I first got a text on whatsapp. Looked into the options trading platform. I decided to risk a little bit. Sure enough they person tried to get me to double what I had invested. Ended up the person lied and claimed to have invested his/her money to upgrade me fake account with them if I would only add $100. I did that. The fake account supposedly completed the trading and was supposed to pay me $20k. The trick is they tell you to pay $600 more to have the money released from the SEC.
I didn't fall for that I talk them into a much smaller amount knowing it was never gonna pay the $20k. Sure enough I was correct. After that, they stop talking to you because the gig is up. They got me for a few hundred bucks but tried for more. They will lie as much as they have too, to get the most money out of you that you will spend.
