To think this is a scam

There's an Instagram account called chelsea(underscore)brown _x

She is basically asking people to transfer her money, which she will apparently invest and then transfer back with a huge return.

I'm 99% sure it is a scam and I'm concerned about people being tempted to try it, especially with the current cost of living.

I've tried reporting to Instagram multiple times but nothing has been done. Is there anything else I can do?

Defo a scam!

Anyone who is daft enough to send her money shouldn't be in charge of their own money.

And have their computer taken away till they learn about internet safety.

100% a scam, but I don't know what else you could do unless you have any knowledge of who, and where, she is?

Sounds legit 🤷‍♀️.

Only 99% sure? How can it not be a scam?

I'm 99% sure it is a scam

I am worried about the 1% of your brain that thinks this isn't a scam!

Yes, you could put it on a site with millions of viewers, some of whom may think it's legit 🙄

I have a Kate msging me. I work in finance and have told her all the ways I can see through her lies. The certified by... xxorganisation in not an actual thing. Sounds great though.

Her screen shots. Well 1 bank is supposed to be lloyds but has a Barclays sort code.

When I started talking about if she has registered her business so she is paying tax she stopped messaging me.

Ii have come across the same person on multiple platforms..Chelsea Louise on Tik Tok...as a financial consultant. I can attest that these claims of returns are simply not possible..Intend to report this on every platforms and on every search engine. This type of scam on vulnerable people..promising a way out of financial distress is deplorable.

I agree. These people are despicable.
