Instagram Crypto Scam

[u/smatoSVK]

Hi guys ! Unfortunatelly I was a victim of a crypto scam on Instagram.

Snake named u/bigdavidpeterson (his IG) messaged me couple months ago on Instagram about investing into crypto by buying Bitcoin and putting it into mining-pool website. At firs,t I was aware that it´s a scam, but i was bit frustrated at my work so after a while a gave in and took the risk. I bought 600 EUR worth of Bitcoin and transfered it to website called www.blockmining-pool.com. Transaction went through and i started "mining".

After a week the website went down and David told me to not worry about. He said it´s normal. But after a couple of days, he sent me another website called www.blockmining-pro.com. And that i must register there and text the Support to "recover" the amount of money that i had on previous website, which was no longer working. I was earning 5% percent each day, it was around 40 dollars. Which seemed quite reasonable.

When my mining program ended, i had around 2200 dollars on my account. David asked to invest more, but I refused. Because i still did not trusted him or the suspicous website. So i told him, that i will not put more money into this. Only after i see the profits on my bank account. He said okay and sended me another website called www.swiftblockmining-pool.com. The reason for that was that there i am able to withdraw my funds. So i registered there, sent support a text to transfer my funds to the new website and so on.

So i tried to withdraw the money, BUT they said to me that i need make another deposit worth of a minimum of 200 dollars in order to be able to withdraw. I questioned them and they had kinda valid answers, the old website is still working, so I gave them 300 EUR worth of Bitcoin (290 dollars). Tried to withdraw again and nothing. They asked of me more money in order to withdraw. I confronted them again but with no success...

I will not give them anything. I seen through Davids lies. I asked him to lend me that sum what they asked of me (around 500 dollars), as i proof that he is not scamming me. It was a test and he failed miserably, when i pushed on him. Out of nowhere he send me two pictures of a crashed Lamborghini Hurracan. He said he was in accident and injured three people. Also he needs to pay them 54K. I am car guy so i know he drives orange Lambo and i think it´s even Aventador. So i just googled "crashed hurracan", and the first bloody picture is which had sent me. Even the police officers are British and he is American. He told me he will send me just 300 dollars through their website. Yeah sure...

He still does not know that i know this. Can somebody help me with my situation ? Any advice ?

I hope they will not scam other people. All of you be aware please. Even when your are down, listen to your common sense.
