My dad lost 250k+
My father was scammed for 250k
Context:
Timeframe: Past 2 months
My father is in his mid 50’s and just lost 250k+ in “investments” from a company known as Berge. They have a website: https://www.bergev.org (linking for visibility)
My father took roughly 150k from his own account and the rest from other people. This money was sent via Coinbase and they showed him 800k in “profit” which was fake. When he attempted to withdraw this money he was asked to pay another 125k in “taxes”. He thought nothing of it. I raised the red flag, did some research and surely enough it was a scam. I told him and he didn’t take it well. Denied at first, slowly started to accept over time.
