When trying to close my account I was told I need to keep sending money through Zelle for fees and taxes with the promises that my money would be returned. Always an excuse to get me to send more money. Currently still asking for more and that this will be the final request. I have copies of all of our discussions and transactions from Facebook Messenger and bank activity records.

On Feb 20, 2024. I met a girl on Social Media named "Nan Nan" Her full name is Nan Wai Zin Thaw. She lived In Los Angeles, California with her family. texted and asked how am I doing and what am I doing for a living, She described what she does and how to get rich in a year from short-term investment, She texts me every day and forces me to make Cash deposits on Coinbase, Web 3 account. at first, I didn't listen, The next day she sent me a lot of screenshots of pictures of how she earned from trading from the web3 app, and how her life became stable. She Taught me step by step that this fake crypto account was created by her father and her father's friends-operated website. They have been doing this with every individual who is active on Facebook social media, her friends as well doing the same thing to others. She said, She would bring me to make a deal, there are no good trends every day. Asked me to prepare more funds first, and then we will seize the opportunity. In this way, you can get more money from the web3. On Feb 26, 2024, I added more funds. I've been scammed out of almost $7500.00 by a very organized crypto fake app site. I've transferred USDT funds over time to a defi app exchange site. Coinbase through Web3, a couple of I noticed reading online articles, I try to withdraw small funds $2000 The issue is I can't withdraw my funds when I request it gets rejected, I've contacted their customer services but they say I need to deposit more funds $10,000 into a separate account to verify security, then I can withdraw, they will refund back the money and The customer service send this text to me when I questions about why strange thing happened (" Hello, the system has failed to handle the withdrawal business for you many times.

Currently, the system has found that the reason why your withdrawal failed and was not approved is as follows:

Due to the latest notice issued by the U.S. regional government and banks, in order to reiterate that the Federal Reserve Financial Association will not be subject to cryptocurrency transaction restrictions, excessive transaction flow, and suspicion of illegal money laundering, in order to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of your account and funds. Please pay (40%) of the total account balance (24606.5USDT) to the Web3 platform before March 18, 2024, that is:

(9842.6USD) as the withdrawal deposit to authenticate the trading account. After successfully paying the withdrawal deposit, you can handle the withdrawal business in time.

Note: When the platform ensures that your

account and funds are legal. the platform will refund the withdrawal deposit you paid and open a green withdrawal channel for you. If there is a serious overdue period, you cannot recharge USDT within the specified time., in order to ensure the safety of user account funds, the system will freeze the UID: 484340 account funds for investigation by the Financial Crimes Bureau (FinCEN), and require you to recharge and pay 1,000 USDT/overdue, If there is serious overdue period, the platform will submit your information to the relevant departments and you will be charged.") I tried to reach out on social media she blocked me and my Web3 account was locked, It's all part of a sophisticated scam My situation is not good, I've used everything I had borrowed from my friends, and family members as they dupped me into adding more funds to participate in the program. These scammers need to be shut down. I know it may not seem like a large amount of money but it's my life savings, I'm a Student everything I had. These people need to be stopped. I have all the info if needed, Please help me with this matter. I would appreciate any help or advice. If need any more information please let me know. Thank you.

I got an email from someone posing as PayPal regarding a bitcoin/Cryptocurrency transaction. They gave me a number to call about the transaction and I talked with **** ****** from 1-870-345-4916. He had a foreign accent. I gave him my social security number. They were saying it was my local credit union. The credit union told me to call the Better Business Bureau.

This is not a legitimate company. These are the reasons why I was able to conclude this:

1. When I first heard about trading on crypto, it was from a social media post about a well-known Canadian TV personality who endorsed Quantum AI on a breakfast television show in Canada. The transcript from that interview included a link to Quantum AI. I was curious, so I clicked on the link but it took me to Simple Wealth FX.

2. This would have been a red flag but my curiosity won, so I proceeded with setting up a profile, which included a 'basic/starting kit' deposit of 376.28$ CAD using my credit card. After completing my profile, I received an email from a company called Admirria. The email stated that I registered to a newcomer online trading course. This is another red flag.

3. Minutes later, I received a call from Andy Wells. He represented himself as the Registration Consultant for new accounts with Simple Wealth FX and walked me through the process of funding my investment for trading. Minutes later, I received a welcome email from him (his email signature has the Simple Wealth FX name and phone#1-418-740-1839) and a unique code that I am apparently not supposed to share with anyone and is supposed to be used when someone from their company calls me to ensure that they are legit (of course this never happened). I also received an email from Simple Wealth that had the link to my trading dashboard and password.

4. Days later, I received a call from Martin Gray, who introduced himself as my personal Executive Account Manager. He showed me how the dashboard works and also instructed me to set up a profile with Shakepay (a cryto wallet app). Apparently, I needed it in order to move funds between Simple Wealth FX and my bank, since Simple Wealth FX does not accept credit card to fund ongoing trading. Shakepay was also supposed to 'convert' the crypto earnings from Simple Wealth FX to $ currency to allow for the $ to be deposited to my bank account (and vise versa). During the set up process for Shakepay, Martin also instructed me that if Shakepay inquires as to whether a 3rd party is helping me with the registration process with them, that I have to say No, otherwise, Shakepay will raise concerns.

5. After I've set up my profile with Shakepay (days later as Shakepay took 4 days to validate my identity), Martin called me and said that I am now ready to complete setting up my investment profile with them and transferred me to Daniel (from Finance). Daniel jumped on the zoom call and instructed me to send funds between ($3K to $10K) from my bank account to Shakepay. I hesitated because their rationale for asking me to do this is apparently, to set up my quarterly limit with Shakepay. I challenged this because nowhere in Shakepay's FAQ says that this is required. So, the zoom call ended with Daniel dropping the audio session.

6. Minutes later, Martin Gray left me a VM asking why the call ended. So, we continued our communication via email. The main topic was me asking for a convincing rationale as to why I need to send more $ to Shakepay and I also asked how my initial investment will be returned to my credit card. The communication ended with no additional response from him.

7. Minutes later, I received an email from Admirria confirming that my order has been refunded. At the bottom of the email, there was an email for feedback, so I sent my feedback to them about my experience. Within 24 hours, Admirria responded and stated that they are not a trading platform but an online course provider for trading. I mentioned Quantum AI and Simple Wealth FX in my feedback to them and Admirria stated that they are not aware of these 2 companies. This is another red flag because my interactions with Simple Wealth FX triggers an email from Admirria, so, if they are not affiliated, why would they send me an email after my interactions with Simple Wealth FX?

At the end of the day, I am relieved that my initial investment was refunded to my credit card and I did not suffer any loss. But I am sad that companies like this continue to operate and pry on vulnerable individuals who are only looking for ways to improve their financial status, especially with the current economic situation.

I am reaching out to inform the BBB, specifically the ScamPulse.com in St. Louis where I currently reside, about a mass cryptocurrency scam that has left my boyfriend with a loss of $450,000 in a matter of seconds. Upon further research and investigation, it appears there are THOUSANDS if not MORE crypto users, specifically using the platform Raydium, being affected by what I believe can be categorized as a phishing scam. It appears Raydium may be involved in this scheme, where when their platform fails to conduct a "swap" a "failed transaction" error appears leading the user to believe the trade did not go through, and allows the user to resubmit the transaction, however, the original transaction DID go through and the user is doubled charged, (and raydium collects double the fees users are required to pay each transaction).

Hello, a good " friend" of mine that goes by the name of "Tony Davern." Recently scammed me and many others out of thousands of dollars out of cryptocurrency, I was a victim of his and lost $2k ($3k now due to the changes in crypto) I am very upset because I have known Tony for a while, and would not expect this behavior from him. The Imgur link I send to you is him admitting to scamming me and others out of thousands of dollars and acting like nothing affected us. https://imgur.com/gallery/ReQXkv2

I bought the username *** on twitter/x.com for $2k bitcoin back in 09/16/2023, 2 weeks later he pulled back the account and blocked me.

He is currently trying to cover his tracks after scamming people out of thousands of dollars from innocent people https://imgur.com/gallery/B8eyREA

He is also using other accounts to scam multiple by selling them and then resetting the passwords, taking the accounts he sold to the people and keeping their money (he’s most definitely scammed people out of more than $15k+ he’s still on the loose and is continuing to do this)

He also doxed an innocent victim for no reason, accused them of doing things he has no proof of, and showing it to his audience of 4.5k people on Twitter/X.com

I bought it through Robocon - a Bitcoin company. The company is called softcoininvest.com and I paid $1,000 and it gave me $800 through them. It is on Facebook and it is a malicious site. It shows that I have $1700.00 on there. It is a scam.

Yesterday I received an email from PayPal thanking me for my order for Bitcoin. The email said that $800 would be taken out of my checking account. There was a telephone number included and I called and spoke with someone named Kevin. I told him I didn't make an order. He said that there has been an attempt of almost $2,000 from account. He said that I would have to go to Walgreens or Walmart and get two separate Apple gift cards for $500. I went to Walgreens and they would only let me purchase one $5000 gift card. He told me I may need to go to CVS to get the second $500 card. The purchase wouldn't go through. He stayed on the phone with me the entire time. He had me download Any Desk. He told me to take a picture of the gift card and then they would put the $500 back into my account. When the second purchase didn't go through he said I should go to my bank and get $500 cash. I went to my bank and explained the situation and they said it was a scam. The person at Commerce bank called security. They said my bank accounts would be closed and I would get a new savings and checking account. They told me to to go to Best Buy Geek Squad to have them clear data off of my phone. Best Buy Geek Squad cleared my phone and provided me with paperwork to take back to the bank. Throughout this experience the scammer was so convincing. He had my bank account information and mailing address, although I'm not sure how he would've received this information. It never dawned on me that I was being scammed until my bank said that it was a scam.

I invested in Bitcoin from a family friend on Facebook not knowing her account was hacked. I wired $3200 to this person who invested it & after messaging every day for over a month finally told me the account was hacked & if I wanted my money I would have to send them $2K. I set up an account with Coinzoom with their instructions & when the money went their they sent it to Asset Capital Holdings. I still get an email every other day stating money is added to my account. When I tried to wire some of the money to my bank it says it's pending & some were successful but never deposited. I contacted them through email & chat on the site & was told I had to pay fees, give them my SS # , Phone # & front/back of my DL to verify my identity. When I questioned why they needed that when they didn't need it at sign up they said it was for the IRS 1099 form. When I asked for their tax ID number to verify they even had a business they stopped the chat. I have a copy of the transactions from the beginning & I saved all messages & took pictures of the chat. I told them on chat that I would gladly give them my banks phone # to verify my account. They told me I was not following their rules & until I did they could not release my money.

The scam gives an offer from an account telling you to use a referral code to earn free crypto currency. Once you create an account, you cannot remove it and tou are charged fees for transfers and cannot withdraw the funds.

I was notified there was a problem with my bank and I was asked to help them solve the problema and identify the person involved in my bank. I was told to go to the bank and withdraw funds and take them to a Bit Coin machine. The money would be incripted and allow the people that initated the scam to locate the person in the bank what was dishonest. They said they would use bank funds to make this happen. They had already got into my account and transferred the money from my savings to checking. When I asked the bank for the $4500 they gave it to me. I knew that I didn't have that much money in checking so I thought that what they were telling me was true. I with drew the money and took it to the Bit Coin machine that I was told to. I realized there was something wrong and immediately called Bit Coin. They were able to see where I had deposited the money and prevented it from being transfered to the scammers. I was told be Bit Coin that it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get the money back and that they would keep 10%. I wonder if Bit Coin is in on the scam. Ihave not received any money back. The date of the scam was April 3rd 2023.
