What happened

A romance scam involving cryptocurrency was reported on 9 September 2026. I started chatting with an individual on Quora.com and the conversation got moved to google chat - the individual stated that her name was Michelle Hopkins an alias for an Australian Model/Influencer that wanted out of the business. She stated that she had to pay her current agency MN2S the amount of $2435 to process the contract cancellation - i sent an certified check to her agent Dao Quach. She next stated that she owed "The Talent Buro" in Australia $5,895.00 for doing a modeling project with out them know it - i paid that in bitcoin. She then said to get her bitcoin from Australia to the USA she had to pay the IRS approx $72K but MN2S and The Talent Buro was helping so she only needed $17K which i paid in bitcoin. The last request that was made was to pay $7,879 to coinmarketcap.com to cover the one-time fee to cover Platform Fees and Fiat conversion fees. At the point i contacted support@coinmarketcap.com and sent them a copy of the letter and they stated it was fraud. The individual gave me access to her coinmarketcap.com account to be able to see the $4.5M she had in in bitcoin - the wallet address is 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa Wallet addresses linked to this report: bitcoin: 3LbT6LHUw6zZZiqmTmQF6kYjxwmE5zNQtu, bc1q0tptyflq95s7vsk9e5rj8al3aaupfy0f266e5d, bc1q0v6aug42hrggxs0qeafz4dflytkxl32vgcgrqz, bc1q20jlz9yanskendh2wsrwu56umchd0yvckutqlh, bc1q42004t4krqap5gjlcjn6xfskedxuwvavckdgup, bc1q494yla9qzja4dc02pl5lqmsu7dkeel668l3wyw, bc1q4xtcy50x42kdkpm9zmetcwj4nsypgjph0mg2ht, bc1q6pfrrfsdf4t9dmdf9kwfdjg50lvwf68k4mmpcs, bc1q6w9nxfq4jqm0q0npa4g4mhphduf96x4mpxr4fs, bc1q75dk0wwrvdsndlea6eedr4jd65tmu56c37p45x, bc1q7gcclqyqlnd7905c9ye4eh4wt7gz6mpa7w8yaf, bc1q7m045mpa42f4v4nys5ujgdr95q6gw3x6gdfgdw, bc1q864sv0vexxxg76h65t4fg662yel0uwnetal03e, bc1q8eqtzt354m4vrwpqz383pw6wyqrunh0z0zmnay, bc1q928u5p7uchdmmez75nc48kvz2tcm2vddvzmcx6, bc1qd7xfqzuq30jrxtfzcpyxlh9ymrtglyxhlat45u, bc1qdt0n5e86wc9zd093543lzw99y6n8043hdjdzug, bc1qdyv2kx4ezrqhz3422sq6lzlcxtp4wyuru9kn4f, bc1qe2cl8muud5jd8fa8x2nmuke3w223mkcfayj6wg, bc1qev0qyg2nlqws74yzsf85gu6wkakvu7ewl6f72v, bc1qgzafr0wl75mvg2fqkwal8du8xn4x62xlv3zstq, bc1qhx397zzmvgvtjajzrl0q7prkje4040xt75d60y, bc1qj2drfz4wygd6qyanracqfgkj8ql3pzk9jg2dph, bc1qkkca8j2e8jpu3gr0fa7vypnq7e0tjlk8c05g0m, bc1ql9up0uyzamvxp5jc946gqlssv6l9d8w45ujwwu, bc1qn9cr5cu6457nsjhujhn0j65r7a9n2zcyn2phgu, bc1qnycmdumptam7jjwh7cnqrvwj2hawvp7m0p8sjl, bc1qpudtwu30thrp5trrefhaxk36lqs02emncvj6dl, bc1qqd6dlkp6tfffxn4luq2dugudfadv4ynhkyxa7j, bc1qrfvl34rlnn325yl2xakzd2u4l559xwwuk00w38, bc1qsm47zkwzthpy78zz26rupvwks47jq3qgrarxva, bc1qu0vj76cr094h8csxkgk26e9fvw0kaqdqh7ttqr, bc1qv3j9ywavdx98pw8tf0hjejg56sqmxfyuewv8mz, bc1qwgn03h35d3257zpjc9n53cuwtr2u73fllfvgxk, bc1qxkxk8a6jqpu0hdhr0uz6arhf7sanmuz5zewlp4, bc1qyukvn2rn9v2wgkfxquwztp63g3qxkkr9xaf9m0, bc1qzhxshpk9cqlcecy8c4p60y7tlakhs4zlld3f59, 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa Do not send money or cryptocurrency to anyone connected to this report.
