Bitcoin Mining Investment Scam

A romantic contact claims to run or have access to a cryptocurrency mining operation offering high fixed returns, encouraging the victim to invest funds that are then reported as "growing" on a platform the scammer controls.

• Promises fixed, guaranteed returns regardless of market conditions
• Investment platform is unfamiliar and not available through major exchanges
• Encourages reinvesting "profits" rather than withdrawing them
• Withdrawal requests are delayed with new fees or excuses
• Relationship and investment pitch develop on the same timeline
• Pressure increases to recruit friends or family into the same "opportunity"
