Okay, so theres a family emergency that is going to cost me way more than I have. In fact, I am fucking broke. Called TD today and tried to cash everything out, even though it says its cash available for withdrawl, they actually wont cut me a check until tuesday. I HAVE to have the cash before tomorrow. So, I am selling it for 4750. You can actually just hang on to the account if you want until I pay you back, or keep it. You can seriously cash it out Tuesday. It's basically liek letting me hold the money so you can go make 1k.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!

I may be wrong, but this seems to have scam written all over it. Based on how you explained things, it sounds like you came across a stolen TD investment account and you’re attempting to sell it for BTC since it’s very difficult to cash out such an account unless you are indeed the account holder. If this really was your account, you’d know that their primary method of withdrawal is ACH transfer or wire, not a check. A wire could be in your bank account the very next day (if not the same day) for a fee that is significantly less than $1000. The only caviat to this is that you can only withdraw to verified bank accounts on file matching the account holders name, and they usually will require that you answer additional security questions before initiating any withdrawals of that size even to verified accounts. You also would need to sell any assets in your brokerage account prior to any balance being available for withdrawal, which doesn’t match what you stated in your post. None of this is making sense at all. In addition to all of this, I think most will find it hard to believe that you “don’t know shit about investing or TD” yet you’ve put $6000+ into such an account when its clear that you don’t have money in abundance just lying around.
To top it all off, as ruletheworld stated, it’s not legal for anyone other than the account holder to make decisions on such an account even if by some small chance the rest was legitimate. All of this in conjunction with the fact that you’re account here is brand new, and nobody is going to go near this as it wreaks of a scam. Might want to actually put forth some effort into it next time if you actually want even one person to take you seriously, scam or not.
