I invested with someone(moderator) of a group on Telegram called Worklite Uni Options, her name is Lora. I did some research and did not find anything bad. I did contact a lot of the members for reviews or if they had been paid and no bad reviews, everyone got paid per plan, thought surely not everyone lieing (10 people). It was a 21 day payout. My 21 days is up and now all of a sudden she wants a TVN (trade verification number or code) to verify my profits for her server to send my profits. There is also a website called Capital Base Traders where I can see my profit. Not knowing what a TVN is or where to get one, I didn’t have one, she said I could get one from a TVN programmer or vendor. So she kindly gave me one of her contacts which is a TVN programmer. It all just seems fishy to me. I haven’t contacted him yet, but figuring they will want money to get a TVN. Is this normal or does it appear to be a scam? Thanks for any help!
From the beginning of your write up till the end is just smelling scam and scam. This why when people post their scam experience I do not discourage them. No matter how repeated a scam has been, no matter how cheap it is that you think no one will fall for it. There's one person somewhere who is ready to fall by all means.
You joined a telegram group and all the members of that group was there before you, and you now asked them whether or not the group is a scam. You were just asking a scammer if he is a scammer or not.
If this isn't a made up story, I will just say 'sorry', you are scammed. Do not contact anyone for any number for such numbers do not exist.
