Scam Description
I was invited by a group chat over WhatsApp through a Bitcoin group and they were trying to explain how investing in the loss of Bitcoin or the gain of Bitcoin can still gain you money. I was told to create a crypto.com account and then make an account with Northstart.top for trading account. My initial investment was $25,000 and it grew up to 69,000 and it locked up into the account in which I can’t retrieve it and they want a $7,000 fee to get my own money back and when I went to make payments on it they still made excuses to not give it to me. entities will not answer phones. police report filed. omitting my personal information. Fraud chain with many people involved. Credit Union and Bank from evolve also reported to. The fraud team had multiple numbers all leading to nobody answering.
