I received a messenger message from Shannon Stokley who I'm friends with on FB. She said to follow her instructions on cash app and I'd receive $2000. She directed me to screenshot every step of the way and send a screenshot. She directed me to buy $50 in Bitcoin and then to send Bitcoin to this wallet address:

I did not send the Bitcoin so she kept messaging saying it was not a scam and that once I proved I was a human I would receive my $2000. She sent me pictures of herself holding her ID saying she received the money and send a screenshot of a balance over $2000. She said to trust her that it's legitimate.

The app promised to provide you with ad packages to watch and earn daily. After 2 weeks or so [until then everything worked fine] the suddenly said i have to recruite 3 people with a value of 450 total in packages so i will receive my full access to my packages. I wrote the service via telegram and they said i have to do it or will get cuts each week. So they cut my account by 87 % Today. I tried to withdraw 10 dollars and it did not send me a verification code to my email. It is a total scam. And i got it thru a referral. Please make sure they will be investigated. Totally wrong. And the ads they show a big brand names...so it ruins reputation of these companies as well.

They call you and ask you if you would benefit from having better listings. ask if you want a purchase order and claim that it is legally binding that you agreed to services. No Proof of services are ever sent and no confirmations are ever sent until 1 year after the initial call. They use a recording that shows you agreeing that something would be nice and pretend that you said I accept the services. And then email a bill.

Crypto/Forex/Binary Scam started in Facebook as someone in victim group mentioned a person by the name of Benard Coelho Gilberto that helped him. His profile states he is Senior Account Manager at Forex and Binary Option Trading. There were testimonies on his page of supposedly people he has helped. I had asked him more about it via Facebook Messenger and he stated invest in my money will generate good wins and profit returned after 7 days trading & withdrawal of all my total profit successfully with 100% guaranteed investment safe and secured. He even stated he is very transparent in his trading, all that is required of his clients are trust, commitment and cooperation for him to be able to make it right with victim like he did with other clients and once these are in place, he believes we should be able to maintain a long-term business relationship. He provided info where to send the money: Name: CAROL BROOKS

Routing# 084302300

Account number# 17020964

Bank: Hardin County Bank, Savannah, TN

This transaction (wire transfer) occurred on 04/06/2023. Then on 04/12/2023 he asked for more money for long term investment and that is when victim started questioning things. Victim thought it’s legit but with asking for more money it raised a red flag to victim because he got pushy. He said I will have full access to monitor my account till transactions is completed in seven days. He wanted me to register at http://sureinvesttrade.com/ or https://cryptosolution.trade.com and get back to him immediately. Victim didn’t register because of website legitimacy. Victim has also reported to bank on 04/12/2023 and called receiving bank on 04/13/2023 for further investigation.

Person came into my store offering an advertising spot on all to go menus for a hot new restaurant. He gave me his card, Chris Cook Account Executive at Beacon Marketing Strategies and showed me the setup of a recent menu he made for another local restaurant. He said they were still designing the menu and filling out the advertisers. I paid an upfront fee and there were two more subsequent fees taken out of my account that were supposed to cover a certain amount of time. After another business reached out to me to tell me they he had used my shop's name to get them onboard and the restaurant had not paid him to do this or even contracted him. He has been seen on the street with his backpack of materials attempting this same scam in a different part of the neighborhood.

This guy wanted my husband to invest tried to establish a relationship. My husband is successful and he asked for 100K originally and settled for 10K my husband was skeptical. He promised a return and we shouldnt have fell for it. We wired him 10K in February 21 and my husband got scared. Our lawyers warned us and we believed this guy. We started to ask questions after we sent the money (missing linkedin photo) my husband signed documents and he removed the clause that if we had cold feet we could get money back. We tried to get our money back multiple times trying from different numbers. We sent an email and certified letter to get our money back. We even tried to offer him more business to get him to respond and nothing. Non profit myers communication. He also sent threating emails. He knew my husband had connections to other businesses. 2872 Leesburg Germantown, TN Registered an LLC

I was referred to the website, apiyuxw.dodoexcavateeth.com by a woman who reached out to me through Facebook named, Nora Lee stating her Chinese name as being, Yu-Qi Guo, (332-733-8047). The Dodo website was working with me to earn money via crypto-mining and I had reportedly made, $126271 through my investments and was informed that all the money had to be withdrawn by the end of the year for tax purposes. Upon requesting withdrawal, the DODO website stated that I needed to pay a $6000 processing fee, and New York State and Federal Taxes prior to releasing my funds. I complied with these items and paid an additional $7000 for New York State taxes and $18901 for Federal Taxes to the company who advised that they would provide this to the government for tax purposes. My reported profits from the website (DODO) was never released to me and the DoDo website stated that I needed to provide an additional $15000 payment to "investigate" where the money I was to be provided was not sent to me. The DoDo website is stating that all my funds are being detained by my Crypto Wallet Company, Metamask, due to concerns over potential, "illegal financial gain". I contacted Metamask and was informed that no money had been sent to them, nor would they be able to hold and not release someone's money to them.

All information supplied is what I thought was truth but clearly could be false. I “met” “Andrew” (Andrea) Garcia on the Christian dating app Upward on 9/8/22. Ph # 917-905-3138 (now disconnected). Telegram username: @A_ww0816 – he erased all our messages on 10/26 after final payment). From Italy. Been in US since 2013: San Francisco then Brooklyn and now in Wesley Heights in Charlotte, NC. Parents alive; has 4-year-younger sister. Bday 7/18/86. Went to Berkley with degrees in finance and an MBA. Sr Data analyst: market research trial data and financial data analysis. He also recommended Chase bank because that’s what he uses.

After developing a “relationship” over a few weeks, I started making deposits on 9/22 into Crypto.com then transferring them to DefiWallet through the browser www.daytradingwallet.com which comes up under the site MetaMask. On 9/25, I withdrew my first (and only) small profit of <$400. Subsequently in using the daytradingwallet site, I approved (with Andrew’s permission) a couple pop-ups. The daytradingwallet site in early October now read www.protradingtv.com. On 10/12, the site changed to: www.wdcrhlb.xyz. On 10/19, in attempting to withdraw profits, I received this message saying my requested withdrawal of funds was frozen: “Hello, dear customers, in accordance with the IRS regulations on short-term investment income tax for individuals in the United States, in order to ensure that you receive the funds smoothly, you need to prepay 25% of the total account tax within 7 working days. Your current account The Total profit is 174,944.75 USDT, and the tax amount is US$ 43,736. After the pre-paid tax is completed, it is convenient for you to withdraw cash. Please pay the tax in time. After the tax payment is successful, our exchange will send you an email with the IRS tax payment details W2. Thank you for your cooperation!” I inquired to Customer Service about just using the profits to pay the tax, and received this message: “Hello, you cannot use the account balance to pay your prepaid tax. Please complete the tax payment within the specified time. If you maliciously evade tax and pay insufficient tax, you will be subject to the corresponding provisions according to Section 7201 of Title 26 of the United States Code. Penalties, up to 5 years in Prison; fines of up to $250,000 (for individuals) or $500,000 (for organizations) for offenders; or both, and court costs, please be aware.” Upon request, I was then given an “exclusive BTC prepaid tax address." I was going to scrap together funds, and Andrew was going to lend me $20K.

I submitted my “payment” of $27,855.98 on 10/26 to the exclusive tax address. When I contacted customer service to confirm the transaction, I noticed the daytradingwallet site again changed and was now www.ntyhwsz.xyz. As soon as I messaged Andrew a transaction completed screenshot and could he please submit his part, all our Telegram messages disappeared. His phone number was also disconnected. DeFiWallet’s customer service wouldn’t respond. I contacted Crypto.com customer service who said I was scammed.

Currently, my DeFiWallet says I have $376,834.11 USDT in it, of which none is accessible and probably not real profits as Crypto.com customer service told me.

In total, including personal loans, fees, cash advance, etc, I lost at least $238,933.50 plus what will be about $27,000 in IRS Taxes since I took out retirement money early including the penalty fee of 10% and taxes on “income.”

I also fell victim to a similar scam,I met an Asian lady online called Li Wang and during our conversations other interests came up and she told me about her occupation of being an online trader of cryptocurrency. She started to share more and more about how she has been successful. She traded through a platform called ssjtcf-group that allows you to conduct cryptocurrency option trading. Through discussions I became interested and set up an account that he helped me create. My account went through my crypto wallet so I felt it was secure. Through my wallet I would go to my browser and type in ssjtcf-group .  Com From here I would have access to their platform and could conduct crypto option trading.
She and I would communicate through WhatsApp most entirely this is were all of my transactions and records of the conversation are held. In order to trade, I would deposit money from my bank and into Coinbase, from Coinbase I would then transfer the funds into my account. Everything was in my control and only guided by her. I began trading on the platform with her guidance. She would have me take screen shots and she would circle what I needed to do to carry out the transactions/trades.
As my funds grew she would convince me to deposit more money into the account because the crypto market was doing really well for option trading. I decided to continue to invest and increase my stakes. Over a period of 2 weeks I had deposited $15,000
My account size grew to $20,103.71. She also showed me how to withdraw  my funds.I attempted just $1kand it went through with no issues into my Coinbase account. But then I tried to withdraw more money my account was frozen because customer service said I made too many transactions in on day. I called Li and told her what they said and she encouraged me to contact the online customer support and within no time my funds were in frozen and I was able to trade again. After that I put in more money $10,000 this time  and it grew to $12,000 When I attempted to withdraw the $12,000 on I was told that I had insufficient funds and that the transaction would not go through. I can see the funds have been frozen and on the transaction receipt the status says under audit and it does not give a reason why. I reached out to their customer support multiple times but got no replies.
Luckily In my research I came across a US security forensic investigating firm who were able to track and get back the funds I lost.

Very real story, thank you for sharing. I heard of similar story before related to proximaapp.com - almost identical. The Asian lady, good English writing skill, has an Instagram account @kim900321 and has changed the names 5 times over last 12 months. She has a gmail beixin84 and 226-298-0323 Those are not her pictures on Instagram. She is an older woman. She started by making you believe she is well off and has couple of luxury stores. She tricked you into participating in investing according to her uncle’s knowledge on bitcoins trading. You were encouraged to take money out and donate to charity at the beginning. Later you couldn’t get money out with paying 20% this and that…
