Long story
Yuki friended me on Facebook dating just after my divorce.
After initially asking her why someone so young was interested in someone almost twice her age, we began texting.
She claimed to live in Miami.
She asked to switch to telegram for texting which I did not like.
After several weeks of exchanging photos and flirting and talking, she started mentioning quantitative, artificial investment trading through a company with the acronym KENSKR.
At first I was very standoffish and told her I'd know what she's trying to do, etc. and I am not going to fall for anything. I wanted to cut it off but she said no I'm going to open an account for you and show you how it works so you can see for yourself and then decide if you want to invest. so, I downloaded some apps she suggested and she opened an account for me and put $20,000 of supposedly her money in it. It is a strange platform where you invest a certain amount per week and must pledge for 120 days to get the maximum interest back. so, after one week, she asked me if I wanted to withdraw some money. Knowing it was her money but my account I said sure, but I will give it back to you to which she said no I want you to keep investing. So, I went through $10,000 and went through a series of wallets before it ended up in my bank account Three days later. There it was, $10,000. I did a lot of research found nothing bad and hesitantly began to deposit $5000 first of her 20,000 and then my own. I won't get into everything else but we had planned on meeting, of course, and sharing a life together and traveling the world and living like king and queen. I will cut further ahead to December when I went to Miami to meet her but a week before I came, she suddenly had to go to Japan to be with her sick mother who had Covid. Her father supposedly lives in France with her brother. So I went to Miami and I have friends there and had a good time. At this point I had invested $200,000 of my own money and she had supposedly put in 250,000 of hers and my account with KENSKR showed a balance of $1,200,000. All this time in the back of my head said something is not right. There was a Chat group for other investors with almost 300 people on it and we interacted each day. There was an office and team leaders and all kinds of things that you would chat with and get information. There were white papers they sent out to everybody, etc.,
when I returned from Miami, I wanted to withdraw a small amount because the mid of January my 120. Day commitment. Would end and I could if I wanted withdraw all of my money or keep investing and take out as much as I wanted.
January 2, 2023, probably the worst day of my life. I tried to withdraw $20,000 and was sent a notice by the office that the interest/capital gains in my account required taxes to be paid before any withdrawal could be made. They wanted me to deposit $148,000.. I texted Yukki and she was also dealing with it. When I went to the group no one was there it had been shut down. Interestingly enough, the group consisted of 98% men and 2% women who were models if you will. Each of these women was a perfect 10 which I questioned from the beginning. KENSKR, or whatever they are was demanding I come up with the tax money even if I was going to withdraw just $5000 lol. I knew something was wrong and I said we pay our own taxes in the United States and they were claiming it was an international new law, which was a bunch of crap. I was out $200,000 which I desperately needed to start my life over after my divorce and I blamed Yukki and claimed that she was part of the scam which to this day. I don't know if that is true or not. Apparently, she was scammed also and lost , almost $3 million of her own plus her real estate holdings in Tokyo. The last time we texted she was very depressed and wanted to come live with me in the United States. Her friend Akita is the one who contacted me because she knew Yukki very well and told me Yukki loved me and that she is very depressed. I said sure you can come here. The Akita started saying that I needed to pay for Yukki's plane ticket for her to come here and it could only be first class lol. Those tickets for first class are around $5000. I suggested I come to Tokyo and meet her finally, and fly back with her and she Said her mother would not like that. All kinds of excuses at the end they wanted me to buy crypto lol and send them that. I am not sure what really happened and I find very few people who have been through the same scam, if it is a scam with KENSKR.
I know it's based in Singapore I have a bank and a routing number and an account number I was sending the money to to invest. My bank, Bank of America the worst bank in the world would not help me at all, even though I never received a good or service. I filed with the FBI, who basically can do nothing, except for help the next person down the line possibly. I have several more photos of her but no idea where she might be in Tokyo if she is at all it is a longshot but I really want to just meet her and ask her what happened. I need to know for my own sanity, because this is been the hardest thing I've ever been through . I posted on Reddit and most of them on their call you a dummy for falling for the first place. Trust me, I am the most skeptical person in this can happen to anyone. It is a trauma, a nasty undertaking, and these people are trained in classrooms to get every detailed down. They look for vulnerable people possibly just divorced who are lonely and feed on that and your emotions with beautiful photos of gorgeous ladies. It happens to women also. I feel so alone in this and I feel she is the only person I can actually confront in a kind and gentle way where I would like to just talk to her , I have no idea where this will lead but I can't stop thinking about her because I love her and at the same time I don't even know if she really exists or if her identity was stolen and she has no idea even exist or if she was truly scammed as well. we were so far advanced in our our relationship that we were going to actually get a KENSKR regional store where we would receive millions from others investing as their team leaders. I went from La La Land to hell and six months, and the only thing in the kept me going were my three adult children, who at first were angry and now support me as well as my elderly parents. I have a very hard time talking about what I went through because it's embarrassing and humiliating but I can never stop thinking about Yukki if that is her real name.
