Scam Description
So I meant someone that encouraged me to open an account with the Credit Union. I opened an account and then outrageous fees started. I was asked to send $200 via cash app to activate my account. Then $800 for a debit and credit card which also needed to sent to Cash App. Then they told me I was being fraudulent so they want $2500 to reactivate then it changed to $1000 to reactivate through Cash App account then they said they were closing my account and I needed to transfer the money. They want to charge me $31660 to wire transfer $1,000,900. That is unheard of so basically my funds are in limbo until I pay.
