Scam Description
I met a military sargeant in late October. I started giving money to him in October 2021 and he was saying he was going to come home for vacation and go back to the to where he is deployed in two weeks he was coming to San Francisco. That of course was because he did not have enough money so then he rescheduled to come back out in January and didn’t come as the month comes around he was telling me that he had acquired some paintings and show them to me online as well as a couple some diamonds is the precious metals He asked if I wanted to possibly invest in them with money and you will see a profit after they are sold I said yes and sent him some money at the time to that date I sent him for $4000 then when he was finally going to be coming home in December when he went with you with him to transfer flights from to New York City he got detained because he did not have documentation for the paintings and diamonds Yes me for cost the fine which was the sum of almost $13,000 which was impossible so being that he’s a good dude good coin trader he’s headed to trade on the dark web what he needed $500 to do it start off with I gave it to her and being being held for two months he came up with $13,000 no presently he is in route back to San Francisco and is still having problems with documentation of the paintings and was detained at SFO and agreed given him money to the sum of about$ 31,000 I don’t know why I did this but I believe him and now it’s costing me.
