Scammer contacted me first via the Bluesky social website, pretending to be an "Anna Lynch", and using images of an already well known influencer, "Mrs. Poindexter" whose images are used by this new scammer via text messages on the phone 1(336)2647224. The scammer started very romantically, did not mind that I stated I am married, and on day two of the conversation, stated they wanted to share music with me, via a Spotify playlist, but that they needed $300.00 USD to reactivate their account. Once they asked for money, they became one track minded, always aksing for the money. On day three, they reduced the amount to $150.00 USD, and continued to ask for it, using poor tactics to do so. I never sent them any money, instead sent some really badly taken pictures, with only a partial of my head, or blurry pictures. Nothing more. Kept them going until day 4, where I blew them off by pretending to be angry that all they wanted to talk about was this money. I did get them to send me a PayPal email address, since they first asked to use Cash App, so hopefully, there is a bank account connected to that email which is: Shawn.alderman63@yahoo.com I am also reporting them to Yahoo and PayPal. The images are what the scammer was using, it is not the actual scammer. A quick Google reverse image search provided instant results.

Contacted by a person who calls themselves Jessica with a company called Techforing......the company is real, but she claimed they might be able to reclaim much of my crypto funds scammed back in 2024. I had suspisions but with the vain hope of recovering much of my lost savings, I played along. She didn't ask for funds upfront, so that was not in the std. profile of a scammer. However, when she claimed that they had a little more than half recovered, I needed to deposit $2000. in my On-chain wallet. (red flag).......I've delayed this claiming I'd have to come up with the funds, it'd be next week........Already reported it to Telegram and IC3 with the FBI. Since I wasn't actually loosing money, I didn't report to the IDthieft@gov. Her label on Telegram is Techforing-Jessica....@282889c.........beware, scammer, and a good one. Pasted is our last conversation when she revealed I needed to cough up 2 grand. [3/19/2026 7:06 PM] Jessica: Because your funds were illegally transferred and laundered multiple times after being defrauded by scammers, they are temporarily marked and frozen after we recover them. You will need to complete the necessary verification process to remove the mark. After that, I will guide you through withdrawing your recovered funds to your bank account. [3/19/2026 7:07 PM] Michael: ok [3/19/2026 7:09 PM] Jessica: This is because scammers have conducted extensive money laundering processes on your funds. Therefore, you need to complete the following steps: You need to deposit $2000 into your own wallet account. This is because your on-chain wallet account currently has no funds, and a portion of the recovered funds has been marked and frozen by the blockchain system. Therefore, you need to activate your wallet and initiate the verification process for the recovered funds. However, please note that this $2000 only needs to be deposited in USDC cryptocurrency within your own on-chain wallet account; you do not need to send it to anyone or provide a receiving address. This is simply to complete the activation and verification process for the recovered funds. Do you understand?
