Scam Description
Was contacted by an account named “Tristian Tate”. Was asked to provide 1000 American dollars worth of Bitcoin to invest in a service with the promise of making approximately 400 US every few days. Once the bitcoin was transferred, a “dashboard” was used on a site provided by the facebook account. I was then told that I needed to invest 3000 dollars worth of bitcoin to be allowed to “invest” or take part in the service. I refused and told the Facebook account I was not going to money and wanted my funds back. I was told by the website messager service that I would not be given my bitcoin back unless in invested the full 3000 dollars of bitcoin. The Facebook account told me to “follow the rules”. Meaning to pay more money. I refused and called this person out for committing fraud. I have since been blocked by the Facebook account. I have screenshots of all of this.
