The group was Corextx with Malcolm Schmidt(professor) and Ophelia Bennet (assistant). It was a WhatsApp group. It seemed legit enough. Talked about the market had their own app. Sent me $ for checking in. Invested $1000 and it looked like I was making a good return according to the app. Ophelia kept wanting me to invest more and more. Eventually added $1000 and $3500. They announced they had IPO on company’s and you received a discount on the stock. Ophelia kept wanting me to invest more. I had no more $ and I told her that repeatedly. I said the only way was with a loan which I saw other people ask for on this chat and she said she was so busy with loans. She said yes to a short term loan and that they could not take $ out of the account, once the loan had to be repayed but I could which made sense. I sold the ipo after a few days and now had $72,000 in the account. I was ready to pay back the loan. However, I can not use the $72,000 in the account to pay the loan of $32,000. I have to pay the $32,000 with outside funds meaning I had to give them this amount. She said I was told this. I told her I had no she hadn’t and I told her I had no additional money right from the start so why would she give me a loan? We all know why. Also see attached photo with comments that confirms the loan has to be paid but by me and no mention I can’t take the money out of the account just that they can’t. Worse part is I am unable to withdraw any funds until it’s paid. This includes the money I gave them. Now I started to do some research. https://www.securities-administrators.ca/news/investor-alert-fraudulent-social-media-investment-groups-take-advantage-of-unsuspecting-investors/ Sound familiar?
