I can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen stories like this. We get dozens of calls every day from people who have lost money on these fake investments, usually crypto or Bitcoin schemes, where they put in money. They show you a return, then they ask you for more money. They show you an even bigger return. Next thing you know, you’ve got a lot of money in there, and you might see a big number on your statement, but that statement is just fake. And then, when you go to take money out, they tell you that you have to pay taxes, or you have to pay audit fees, or something else, or they ghost you, or both.
