She helped me twice with the investment and made me $182 by putting in a total of $1200 within 2 hours time respectively. She convinced me to invest $20,000 in order to get high returns within a shorter time period, and on that day there were rewards of $4,888 if invest $30,000 and she said she could share $5000 to make up the 30000 and she expect to share $1888 from the reward.

But finally, she told me it was too late unable to invest. The next day, she said only $60,000 then can do the investment and we do last investment, will take back all our money. So I put in $20,000 more and she does the investment during the night.

About an hour later she told me can do the withdrawal. When I do the withdrawal at the website, the customer told me my account is frozen and needed to top up 50% of my withdrawal amount of $69,772.

This is when I realised it was a scam.
