Internet Love Scam Investment Scam
***IN THIS INVESTMENT SCAMMER WILL HAVE 3 CHARACTER SETTING.
1) CUSTOMER SERVICES WILL HELP YOU TO REQUEST BANK ACCOUNT TO TRANSFER THE FUNDS.
2) THE GUY WHO CHATTING WITH YOU TO BUILD UP YOUR TRUST, RELATIONSHIP AND PERSUADE YOU TO TOP UP TEACH YOU TO COMPLETE THE 80% CASH LIQUIDITY.
3) THE ASIAN REMITTANCE FUND DEPARTMENT. KEEP CHASING YOU TO PAY THE 20% DEPOSIT.

AROUND AUGUST 2021 - SEPTEMBER 2021
THE INVESTMENT PLATFORM NAMED “CAPITALONE" AND THE LINK PROVIDED WILL BE CHANGED FREQUENTLY.
THERE IS A LOT OF BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER PROVIDED FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICES.
TO GAIN TRUST FROM YOU, THE GUY WILL SAID THAT HE WILL HELP YOU TO PAY HALF AND THERE IS NO MORE MONEY TO PAY ALREADY DUE TO HIMSELF ALSO NEED TO PAY. HE WILL SCREENSHOT THE BANK TRANSFER EVIDENCE BUT HIDDEN THE BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND SENT TO YOU.

RECEIVED A FRIEND REQUEST TExT ON IG chat. AS I AM A PERSON WHO WILL REPLY TO ANYONE WHO TEXT ME. I AUTOMATICALLY REPLIED & CHAT SLOWLY through the chat around few days, he started to confess his feelings; wanted to start a relationship & said the previous ex-girlfriend to win your sympathy & trust.

After a few day, he introduced me to do some investment & the investment majority is to get the dividend only ( top up a limit fund will get interest/dividend return & you need to do 80% cash liquity so that you can withdraw the fund in one day).
for the 1st & 2nd time the fund can be withdraw back but at the 3th time is difficult to withdraw due to huge amt. they will told you that your income is over 40% return, you need to pay income tax & if not pay the money will be treated as give up & all belong to the investment platform after you paid the inc tax will be transfer to the asian department who in charge of remittance of funds. they will told you that due to SG mas regulation, there is a 20% guarantee fee but they mentioned is tax deposit need to be paid to the mas and will be get back in 30 minutes otherwise all the money will be treated as give up. i do researched on this matter & called the mas officer, bank officer, tax officer TO VERIFY but all the officer MENTIONED that there is no any surcharges/fee to be paid on this overseas investment remittance. suddenly, I came to realise that this is a scam but it's too late already.

I quickly went to the nearest police station to make a report but the guy didn't not realise & still connecting with me & trying to persuade me to transfer the deposit money.

I ignored & blocked the guy.
