My complaint:
This crypto scam started with a girl reaching out to me on a dating app. After months of talking and video chatting she asked if I would like to learn how to trade ustd derivatives using thegicc.com platform.
After a few weeks of some small wins we continue to play these derivatives and ended up winning a large sum of 43,388 usdt.
The company said because I withdrew the whole dividend proceed that I have to pay the taxes up front which seemed legit I know from trading stocks you pay your capital gain tax money.
They also said because of the platform that I used which was net coins it looked like I have gray assets and they needed 10,000 usdt to investigate the blockchain and that money would be returned to me once the investigation proved to be successful and that the money was clean and not fraudulent.
Once I borrowed the money from friends and family I paid them all the tax money and the investigation money and they had told me that my funds would be transferred to my crypto wallet within 48 hours.
The initial dividend payout was August 6th, I paid the funds by August 19th, which included her paying approximately 5, 000. I was in constant communication with thegicc.com persons. When August 23rd came around they had said we need 48 hours to transfer the funds which my response was you’ve been saying that for the last 120 hours you have 24 hours to send the proceeds.
Of course this never happened, instead my messages were not red and both the girl that I was talking to plus the company changed their messaging addresses, but as of August 24th 11:00 a.m. thegicc.com app is still up and running.
The parties names are Zijia Lin (goes by Nicole) and thegicc.com.
Suggested solution:
Quite obviously is to pay back the original investment as well as all payments made.
