All Started by text - sent by accident on my number as mistake.
15.11.2023, I have been approaching by text msg. +44 0786 0004742 by Chinese woman, introduces herself as Helen, 'by mistake' I can believe this name is real, because on dozen photos sent to me, she wears necklace with H.
Suspect, Helen suggested to use Telegram for communication, next day changed number, like this is business so we need use personal number.
First days we spoke about possible date, relationship, etc. She told she own small trade firm and started persuaded to invest to make profits.
I never invested before as I am construction supervisor, not trader etc. I tried 19.11.2023 $100 and after daily, few times per day communication she pushed invest more so next Friday I top up $500 and this amount rised every Friday.
Trades have been about 20-28 minutes per day, profitable, she told she do it 4 years Futures on Dot.
If my account gained Profit after trades 108, 714 USDT, own investment ~ $6,000 I asked to withdraw it. She told I need to contact customer services.

This is your tax address.

I didn’t pay because I don’t have this amount. Plus I believe even if I pay it, they will simply cut me off block my number.
Original Hongkonger, but she told, she has house/flat for 5 people in London, UK,
because she must move to UK.
I tried to check photos on software face recognition, she has lots of account on all social media, photos are identical, see left eye.
I am open to any communication regarding this case. I have lots of photos and my screenshots from Telegram communication.
