Is there anything i should message this person? Along the lines of spreading false information to people such as “i have stolen alot of money from you” is a xxxx and also who you or got some to impersonate a police officer is a serious crime and will not be taken lightly.

i have recorded a video on another phone of the voicemail, you have to call a number to listen to it, it dosent show the date and time of the call, but says it vocally before the voicemail plays, from the automated voicemail message. Yeah i have messaged the people telling them its untrue etc to the ones who have reached out to me, some of them have removed me but no big deal, didn’t know them personally just though an online game/online friend group. Its what was said that makes people think differently “he has stolen alot of money from me” (it was sent willingly, with no force or no pressure), what was also said to some people they know i play with/talk to online is that i “prey on girls for money”(which i never have ever done!) ”under police investigation, not the only report had about him made to the police” no police has contacted me, the last time i was in trouble was for a speeding fine. just annoying because people look at you differently. i have took screenshots of all messages they have been sending to people. this is crazy!

He hasnt posted it online publicly just direct messaging people that he knows i know as they have come to me and told me

Yes the ‘friend’ knew roughly the area which is a big area, but not the exact address. also this person has been messaging other online friends of mine through social media saying “i know you know him just wanted to make you aware he is in serious trouble with the police, he is under investigation at the moment, he has stolen alot of money from me and is in big trouble. i just wanted to make you aware so you can protect yourself and if you have any information you’d like to share to stop him that would be so helpful”

They do not know my full name just my nickname and do not know my address which i want to keep it that way. the voicemail was sent on the 3rd feb. Said it saves for 7 days, i cant download or anything i can record it on another device but not sure if thats helpful? Or should i definitely go into the station today? What do i exactly say im sure the police will ask why are you getting these calls etc.. how much of the situation to i tell them etc if they do ask..

True! The whatsapp messages state that it was a bet and i said are you going to stick to your word when it came to paying the bet to me and he goes “as long as you trade it for me” i did agree on that and we agreed on a % split of profit but yeah i get what you mean

im so appreciative of you guys. in the first call he did mention a name which i can not remember, but its so true they would of left a case ref number in the voicemail if it was legit When i report it, do i tell them the whole situation about whats happened? About me winning a bet with someone i met and became friends with online and saying ill trade it on the forex market for them though.. and they sent it to me via bitcoin (crypto) and it got lost and now I'm getting these threats? And people impersonating the police.

I don’t remember the name of the police officer that apparently called but the name of the station they stated is in the voicemail. so should i call the police station mentioned and ask if its legit? or do i go to my local police station straight away and report it?

Hi! I completely forgot to mention this. could this be a real police phone call? but i got a call on saturday 3rd feb from a no caller id. I cant remember exactly what was said but along the line of.. hi, this is pc xxx from xxxx station, there has been allegation made against you for theft and false representation. I at that point just said i dont know what you are talking about and hung up. They then tried to call back i didnt answer and they left a voicemail which said this in the exact words… “ hello sir i believe you just put the phone down on me, its the police again, if you can make your way to xxx police station on thursday between 10 oclock i can deal with you then, if not im sure you know the person whos made this allegation if you can get back the money to them, what ill do ill give u till thursday if not ill be applying for a court warrant and ill see you then

Yeah i guess it wouldn't, he still sent it willingly so i guess it irrelevant

But dosent the fact i sent the wallet code via whatsapp which is connected to my phone number stand for anything?

Thank you all for your advice, what is the likelyhood this person will take it to court? Im sure they will get advice from a solicitor. What would the solicitor even say would they just tell them not worth it as sent it off your own back

Dx- Ok thanks! You guys are so helpful! Appreciate you majorly. ethel - no i never said i was a professional or had any formal qualification just said i have had success in trading in the past

Spoke to this person for a while, british accent also they are well known verified on instagram . I was only trying to make us both money but failed. When you say paper trail what do you mean? would the whatsapp messages he sent me of screen shots of him sending the bitcoin to be enough?

On whatsapp there was messages, it initially started off him losing a bet on a game which was for £10,000 but he said just trade it for me instead. The messages on whatsapp also just show him sending screen shots of his confirmation of sending bitcoin crypto to my crypto wallet which is just a code. The amount was initially £10,000 total of then later sent 5k so total £15k. No emails, no letters. there are voice recordings of calls him saying to me “if its not done anything and 3 months have past and gone down to the stop loss by the end of jan ill just need it back it as it hasnt done anything is that doable or possible” i said previously in whatsapp messages wont close it till the trade is done as expect it to go up alot more. In the voice recording to him saying is it possible i said “probably not if it goes down then not really” as i said it was going to most likely going to go back up alot more. i will ignore from now on! Just worried i didn’t expect to lose anything lesson learned never do business with “friends”
