This coming from someone who knows nothing bout crypto I bet. You can buy Bitcoin (that's the only "crypto" that matters) and safely store it all on your own without the need of any fake or real financial advisor. If you got scammed it's because you didn't do thorough research. This woman might have done some research, but obviously didn't do enough.
If you've ever gotten scammed, you know the embarrassment it causes and the self-blaming. I feel so bad for her. I thank her for telling her story despite the embarrassment. Hopefully, she has helped others avoid similar scams.
You see these fake financial advisors being posted about copy pasted all over TH-cam. They usually start out "my family has been blessed, thank God I'm able to donate, blah blah blah". Different names same script. Totally fake.
This is so stupid. No legit financial company will ask you to pay taxes. Never mind paying taxes with crypto or gift cards or anything silly like that. People really have no idea how financial systems work. Just remember, when you sell, you can use that proceed to pay any taxes. If anyone tells you otherwise, you are being conned.

Yes you can lose up to your initial investment. Usually these are the safest stocks though. In 2008 the s&p lost 50% of its value but it came back up over a number of years.

This is why it's so import to educate yourself. If you're going in blind with no clue you will get scammed. I'm no advisor but seeing those emails and just the process in general makes it incredibly obvious it's a scam.
This is sad. It is not emphasized or taught enough to the masses that any piece of garbage could be a the other end of their correspondence or posting messages on the internet
Did she reach out to the advisor directly through Fidelity or just through the internet? I don’t see how this can happen if you’re working through the brokerage firm.
They prey on older people as this woman since they do not usually recognize the red flag signs. This lady seemed to miss so many that she kept giving and shoveling out more until the scammer themselves tapped out.
Why would you invest with an advisor that you don't have a relationship with!!!! A relationship is someone you can visit get quality referral and references...
Ok but a lot of "legitimate" advisors are absolute thieves too, so "having a relationship" means little. So many financial advisors sell horrendous products that only benefit them, not you, the investor. Clark Howard talks about it all the time. If they do not have a fiduciary duty, they are not looking for your best interests. You have to be careful even if you know the advisor personally.
First and foremost, DONT EVER invest with anybody from Atlanta. This same thing happened to me! You give anybody from that crooked place your money and u will be scammed.
My bro came to me that a crypto investor based in Singapore will double your investments in one year. I gave him $1200. That was 5 years ago. No need telling you how it ended 😂😂
This all comes down to GREED on the victim's part of these type of frauds. They invest some money - see that it returns something like 500% and then spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to try to get access to it. Greed is a powerful drug.
The way to eliminate these kinds of problems is to use major reputable U.S. financial institutions and don't send money to whoever over the internet for some kind of investment. You have to know who you are dealing with... And don't get involved with crypto.
Who relative did this, you know her family going to let her have it. Its best to be incognito do not ever show your face, your hard money gone like that...
Whenever I see those people talking about investing and their go-to advisor on TH-cam videos especially when it has nothing to do with the video, you run you never take Financial advice from someone you don't know online😢
She recovered 5k because it was sent via ACH who was it sent to? How was it recovered? We know she didn’t send it to fidelity, was it sent to person of business? They can track real owner of the receiving account Unless he also opened fake account with some bank, in this case, she can go after bank which allowed for this to happen in first place
She is not a victim. She believed someone who said they would earn 20% every month or quarter and did not question it. I'm guessing the $120k was her only investment and she put it all into crypto?? Again, she is not a victim. The only real option for someone with $100k is index investing, but that would not give you 20% a month. She was greedy and has only herself to blame.

Just stay with S&P500 and similar through your daily bank if you have no idea what you are doing. These get rich fast schemes are too risky.
Rule #1 in the world of investing, Only invest what you're willing to risk!
Why didn't she call Fidelity directly? They have a 1-800 number.
This is not even a sophisticated scam lmaoooo 😂 there’s literally a laundry list of red flags but sadly it didn’t trigger a bulb in her head 🤣🤣🤣
I would rather have the money, let people use their own money if it is so good. 😮😮😮
It’s these foreigners they let over here. They are driving Teslas and their living in the best neighborhoods with 400,000 homes
😂... that's funny as hell. Sounds like she got boyced. That's Boyced up. Yall better be careful fooling around with these TH-camrs.
The way to eliminate these kinds of problems is to use major reputable U.S. financial institutions and don't send money to whoever over the internet for some kind of investment. You have to know who you are dealing with... And don't get involved with crypto.
Who relative did this, you know her family going to let her have it. Its best to be incognito do not ever show your face, your hard money gone like that...
Free financial advise: Short term U. S. treasury notes. No City or State taxes on interest.
A strong black independent woman…it can happen to anyone 😅
So what’s the name of the advisor?
Joe Scammer
Probably Ms. Laura or Ms. Elizabeth 😂
Save your money and don't let scammers get to you. Moral of the story: always go to the bank and get this done never online
WRONG , WELL SEE ABOUT THAT. THERE IS ALWAYS A TRAIL DIGITALLY OR OTHERWISE!!
Sweetheart you should have continued to save your money for rainy days. There are no get rich investments!!!
Just buy Tesla stock sit back and collect a fortune.
Whenever I see those people talking about investing and their go-to advisor on TH-cam videos especially when it has nothing to do with the video, you run you never take Financial advice from someone you don't know online😢
She read it on the internet...LOL
🕊I pray🙏🏾 you get it all back. In The Might Name of Jesus Christ, thanks for sharing

That's why I am completely blocking to receive any gmail emails to all my email accounts.
She recovered 5k because it was sent via ACH
who was it sent to?
How was it recovered?
We know she didn’t send it to fidelity, was it sent to person of business?
They can track real owner of the receiving account
Unless he also opened fake account with some bank, in this case, she can go after bank which allowed for this to happen in first place
She is not a victim. She believed someone who said they would earn 20% every month or quarter and did not question it. I'm guessing the $120k was her only investment and she put it all into crypto?? Again, she is not a victim. The only real option for someone with $100k is index investing, but that would not give you 20% a month. She was greedy and has only herself to blame.
Your thinking is psychopathic.You’re a wicked that thinks it’s okay to hurt someone who doesn’t know any better.
