I stopped all communication and deleted everything. I actually bought bitcoin through my Cash app and that’s where I sent the bitcoin to the scammer from. Is Cash App safe? Today I see a cash app pending in my linked bank account. The total is 0.00 but I did not make any transactions. Can this scammer somehow try to get money out of my linked bank account by just sending bitcoin to them from my cash app?I just deleted my linked bank account.

After calling her a scammer and everything else, she is still trying to get me to get the trade verification code from her vendor by paying thousands more. Some scammers just don’t give up!

I have been on Telegram for a long time. On someone’s group chat that I have been a member a long time, he posted the link to worklite, I clicked on the link and it took me to the worksite unit options group. I did contact the guy that I know that posted the link but After I invested, I found out that it was an imposter with his name that posted the link. All the postings in the worklite group were people posting about receiving their profits. The moderator on there said please DM me to learn about the investing and to invest. That’s pretty much how it started. I know there were a lot of red flags. But I was just stupid. It definitely learned a lesson. So she contacted me this morning as soon as I left the group she knew it. She said did you get your trade verification number? I told her I was not paying anymore money for the trade verification number. I said how much is a trade verification number, and she said between 4000 and $6000. I told her I knew her scheme was a scam and I was not paying more money.  I just have to chalk it up to a life lesson and learn from it. The wallet Id I sent the money to was “bc1qq3sljfr4km2m66t0w7fpeen6zqsyjhwjwqzmn9”.

And you guys are right, I cannot find worksite uni options on telegram now that I have left the group. All the members were probably fake or bot accounts. Also when I would try to take a screenshot of the members posts, the picture was blank. Weird. I did take screenshots of all of the moderators and my conversations.

Just wished I would have done a lot more research and came here to this forum before investing. Stupid stupid!

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.

Ok thanks! It is definitely not a made up story, I will post her remarks from telegram and her wallet id later when I get home.

You didn't tell us if it was a bitcoin trading or other way of investments such as the fiats. But all I can say about this is that don't trust any given site either already compensating you with interests of your investment or any format claiming to give you investments returns of profits.
Don't be so easy to be romanced and fooled with sugarcoated words with some sorts of attractive promises or reviews via internet researches. There are local and international scammers who operates cordially according to by they could deliver their illegal jobs.
Stay of from Ponzi schemes. They're strategic scammers. Let's me warned.

I sent them bitcoin. Don’t worry, never again!

I am sorry to say that you have been scammed and become an easy target, Never believe in anything you get across through the telegram as most of the shits are scam over there and it's filled with ponzi scheme like the one you have been looped into. Now, don't stress over it as you will not get it back and may end up being scammed even further if you follow their instructions.

This forum is gift for us as we can get these things clarified over this forum before getting into something like investment or project. In future if you want to make any such moves please check with us over this forum and expert's opinion.

Ok thanks! Yes, that’s why I didn’t even contact the so called TVN programmer. I’m sure he would want money to get this so called code and then they still wouldn’t have paid me. Wish I would’ve came here first!!
Is there anything or anywhere I can report this? I have their wallet ID where I sent it. They also have my wallet ID’s to send me my profits. Is that a bad thing? Can they somehow steal money from my accounts? I used cash app, and opened an account with crypto.com, but I don’t have any balance in either. Thanks for all your help!!

I can't find the telegram called Worklite Uni Options even on telegram how did you found this telegram group?
Are you sure that you did your research?

About the Capital Base Traders, I searched it on Google and based on whois this site is 5 months old I also tried to check for reviews but I can't find any.
I thought that you did some research but why you don't know if they are scams or not? For me, this is suspicious I can't find the Worklite Uni option even on Google so how did you trust them?  Sorry but for me this is scam.

I took a screenshot of the page on telegram but not sure how to post it here.
