Lost my savings to 'Mountain Effort Digital Currency Exchange' after meeting someone on Bumble. What are my reporting options in Europe?
I am absolutely devastated. I met someone really charming on Bumble a few months ago. We talked for weeks, and they seemed so genuine and kind. Eventually, they started talking about this amazing investment opportunity with something called 'Mountain Effort Digital Currency Exchange' (ocean678.com). They showed me how much profit they were making, and it all looked so legitimate.
I ended up investing a lot of my savings, pretty much everything I had. For a while, the numbers on the platform looked great, but when I tried to withdraw, they started demanding all these 'tax fees' and 'unlocking fees'. It just kept going, and I never got a single penny back. Now I can't contact the person anymore, and the website just seems to mock me. I'm in the Netherlands. What do I even do? Who should I report this to from here? I feel so stupid and broken.
