Filing a case against a defaulter for a crypto scam
I believe that I am a victim of a crypto scam. I met a girl on tinder on 17/06/21 and after talking, we exchanged numbers. She onboarded me to Binance using step-by-step screenshots, helping me to set up an account.
She then asked me to set up an account on another platform which I now believe is a fake platform. Over a period of three months, she consistently encouraged me to deposit more and more money, and I was making huge returns.
In total, I deposited around 250k USD and supposedly had returns of 850k USD. But just recently when I tried to withdraw some of this, my withdrawal was declined and customer services told me I had to pay 150k USD in tax in order to access these funds.
I was very suspicious now and refused to pay. It was at this point that customer service stopped replying to me. I hope I can recoup some of the losses and this person can be brought to justice.
Dear questioner,
Yes, you have a right to file your case in two ways. First of all, you have to file a complaint in the electronic crime department, provide them all the details that you have and the authority will conduct an investigation.
After you receive details of the company or the person who cheated on you, then proceed in filing a civil case to recover your losses.
