Complaint narrative:
Hi I was scammed and told that I had a job opportunity and if I completed task I would be able to withdraw all the money in crypto once the task were completed. So they told me I could with draw the money once I completed the tasks the first few times I did withdraw about {$100.00}. So I continued working then I ran into these combination tasks. I was told that I would have to deposit more crypto to finishs the tasks because they brought my account negative. So I did it a few more times till i realized as soon as I deposited money I was running into these tasks. And finally realized Im being scammed. I thought I wasnt because I was put in group chats where others made it seem like they were making money. This all went on from about XXXX XXXX. I reached out to cash app and they told me first they couldnt help because it was crypto transactions so the ones I did on XXXX  I reached out and they said they couldnt do anything because all the transactions went through properly. The dates and amounts for the transactions are XX/XX/XXXX for {$40.00} in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$43.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX {$100.00} in XXXX sent {$74.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  {$530.00XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX {$100.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX {$95.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX {$38.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$190.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX {$540.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX and {$1000.00} sent in crypto.

Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request. 

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after XXXXhree written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law. 

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.
