Help Dianne Recover From A Major Financial Scam

Donation protected
Hello to the beautiful person reading this,
I am fundraising for my mom (Dianne Doyle) who has been been the victim of a debilitating scam. Relying on seemingly trusted sources and a con man who used her, my mom put in all her money and more - loans, mortgages, savings - trying to get help with mounting bills, retirement, fix a 1940s house with a broken furnace and recent flood, and a start to follow her dreams after working everyday of her life devoted to her family and making ends meet. Now she's stuck with a debt of $187,000. She'll be working 12 hour days every day for the next 10 years. Please donate anything you can. The donation goal is 205,000 because all donations get a 2.9% fee + 0.30 cents.
Please share this GoFundMe with anyone who could spare some money, anything helps tremendously!


"I'm ashamed, humiliated and devastated to make this post.

But I don't want what happened to me, to happen to anyone else.
So if sharing my story will help prevent this tragedy from happening to anyone else, I will stomach the shame.

Please share with anyone single you know, who might be using a dating app.

I just lost over $185,000 on a cryptocurrency trading scam.

The cryptocurrency itself wasn't the issue, it was that I was tricked into creating an account on what looked like a completely legitimate website, to send my cryptocurrency to. And then day trade it, like stocks on the NASDAQ, etc.

Here's my story:

We met the second week of January on an online dating site called Hinge. But I saw his profile on a dating site called Bumble last fall as well. His name on the dating site was Eons, but when I questioned him about it, he said his real name was Yang Wen, and I can call him Yang.

He said he was Chinese, a wine importer/exporter, with homes in Shanghai, San Francisco, LA and Salt lake City.
He was 33, 6 ft tall.
He sent me lots of pictures of himself doing mundane things, and of his two dogs, Tomato and Potato, poodles, and of his parents, himself as a child, his aunt and grandparents.

He said he was an only child, his father ran a sightseeing company and was a tour guide in China, and his mom was a doctor from Korea, who met his father on vacation in China, married his father, moved there, and then started a beauty salon together.
He said he was raised by his grandparents, and was lonely a lot as a child.

We talked about our gardens and my desire to buy a freeze dry machine, but I said it was too expensive.
He said that wasn't very much money, and he could show me how to trade Cryptocurrency to earn the money.
He said he loved me and wanted to marry me.

He had me create an account on Coinbase, then another account on a trading website called Boerse Frankfurter.
I transferred about $2,000, from a home refinance I was saving to remodel my old house, to Coinbase, bought Ethereum (ETH) and then sent it to my account at the German trading website.

The first time, he told me how much of it to invest, and when to buy and for how long of a "node" or nodule. Usually 60 seconds. He said he did a lot of research so my money would be completely safe. We always made gains, really amazing gains. He told me I could take that first money back out, but I declined, thinking I wanted to continue to trade and learn how to find good trading nodules too. He said he would teach me.

Then he sent me links to websites to take out personal loans so we could make more gains and I could pay off all my debts.
I ended up sending $187,000 to my account at the bogus trading website, from three separate new loans, and the rest of the cash I took out of my home equity last year when I refinanced so I could fix my 1940s house.

Yesterday he said we could take the money out, so I could pay off my loans. It was now worth about $520k of QCC.
When I tried to take the money out, I was told I needed to pay 20% in taxes and fees first, upfront, or I would go to jail or have big fines, because this is an international trading company, so taxes need to be paid upfront.
However this is just more part of the scam. You pay the taxes to a link they provide and the money disappears along with the original investment.

I will attach a couple of pictures if it helps anyone to identify him and stop letting him scam you.

Here are the links to the bogus websites:
