On October 4, 2023, I accepted a friendship from a person of a mutual friend on Facebook. Her name is Nattaya Sakulwattana. We chatted for several months before she introduced me to online trading. We started trading using DeFi Wallet downloaded from the Google Play upon her recommendation. At first, we started trading small amounts. As I began to trust her, she instructed me to chat with customer service at dao-sc.com/dapp to qualify me for a 2-minute trading. When I learned that a 2-minute trading was a $65,000 loan, I asked Customer Service to take the money back because I did not have $65,000 to repay. I am a retiree with limited funds. However, they refused to take it back, instead I was hit with a threat to pay the $65,000 back in 3 days or face a $500/day penalty. I pleaded with people I know to borrow money. And I paid $65,000 as requested. They cleared my account for withdrawal. I requested to make a withdrawal to pay back the people. Instead of giving me the money, I was instructed to recharge $56,000+ into the DeFi wallet to pay the IRS for taxes on the profits. I must pay in a week or face a $500/day penalty. They told me that I will be getting an email of the tax document within 30 days to print for my record at the local IRS office. To this day, I have not received the tax document sent to me yet. Again, I begged people I know to borrow their money and I paid the requested amount
They unlocked my account and I again requested a withdrawal. This time I was threatened again to pay a withdrawal deposit of $36,000+ in a week or pay penalty $500/day. I borrowed more money from various sources and made the payment. Afterward, I was told I am cleared to make the withdrawal without limits. I again request for a withdrawal. They told me that they will have my money in 24 hours. After several days, I still didn’t receive any money. I reached out to customer service via live chat (this is the only way to communicate with them). I was told that the funds had been intercepted by the Federal Reserve and the $250,000 withdrawal that I had requested had been returned my fake account. They told me that I have to do a manual verification but that I had to recharge the amount of $89,000 in 1 week for the manual verification or face a penalty of $1000/day. Again, I begged people to borrow money to recharged as instructed. After the recharged I was told that my account is in the green and okay for withdrawal. At this point, I had already deposited a total of $253,000. On April 17, 2024, knowing that everything was verified and recharged. I made another attempt to withdraw. I requested $80,000 to pay for some loan. Instead of giving me the money, they told me to recharge $70,000+ to verify that it was me. I need help getting my money back. Please help me! They have my Driver’s License on file. And I paid into the account UID:490670 multiple times because they threatened me. Help, please!
