Scam Description
Took over friends’ IG accounts, posing as my friend, and photoshopped images of a push notification being sent from Chase bank for proceeds from Bitcoin.
Syndey at Forex was the IG handle that started communicating with me.
They took a 500$ deposit to get you hooked, showing the money in your new account which then was 1700
Then proceed to tell you that in order to w/d money you need to add another $1700 for licensing requirements (will accept bitcoin, paypal, cash app, zelle)
Your balance then continues to grow
When attempted to cashout, was then told they needed another 2k due to a ‘weak signal’ – FRAUD!!
