“He told me we need to secure my finances, we need to secure my funds so the government won’t seize them. Because what they’re going to do now is that they’re going to take all my funds from all of my accounts to make sure I’m not going to run away, or whatever,” she said. Vicky was then instructed to photograph the cards and pin numbers on the back and text those to a secure government phone number. She says she tried several times but the texts wouldn’t go through, that’s when David became agitated and told her she wasn’t cooperating with the investigation. Vicky says that eventually the texts were delivered.
“He keeps telling me how I’m not cooperative and I’m so in trouble and this is going to get played in court tomorrow, and I’m like what court?” she said.“I was just wiped completely, I couldn’t believe what just happened,” she said.
