Victim Location WI 53217, USA
Total money lost $14,950
Type of a scam Tech Support
I was told to go to the bank and withdraw then money and deposit it back to their bank, Bank of America via a Bitcoin machine. I did go to the bank and withdraw the money saying I wanted to pay off my car as told to do. The bank would give me only $15,000. Supposedly the Educators Credit Union manager tried to call at 4:03 PM but my phone never rang. I believe the scammer somehow silenced my phone. I proceeded to go to a Bitcoin machine, the first which would not accept the transfer and another which I would not go to, so was told to go to a third one. The machine wouldn’t take one of the $50 bills because it was torn in one spot so he said I could “keep it for my troubles”. I "repaid" $14,950. They also had a screen shot of my driver’s license. I have obtained a new one on 4/9/24.
An officer from the Police Department was called and an incident report was filed the evening of 4/2/24. We called Bitcoin while he was here to ask what to do at this point.
The police officer said that he tried calling the number 844-526-0211 on Wednesday 4/3 and he was put on hold which then disconnected.
A case was also filed with Bitcoin, per their instructions, which has been denied and the decision is final on Monday 4/8/24
Unbeknownst to me this money came from my account at the credit union. I found this out when going to the bank on 4/3 Wednesday talking with the fraud department via phone. According to the person I spoke with, this is NOT a fraud case. I believe there should be a limit as to how much can be withdrawn at a time. And the manager should have come over to me while in the bank instead of calling me after leaving the bank.
Since I still owed $5,000 "Daniel" said he would call me at 9:00 AM on Wednesday 4/3 to instruct me further. He did call at 8:49 AM 229-299-9117 but I did not answer. I had three more calls in the afternoon between 4:42 – 4:45 PM which I did not answer from the same number 229-299-9117.
Throughout the day on Tuesday 4/2/24, we were on the phone for approximately 4-5 hours, never losing contact.
