Forex Investment Scam
Abuser: Michelle Rodgers / Instagram: fx_michelle_rodgers
Heard about this person being an advisor for Forex investments through a friend on Instagram. The whole scheme is as follows: this Michelle Rodgers lady has an Instagram profile under the @fx_michelle_rodgers. I got in touch with her to invest $1,000 worth of BTC (Bitcoin) and she asked me to get in touch with her through her Business Phone +1 (765) 230-5447. She explained that her advisor fee was 10% of any “profits” generated to which I agreed. She then started messaging with me through WhatsApp to direct me step by step on where to send her the money which I ended sending through BTC (Bitcoin) Wallet within the CashApp. After sending her the money and confirming she had received it on her end she asked me to sign up in a portal (www.deluxeapex.com) where I would be able to see the initial investment amount of $1,000 plus any profits within a 2 hour period. After 10 minutes of having signed up I saw my initial investment amount reflected within the transactions section of my account. After about 1 hour “profits” from my initial investment showed up as an available balance of $25,000 plus my initial investment amount which totaled $26,000. She then asked me if I had seen the profits show up and asked for a screenshot to confirm. After that she asked me if I wanted to withdraw everything or reinvest it. I said I would withdraw $23,000 and leave $3,000 for her to reinvest. She proceeded to show me step by step how to request the withdrawal to my personal bank account and I was able to setup the request to withdraw $23,000 from my available account balance. After doing that she messaged me once again to ask me if I had received any messages from her company (Deluxe Apex) which I did get an email basically telling me that since my ROI was so high my account within deluxeapex.com needed to be upgraded to a different tier in order to keep on investing.
