Friend on social media mention to inbox her about flipping money through bitcoin. I have messaged her and did everything i was told using my cashapp. I then sent $200 for IRS taxes and was told a deposit of $2500 will be sent to me. I never got the money and then I was asked to send my email address and Zelle name which I did; another email was sent to me asking to pay $500 for company fee. I asked my friend about this and the response was that she had to pay it as well. I then sent $300 via Zelle and I haven't heard anything from either party after the last money was sent.

Met the person on Facebook dating and then switched to WhatsApp to communicate , she told me about BTC investing so I set up an account and tried it out but when it came time to withdraw I hav to pay a fee after a few weeks I finally payed the fee and now it just says processing for the last 3 days …. I believe I lost my money because there is no reply from the customer service or the girl who introduced me to investing. The app platform they used is called CoinCap

This began on 2.10.23. I have a Robin Hood app. I check my stocks every day. I got a message on my Robin Hood app saying I had a deficit. I own 2 Chinese stocks, and I have to pay a fee to have them. I googled the phone number for Robin Hood and I called and spoke to a man with an Indian accent. He asked me to download Anydesk app and through it he looked at my Robin Hood account. He said Robin Hood is changing to a new application, and that is why I received the original notice on my Robin Hood. We talked for 11 minutes, and he said he would call the next day. He called back from 804-715-1100. He said his name was Adam. He said in order for you to have a new application, we're going to ask you to sell your stocks and buy bitcoin Ethereum. He told me to buy $4900 in Ethereum, which would be 2 1/2 shares. He called every day at 8:30 am and asked me to sell a few more stocks. This went on for weeks. By March, everything was sold, and he told me he would call on Monday, and I would be able to log back into my Robin Hood account, and for my inconvenience I would receive 10% of the total in my Robin Hood account. On Monday, March 6th, I was waiting for his call and I decided to check the account. That is when I saw there was just $49 in it. On Tuesday, he hadn't called, so I was thinking maybe I had been scammed. I called Robin Hood and left them a vm asking for a call back. Robin Hood called and asked for my name, SS number and address. The representative said they would turn this over to their investigation team. Then I got an email saying they had seen red flags in my account, and they were freezing it and shutting it down. Then I got an email saying they would return the funds to my account. Two weeks ago, I got an email saying they would not return the funds to my account as I had authorized the transactions. I have filed a police report and a report with the Ohio Attorney General's office.

I lost crypto due to being hacked so contacted iotspynet. I knew the chances were close to zero to get stolen crypto back they stated they could retrieve it. Stated they located it and I needed to but crypto ($800)into this specific ledger to retrieve it. Then they needed more which I didn't comply as it's obvious it's a scam. They use agents via Telegram and I participated to see where it would go knowing I was being played. They even admitted they made a mistake and promised to refund me the crypto ( all by email). These are working under the radar and are scamming folks who have already been scammed. The are promoted on TrustPilot website and the posts I put on there were deleted, so also this site by allowing this are endangering folks to be scammed again. I post on other sites and there are others who have been scammed too.

They have a good looking website looks very proffesional but thes people are crooks.

I just wish someone would really investigate them has many others will be scammed too.

Thanks....

I follow this guy on Youtube Jaspreet Singh or Minority Mindset. I liked the content so I decided to follow him on Instagram. A few days later he contacted me about a cryptocurrency mentorship type of program. I said I was interested. He directed me to a website autoassets.trade where I made an account. I verified my account with my I.D. because I believed it to be legit. He told me I needed $500 to start the trading process. After a couple of days I accumulated the money and made the transfer. Within hours of the investment I began to see progress. Within 2 days my account had made at least $1,000. I was happy to see the numbers go up but I didn't understand how it was happening. Whenever I asked a question I wouldn’t receive a straight answer. Then I was told to pay a signal fee of $1300 in order to withdraw the money. I didn't know what a signal fee was and I didn't have $1300 to spend on anything. I told him that and his response was "Well get it". I again told him I wouldn't have that money and if he told me in the beginning this process would take $1800 I would have turned him down. Anytime I asked a question I was just told things like. "I have helped a lot of people from different countries and they benefit from my company as well... You can only benefit from my company if you work with me very well and follow my instructions". So I told him I didn't want to continue to do business anymore because this isn't what I was told it was. I asked him to cancel and delete my account and I was told the account could not be deleted. I stopped responding to him when I told him I was filing a complaint with the FTC, CFTC, and the BBB. He now wants me to pay $500 and he will pay the rest and I would pay him back once the money is withdrawn. I still have not responded. Looking deeper into his profile I may not be speaking with the actual CEO of Minority Mindset because his profiles say Minority Mindset Set. All the red flags you see after you have made a bad decision.

On October 18th I was contacted by a scammer on FB claiming to be representing Bitcoin. I very stupidly sent 360 to Bitcoin through Cash app. These two people Brandon Nations and Tolu Adegbite stole the 360 from Bitcoin. Bitcoin was of no help and neither was cash app. I will never use cash again. They are also scammer They allowed 2 completely unauthorized thugs to steal the Bitcoin money.

I started working with a person in September 2022 about Bitcoin and she stated she could help me with making money in Bitcoin (Cryptocurrency). During our conversations The three apps on the phone we worked in were:

• Crypto.com- Exchange app

• Monex-Crypto Trading takes place here

• Authenticator

We did 3 second(s), 60s and 90s trades. I invested $49,500 and came up with $524,457 profit while trading in Crypto with this person's help. When we started to withdraw the profit that I earned, I learned the money was frozen and it couldn’t be withdrawn. So, Romex customer service stated” Hello, due to the large amount of your withdrawal, the system has detected that your account is at risk, and your assets have been frozen to ensure the safety of your funds. You need to pay a guarantee fund of 8% of the account fund, and the guarantee fund will be included in the account, and provide a personal ID, a handwritten guaranteed letter and take a video to read it aloud. If you need to unfreeze, the funds can be traded or withdrawn after verification.” I was told I had to pay $42,385 out of my pocket to unfreeze the funds which will be added back to the profit. So, I got $22,385 and ask the person helping me to fund the other $20k which she did. Then later Romex customer support states “Dear: users, based on your profits, your tax rate is 22%. The total amount of your account is: $577,826 and the tax-free funds are. 53,369 (the sum of your deposits and risk margin is the tax-free funds available for personal income tax). Your total profit on the Monex-Crypto exchange is: $524,457. Profit (524,457) multiplied by your tax rate (22%) = $115,380. Your personal income tax is $115,380. Taxes are collected on behalf of the Monex-Crypto exchange and forwarded to the IRS, and you are not required to file a tax return for your cryptocurrency profits on your annual tax return so I need to pay $61,021 out of my pocket before I can withdraw my profits and I have to provide my driver’s license. Romex threaten me that they would fine me 0.01% if the tax was not paid in the timeframe, they gave me. So, I gather these funds and send to Romex so I can start my profit withdrawal. Then I get another message from Romex which states “Romex Customer Service: I'm very sorry, your tax bracket has changed. You can't pay taxes according to the 22% tax bracket. The tax man made a mistake in calculating the tax for you according to your original tax bracket. Your correct tax bracket is 34.5%. Now you need to make up the remaining 12.5% tax before you can withdraw your profits. Romex Customer Service: So, you still need to pay $65,557 in taxes on your profits.” I contacted my financial advisors for advice and they feel I have been scammed up to this point. I looked up the area code (332) for Romex Customer Service and couldn't find a country with this area code either.

I asked to invest a small amount in bitcoin and asked questions. I started with Christian Jones. He stated if I invested $50 I could make up to $500. He stated " in 6hours you'll get paid." I had to go on bitcoin.com and cash app several times. I started with $55 due to blockchain charges. I understood. I received an address. I bought. Christian told me he was from Idaho City. Then in order to get my money he kept stating a bunch of fees for the mining machine and payouts. The amount I had to deposit kept going up to $200 then another $100 each having an excuse of why he couldn't pay out my money. Then another $ 300 stating it was because my bitcoin went up. Then another $250 to create my wallet. This went on and on. I asked for a manager. Don Scott took over the account. Don stated my wallet hadn't been authorized by blockchain and I needed to pay the fee. "That's $80 and you'll get both your profit and your money instantly" Don stated " don't worry you'll get it all back" "Definitely 100%" I paid the $80. I got nothing. Then Don wanted $30 more stating they only received $55 of the $80. I did the $30. The next day Don said He couldn't find the $30. Then Don wanted $150 more stating for charges due to the bitcoin going up. Don stated "Just trust me and follow the procedures" I asked "if I put my money in, will I get my money back after" Don stated "Yes 100 percent. " He kept needing more money with fee after fee. I begged and pleaded with him for 6 hours to just give me my money back. The last amount Done wanted was $300. I told him I gave him all my money. He told me to borrow more money from someone. I begged and pleaded for my money and They just kept giving me one excuse after another. I did every step they said as they said don't worry you will have your money back in 10 minutes. They kept telling me to calm and pay to get my money back. They said I need to find a way to get more money. I told them both in the beginning of this I am disabled and on SSDI. I have a limited income. They kept telling me to keep paying in order to get my money. I even showed them my bank account was empty and I begged. I never asked them to keep investing. I was under the impression this was a one time one payment investment. They told me I would get my money back immediately after each transaction, but they still haven't given me my money back. I asked questions and it seemed they would not explain. instead they would say....just trust me or just trust the process. I asked for my money back in the beginning and for them not to carry on. Now, They have all my money. I have none. I lost $1400.

Lost $10,000 to a cryptocurrency scammer,Fortunately I met someone who had also been scammed and he referred me to fill a crypto investigating firm complaint form:bit.ly/3i3bep7 that helped in tracking and recovery of lost crypto funds, eventually they traced the IP of those scammers and used a back end to access their account and recovered all my lost crypto funds.
In case anyone has also been scammed once again here is the link once again to fill their complaint form: bit.ly/3i3bep7 .I hope this awareness gets to whoever has been scammed before to help recover their lost funds.

Meet through Facebook dating immediately went to whatsapp talked romantically sweet talk and everything but conviently she's on a business trip in Malaysia she had background story of her amd also side events that were happening in her life. She spoke what she does business in beauty and beverage shows and gives financial wealth advice which is good advice but how she executed was for the scam introduced znzkltd and her gains then asked about it and offered an invite code and it was a last one of hers. Traded small usdt and followed her calls lost once and won many times eventually gained 4k in the platform but then later days of trading she suggested entering in the top tier trades which required 100k she then lent me 100k to trade and made 361k told to with draw and had to pay fee to get it. Didn't pay because previous I had p8t inmy own money and payday loans into and 10k is alot to me of fees. So I still have her in contacts but playing it out and see how she interacts with me. Looked up pig butcher and came across all sorts of relatable co tent and met this .
