I was seeked out by a Chinese woman…
I was seeked out by a Chinese woman named Yan Cheng. She does send you the “good morning” quotes which I find it doesn’t make any sense. I put in a $2000 initial investment in alphabettrade which I successfully withdrew. But when my account grew to over $200K, I tried to withdraw, they freeze my account saying I had to pay the NIIT Tax fee on the earnings, which I did. Once I did that, I tried to withdrawal my money again, they accused me of making illegal gains and ask for $130K for “capital gains fee”. In essence, they helld my money hostage.
Lots of red flags. Thought about calling the authorities right at the start, but didn't. I though I would follow the rabbit hole to be sure thinking that if I knew and they didn't know I knew, I could see their game maybe turn the tables. I noticed a another poster said they were able to get some money back. Would you mind sharing how? One poster mentioned a recoup firm in another post. I contacted them and they got into action. I was already scammed once, so I am naturally gun shy. I have so far received $40,000 from Pullclaim but I am trying to get all my money back or at least a major chunk. We shall see. I will post an update when this is over. I pray they get the rest to me like they promised.
I thought I could be smarter than them and play along. That was a mistake. I walked right into their trap. My suggestion coming from experience, contact the authorities ASAP before, and I stress BEFORE you send any $$ or just save yourself a lot of hassle, stress, sleepless nights, weight loss, possible divorce and depression and don't respond at all.
