I received a text, replied to text and told the person that it was a wrong number. The person was female, said she was sorry and them proceeded to introduce herself as "Diana." She asked me my name, and then later sent a photo of herself and asked me to send her a photo of me. Our conversations went on.. A few days later she told me was into finance, working for her uncle out of Los Angeles, California. She never mentioned the name of the company she works for or the name of her uncle. She asked if I was into trading. I said no, and she said, no worries, I can teach you. I said no, you probably charge too much and she laughed. Time went on, she sent me a couple of apps to download and open accounts. I didn't used her apps instead I downloaded them from the Apple iPhone App Store. She convinced me to open accounts in Kraken and MetaMask apps. I set up accounts, including copies of drivers license and I think SSN also, I initially transferred $1000.00 to the Kraken account to get started. That money was later exchanged with MataMask for ETH currency; from there it was sent to the JUBI Exchange in the form of ETH and then converted into what looked like USD currency. We did a few transactions in JUBI and in a few days, that $1000 started to grow. She kept pushing me to increase my deposit in order to grow my portfolio. I was hesitant but went ahead and made an International wire transfer ($50,000) to JUBI via a bank in Vietnam. That money was deposited to JUBI within 24 hrs. She would tell she was a professional and she had a passion for trading and new when good trading nodes would appear. She would messaged via TeleGram to open JUBI site and get ready to trade. She would tell me to Buy UP or Buy Down and the amount; she was 100% correct on each trade. Soon that $50,000 grew more and more but she kept insisting to increase my balance, even suggesting I withdraw IRA or take loans out to deposit more money into the account. Saying the more money you have to invest, the quicker your earnings will grow. We never discussed how the taxes would work, she kept saying that everyone pays taxes on their earnings. The day came to where she said, your earnings are high now ($278,000.00) it's time to withdraw and enjoy the money. She instructed me to withdraw all the earnings, and that after the funds were transferred, we could put some funds back into JUBI and continue to trade. It was at this stage were things went sour. The JUBI customer service representative (via TeleGram) told me that they would verify taxes owed and would get back me to me within 24 hrs. They came back and told me taxes to be around $56,000.00 on the earnings alone, normally the tax is 25% on earnings, but would give me a 5% discount since it was my first withdrawal. They said that I had to deposit the $56,000.00 USD in order to complete the transfer. I asked why not simply deduct that taxes from the earnings and transfer the rest to my bank account. They said that was not the way it works, that I had two weeks to deposit the taxes fee otherwise my account would be in default and would accrue 5% daily interest. If I didn't deposit that money my credit and work life would be affected. I asked for the withdrawal to be canceled and was told it was not possible because the transfer was locked until the taxes were paid and funds released. I asked if they were going to send tax information to the IRS and was told taxes are paid to the Singapore government and not the US government and to not to worry, the US government would not be involved and I could enjoy my funds after tax bill was deposited. I was also told they are a foreign exchange, only responsible to the Singapore government. I spoke with a financial professional in the US and he told me not to deposit more money, that it was a scam and to consider this a learning experience. I am not going to deposit the tax money and in essence, my account would go into default. Please let me know if you need additional information.

This individual name alike volkoff and his partner joice pumuswan a Thai lady are scammers and basically con artist to get people to pay fees and run off. They will lie and get the people to wait until nothing happens. These are two legitimate crooks. Stay away. Bangkok police has warrants for their arrest.
