Good day

I hope that someone can help me in the situation I'm in at the moment please.

I invested money overseas, in a company called BTSave. They deal with Bitcoin. Everytime I try to get my money back, I have to pay them more and more money. I have taken out loans at the bank and by RCS. My mom says that she can't believe that FNB gave me all that credit, as I bank with them, and they can see all my income and expenses. BTSave promised me that I would make enough money to pay back my loans quickly. But they have all been lying to me from the start! The last guy I dealt with, promised me that I will get my $35000, but I need to pay $3000 commission first. I don't have any more money! I am in a very bad situation at the moment, as I cannot pay the loans back, if I don't get my money first from BTSave. I don't know if a lawyer can help me and draft a letter to this company or something? I really don't know how it works.

Could someone please help me?

I really need to get help urgently please.

Thank you

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

I think that the reality of your situation is that you've been caught up in a scam! I think that you need to report the matter to the SAPS for investigations.

I think that the further reality is that the investment company probably operates in Cyprus, which means that you are going to have to sue them there - which is not going to be quick, cheap, or easy.

Att. Patrick

Please remember this is a dialog if you have follow-up questions please make the required payment, then use the REPLY button and ask your further question. I would like to continue assisting you, but I need to concentrate on people who make payments for their questions.
