Hi,
      First I want to thank you all for so actively & quickly replying to my post. I didn't expect so many replies. It's funny you all have a large part of the story right. I always kinda knew this was all BS but it was fun at first. The "friend" is a hot Singaporean girl living in LA. She texted me & I played along. I even told a friend "hey I'm getting cat-fished, hahaha".  We traded pics & even did some Video Chats. You were right she quickly changed our conversations over to WhatsApp. I still thought the whole thing was odd. Then we talked about crypto. She seemed very educated on the subject. She said I should download this app PKEK to use as a trading app.  So you are right she sent me a link to it. It wasn't on the app store.  Somehow I was able to use it online or from an app on my phone. She told me her rich uncle had a staff that could predict a window when BTC would go up or down. We could do 30 second bids on Buy High or Low-price trades & get as much as a 20% return.

I decided to play along & put a couple hundred $ worth of ETH on the platform. And (not surprisingly) it worked. Then I worked again & again. Like an idiot, I started to hope maybe this was real. Within 3 months the balance was up to $50k!!! I was able to withdraw $300, $200 & $1100. So I thought it might be real. I probably put a couple $1000 worth of BTC & ETH in the system. I never put any real cash in the game!!! I was riding the profit wave of my stored Crypto & felt comfortable enough to risk some of the recent gains on this scam. But when I tried to pull out the amount I had invested & leave behind the amount she had made for me, everything changed. The Online support team said since I had made withdrawals & deposits from 2 or more IP Addresses they would have to place a hold on my account & run an audit.

As described in a reply, I had to deposit more crypto $ using my primary IP address so they could run the review, otherwise, they might freeze the account. Like an idiot, I thought why not risk a little more in hopes of gaining access to the $50K which was waaaay more than I'd risked at this point. So far it's been 5 days & no word about my review. The funds say they are still there. I'm not locked out or anything. But here is the weird part. Maybe you all can find the angle they are trying to play.

She (who acts pure & innocent as snow) started nagging me to add $300K to the balance!!! I had to tell her several times I could no sooner come up with $300K as $300 Million. I mean come on that's a crazy leap. She sends pictures as if she's incredibly wealthy from her rich uncle. It's a weird scam when the scammer acts as if they have waaaay more $ than you. So she claims that at the $300K level we can make 60 second bids on the exchange & get 30-40% returns. That sounded amazing, but who cares, I will never have $300K in cash & if I did I wouldn't be doing these schemes. So here's where we are now. She wants to send my PKEK account $250K worth of ETH. That plus the $50k in there now puts the balance at $300K. She wants me to be able to do the 60-second bids.
-So where is the angle? If she send me the $250K in ETH how can that backfire on me?
-Why would she encourage me to make moe fake $$? She knows I'm not putting any more in.
The only thing I can think of is, I put her $$ in my PKEK account. Then they claim there is a problem & I have to pay to free the account again. I tell them to bite me & she gets "mad" I got her money taken. But since it's all fake $$ anyway, I don't see the angle unless I pay more, which I absolutely won't.

It's a very weird scam when someone is saying "please please take my $250K in ETH". I told her I didn't feel comfortable doing it while my account was under audit.  Then just to test her willingness to really send me the ETH, I offered her to send it to my Cold storage account. Then I could deposit it in PKEK after the audit. She decided we could wait until after the audit....of course. Well, that is where we have left things. Now you see why I wanted to get some advice...which I should have done 3 months ago. Sorry this ran long. I hope maybe someone reads this & stops themselves before they go too far into the lie.
Thanks for listening & your feedback!!

Hi, I'm new to the forum,
     I met someone who seemed to know a lot about crypto that suggested I install an app to connect me to a crypto exchange called PKEK. I think it was from PKEK.io. I put it on my backup iPhone & it looks pretty cool. My friend says it's a small exchange from Singapore. The strange thing is I've googled & duck-duck-goed the hell out of "PKEK" & can't find anything about it. How can anything you can install on an iPhone have Zero info about it on the "Inter-Webs"? It's very strange. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of it.
Thanks!
