal fee was $342. Still trusting her I paid that amount. Then the day I received the profit, there was another withdrawal fee of $167 and the total profit would be $2,513. I argued with her that I’m not going to pay another fee on the day of. I told her it seem sketchy and felt like a scam. She told me she would pay for the last fee and just give me my money. She was going to transfer the money to my cash app account, but you could only transfer a certain amount per day. Therefore I let her log into my account so she could put in the money then log out. I argued I couldn’t log in and she told me she put the money in there. She said I was lying and that I took the money and I was asking for more. We argued numerous times and then she said I was scamming her and cut me off.
