Scam Description
This guy created an account on an app called Connectors Investors. His fake name is James Benson and he claims to be a professional forex trader. He made multiple posts on the app by asking people if they’re interested in earning daily/weekly. I reached out to him saying I was interested. He told me to create an account on www.tradeprimemarket.com and the website looks legit. I did, I sent him a total of $3000 for him to invest in my account because he told me that he would carry out my trade and then I would receive profit afterwards. When he claimed to be finished with the trade, he told me that there was a $2000 withdrawal fee on the day that he promised I would access the funds. Unfortunately, I believed him and sent him another $1900. Once I sent him this, he inquired about an additional withdrawal rate of $2000. It was then confirmed to me that this guy is a scammer who claims to live in Florida but by his accent, I don’t even believe now that he even lives in the United States! I wired transferred $1000 to him for a fraudulent investment.
