Girl by the name of Lucy/Li Man. Claims to be Chinese but working at a job given to her by her uncle at IDG Capital in Boston. Number is likely duped or something as she used two different ones to text me. One number was Illinois based, the other Massachusetts. Claims birthday is "July 15th." Texted randomly out of the blue saying they were looking for someone else and they had been given the wrong number. Said they didn't mind talking to me because they are looking for friends. Very charming and good at manipulation. Insisted on talking on Telegram. Chatted normally for a few days before the topic of investing in Bitcoin came up. Guilt tripped me but then went back to chatting normal. Couple days later same thing happened. Few days later it happened a third time and they finally got the point that I was never going to give them any money. After that contact decreased greatly as they probably figured I wasn't worth investing time into anymore. If you look elsewhere on Scam Watcher, Lucy/Li Man appears to be part of a ring of young Chinese girls who all claim the same backstory of their uncle working at IDG Capital. They'll befriend you and before long try to get you to invest in Bitcoin or some other kind of investment. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. They appear very knowledgable about investing, but you WILL NOT get your money back according to other people on this site that have fallen for it.

This Rose scammer became a Facebook friend with an elderly relative. She was friends for a little bit, but then started getting all lovey-dovey with a man 50 years older. She would use messenger for a short time and then switch to telegram and went by @Rose910910. She would call once in a while with a Trenton Michigan phone number, but claimed she was from Boston, Massachusetts. The Trenton, MI phone was disconnected as soon as she was able to walk the elderly relative on how to download telegram and of course, cash app that later followed. Keep in mind this elderly relative had no clue how to change his Apple ID download an app or use any type of cash app. Of course, since he had an iPad, this Rose scammer person could contact him and walk him through everything. This scammer even sent a copy of her fake ID and asked for his in return which he did send a photo of it. After about six weeks, we have finally realized that over 10k in funds has now gone to the scammer, Rose Zhang Bitcoin account. At this point, it is very sad that this elderly person is out all this money however it is due to his own negligence, but it’s quite sad that these people are taking advantage of these elderly people and this is considered elder abuse. Attached is a copy of this scammers ID sent through telegram. We also believe that these are a group of people involved using different alias as well that are friends of these scammers. Please be careful and watch out for your elderly relatives!

I found other people on scam watcher that had the same interaction with this person(s).

Her story is that she is moving from Boston to Canada and she will be working with her uncle on running his business I searched and found Rita Lee scams online and that she worked for IDG. Few days later she told me she worked for them as a financial project manager; I called them, no Rita Lee there. she called me many times and then video called. I recorded her voice and videos. Her video calls are short and she sent me a daily picture of herself and what she is doing. I work in cyber security so I managed to trace her IP address - it was in Thailand. I believe that it’s a group of people who are chatting using – and when voice or call is needed, they will make her call. I counted more than 50 mistakes that are obvious that they are scammers throughout the week. My last message to her was that I contacted the authority in Thailand with and contacted the authority in Canada
