This scam started back in February! The person‘s name is Lydia. She says she lived in New York City. Matter fact, she moved. And got involved with bitcoin. I was putting money into my cash app, And return money into bitcoin. I was also using strike wallet. And Lydia was doing the investing for me. When it became $63,000 that was supposed to be coming back to me in this investment, I never got the money!!!!! I was investing my own money paychecks into this! What’s up customer service was to pay me and put the money into my arm in my account, but I never got it!!! I was scammed out of my money. I have over 8000 text messages from this person! I have the phone number that she was using. I blocked her forever contacting me again. I did make a police report. At the end of the day, I’m not gonna get what you owed to me is 63 $3000 that I’m out of money 63,000 money!

I was approached on WhatsApp by a girl and we were talking for about 2-3 months. She asked me if I ever invested in crypto and I said alittle bit and she was telling me about this crypto Onchain that she does. She said she gets 2-6% compounded interest daily. I invested $1,500 at first. Then she said that if I ever get a chance to deposit more money in my account that I would be getting between $900-$1000 a day if I deposited $25,000. The name she was using is.Shino Leiu. When I deposited the $25,000 a box came down that I received a reward. If I bring my account up to $62,000 that my reward would be $175,000 for 78 Ethereum and she was so happy for me, but I didn’t have the required money to deposit and she said she could help me with $5000 and I said I still don’t have enough money to do that. This was all taking place on crypto Onchain. Then she told me that she could give me up to $20,000 and I told her I still didn’t have enough to collect my reward.. While the reward was going on, I wasn’t collecting any percentage towards the money I had in the account so I asked her about it and she said you won’t collect any until the week is up. After my week was up I was still unable to collect any percentage on my money. I called customer service and asked them about it and they said that they’re gonna hold my money for a year and I won’t be able to collect any interest. I then went to Crypto.com and asked them about it, and I said I would like to withdraw my money from the Onchain because it wasn’t letting me. They went in to my Onchain account and said that I don’t have any money in there, so I sent them a screenshot where it said I had a little over $27,000 and they told me that it was withdrawn and I said how can it be withdrawn I didn’t withdraw it. I asked them if they were going to get me my money back and they said that I went through a third-party and they took your money. I said how can they get into my wallet when they don’t have my wallet address that I have facial recognition and my 12 words to protect my account and they said I’m sorry, but you don’t have any money in your account and we can’t do anything to help you because you used a third-party

Good afternoon!

I am contacting you for guidance on how to proceed, as I am one of the victims of the financial scam carried out by MGM Trader Ltd and Pay Intermediate LLC, the latter registered in Midleton/Delaware.

The role of Pay Intermediate LLC was to receive the amounts via international transfer, Paypal and cryptocurrencies. In reality, it operated all the financial part for MGM Trader Ltd, which is not registered in any way. Pay Intermediate has a valid registration in Delaware and I believe that by reaching those responsible for this company, we will be able to reach the scammers and eliminate the series of scams that are being carried out here in the United States.

It started out as a wrong number, she said i was so pol and she wanted to help me make money through gold futures, i made a little mo ney and she said if i invest more we come make thousands, after about 5 weeks, i was at the 500,000 mark, i said lets get the money, she said I would have to go through Bitpoint, Bitpoint said I had to pay the income tax first, I paid it, then I had to send them my coinbase address, miraculously I sent the wrong address, even though it was copied and pasted, then Bitpoint said I would have to pay a 30% un freezing fee of 150000 dollars yo get the money, by now I have realized I was scammed

Trade Bitcoin with AI you go through some traders and pick one. I started with $150 and Natalie brought it up to $500 in two weeks the I dumped another $1500. At $2000 we started to climb quick and before you know it I was at 200k. Time to transfer from my wallet to cash app. Oh hold on there fella there is a 2% charge on that, so I started to pay it at $800 then I told her that's it I have no more money well she dropped in another$1000 then she said she had a friend to drop in another $1000 and I was to pay the balance. Well I'm out of resources and I can't pay it, she's said to earn it and give her the $1100 balance and the 200k that's I my wallet will all go to cash app. Currently we are still arguing about who is to pay that balance. I'm not going to pay it so I said let's sell the whole platform you can buy the 200k platform for 146k. That's a great deal right. One charge after another you get to the finish line and oops there is another charge. Unreal.

Appeared as an interview by Marc Carney with Rosemary Barton. Looked totally legit. Prime Minister was touting a great way for Canadians to invest in a Canadian only Crypto! Sounded/looked so real!!! Same "interview" repeated touting CanCap, then CanFirst!

By then I suspected a scam. I sent a text to the British Company, describing the scam ads, and was reimbursed immediately.

Woman named Beatrice Zhu or Beatrice Lin contacted me thru Facebook using a post I made 4 years ago as a starter asking for more information. As we progressed she began talking if a meeting. Eventually she asked me to invest in bitcoin through her. She was very intelligent and caring and included pictures of herself and her children. After we started conversations she deleted her FB account.

Similar scenario. “Marjorie Cunningham” tried over a period of months 2023-2024 to get me to transfer cash into WTO. I saw no security and was very suspicious of WTO cheerleaders who claimed huge profits.

When I called PGIM, they denied any knowledge of MC or WTO.

Very suspicious altogether, so I never sent them a dime.

My Facebook account was hacked because someone tried to use a fraudulent Instagram account and hacked my Facebook. They sent me an email saying I had to go to a bitcoin ATM to get my account unhacked by them. The money did not transfer to me. So I lost $4500 thru this scam. There is no way to get the money back. I called the FTC first to report it and then called the BBB.

I was contacted by Tina Davis by text messages then switched to telegram. She asked if she could help me make money to pay off my medical bills. I agreed. I sent money to the Bitpoint platform. We did some investing and made some good profits. When I went to withdraw my money, they said she added money to my account without permission so they considered that money laundering. I explained to them that I contacted their employee and they added her funds to my account because I couldn’t add it myself as I didn’t have the authority to do so. So then they said if I pay $26k dollars and an additional $150k they would add that money to my account and release my funds. If I had that kind of money I wouldn’t have had to try and make money to pay my bills. Please be aware if she contacts you. All I want is my $42k back and I don’t care about the rest.

It’s a Tesla company token that they were offering $.95 and in a few weeks it’s gonna be worth 1295 and the more money you put down the more bonuses you get. There’s a withdrawal feature, but it’s not applicable so I could not take back out. I just wanna know if this is a scam. I’m pretty sure it is and I think my son fell for it also for 1000.

The scammer told me to buy crypto-currency and said that I was earning interest every day on that deposit. I was told to keep on putting in more money in order to buy more crypto but I was unable to withdraw from my account which they initially said I could do. I was told that once I reached $100.00 of profit, I could withdraw the money. I was prompted to keep depositing money in order to get to the $500.00 amount. They said that the more money I put in, the more profit I would make. The withdrawal function did not work and now the website no longer exists. My deposits cannot be returned to me.

He approached me as a friend on the internet and deceived me by saying that he would make profits from short-term trading of ETH and BTC with USDT. He put his money into my account and built trust, leading me to make the injection. When I tried to withdraw the money, he considered the money my friend had put in as money laundering, so he blocked my account and told me that I had to put in 10% more before I could withdraw it.

I was approached by Mr Roberts about a crypto investment with his platform called Newlineinvestments, and I had to invest between $500-$1,000 to start, but he continue adding “FEES” and never sent me any profits or anything from this investment, after about 4 months and $3,000 in “fees” I told him that I couldn’t afford anything else, so he became disrespectful and demanded another fee be paid before profits could be sent.
