Cameron T******* offered a ”mentorship” program on his Up Your Income telegram group. He blocked me from the group once I requested for a refund. He also has a website UpYourIncome.net he never rendered services I requested for a refund he stated “Listen… you’re not getting a refund. End of discussion”. We can go back and forth til 2032. It’s not happening. I am a millionaire. He now has an “Assistant” after attempting to reach out for 4 months the business number is 404-410-6662. She stated, I spoke with Cam he said he spoke with you and you had something going on, he told you to call him back when you’re ready and you called back two months later. At this time he is done. I spoke with Cameron T******* twice time over the phone in 5 months. He stated I can contact him on Sundays only reached out no response.

I invested over 9000 in this company's short options and ended up with 11474. I attempted to withdraw the money to my credit union with the aid of customer service. They said the process would take 2-4 days. On day 3, i was told that my credit union (PSECU) is at risk and that my account was placed in a safety zone. In order to get my money out of the safety zone, i had to deposit an addition 11474. They tell me that if i do so, all my money will be released for withdrawal. If i don't, I will lose the money. My credit union is highly reputable. It is not at risk. Being a senior citizen, age 74, I cannot or will not willingly provide the funds necessary to release my money. This is a great hardship for me as i live on a pension. Customer service will not budge an inch. They insist i give them an addition 11747.

This scammer group has an elaborate setup, communicating over WhatsApp and they change phone numbers repeatedly. First, you are told to pay for initiation items (usually around $600), which you never receive. Then you are told to help out a charity (around $3,000), but there is no indication if the charity ever received anything. Sometimes the funds are requested via Western Union, and sometimes they are requested via BitCoin. After you pass this 'test', you are invited to pay for your 'Wears' which is supposedly ceremonial regalia, similar to what Masons wear in Lodge, that is around $10k, but again you never receive. Finally, you are asked to donate to a fallen 'brother's' family, another $10k which again, no indication if it got to where they said it would go. This is what they describe as your final step, after this they tell you that you will receive your benefits (money, car of your choice, etc). After this you are contacted by a Shipping Company (in my case it was Global West Coast Logistics), they claim they have a secure container that they will deliver to me, but first I have to pay $16k in BitCoin, of which 98% will be refunded, they keep 2% for their paperwork and rental of the 40ft shipping container. Needless to say nothing ever materializes, and no explanation of what happened. In an isolated case, they told me that someone took the money and they would be removed from the organization, and then told me to send in more money. Again by Bitcoin. As I am able to afford, and proceed, I will update my findings.

The imposters created a fake whatsapp group with using 100s of different numbers pretending to be clients but actually same people. They also used Edwin Conway from Blackrock ,name to lure people. I also have one more person who fell for the scam. After confronting them they blocked me and didn't allow me to withdraw money.

They have called from in excess of 20+ phone numbers which mostly list from Que. asking for me to continue with my account to deposit 250 in order to have access to the investments after numerous calls they change their tactics to say that I have an invested amount waiting for me that belongs to me even though I said, I never deposited or started an account and they continue to argue with me. Yes it’s all yours it’s just waiting for you and they’ve called several times different locations and I’m assuming they’re using some kind of a router to change their location. They resorted to text messages in the beginning. It was an email which I blocked and when I confront them and say you guys have called me 1520 times or more from different locations and they’re saying oh well we never called you before , I called them scammers and hung up. Thank God I didn’t go through with anything else.

They said if I invested $1500 that I would.

Get a Total of $9,000 through them investing it in bitcoin, But then when the day came to pay up, they never could and required more money because they invested my money. The wrong way or something anyways long story short. I got screwed out of money. My dad who was no longer alive now. Lost as well, So I would really like you guys to get this money for me. I can't afford financial loss like this especially now. I'm the last man In my family, You said his name was mark Andrew.

And has an Instagram page.

I can show you the images. They've just recently sent me trying to get more money from me. And I won't do it!

I was contacted by a person i have known for years about bitcoin tractions. I thought it was legit. It started with asking for $100 and has ended with asking for more and more money. I used bitcoun through cash app and also sent moeny via zelle. I kept getting told " this is it I promise" now i am out of $850 and they are asking for another $400 to again complete the transaction. I tried recovering money through my bank unsuccessfully. At one point i was asked to provide my Facebook user name and password. Next i was told to send a video wishing someone a happy birthday to receive my payment .

I wascontacted by them through WhatsApp, and initially, they requested $200.00 as an initial investment, promising free trades in return. I transferred the $200.00 to them. After two weeks, I received a message from them stating that I needed to maintain a minimum balance of $30,000 to gain access to VIP membership and continue trading with ST5-VP1 privileges. At that point, I had earned around $22,000, so I wired them an additional $1,000. However, they then demanded an additional sum of approximately $7,000.00, which I sent via crypto.com to upgrade to VIP1. I was granted access, but...!!!! When I attempted to withdraw some of my earnings, they refused to release any funds unless I sent them an additional $5,000, citing system detection issues as their excuse. This fraudulent operation involves individuals who go by the names Cindy and Jason Thomas. It appears that they manipulate the price chart they provide, making it seem lower than the actual crypto price.

This trick IMO causes people to invest, driving up the price as the chart starts at a lower point. It's essential to report this scam to the FBI or the appropriate authorities responsible for investigating such crimes. These scammers are defrauding hundreds of individuals! Please be cautious and do not trust anything they say. Keep records of your WhatsApp conversations as evidence of the scam.

A friend Tim ******** messaged me on Facebook telling me about investing in Bitcoin mining. He said he has made a lot of money and suggested I contact his mentor Paul *****. After investing a couple hundred dollars Paul Leach started mentioning fees I have to pay to proceed to collect my profit. Paul had me login to a peakprotrade website to see my profit which at the time showed 63,000. The fees were 2,000 to 3,000 each. I confirmed this with my friend Tim and both said multiple times that I only had one more fee to pay. I stopped paying the fees after I realized it was a scam.

The person came across as someone locally known as Stephanie ************ Snider in Kingfisher, OK. They are a very well known & respected family in the community (the **************). I thought I could trust "her" and everything was fine after my initial investment of $1,000 to do Bitcoin trading. Well, the trading cycle came to an end (about 3 weeks after the initial investment) and "she" said that after all the trades were completed, I profited $76,000 (I was only expecting at most $4500). I said that was awesome and how do I go about withdrawing it? "She" told me that I had to pay the fees and the trading % of $15,200 before I could get the $76,000. I said well, you can take the fees out of the $76,000 and that would be good. "She" said no, it needs to be a wire transfer to her Coinbase wallet then I'd get the money. I told her no and that I had enough trouble getting a $1,000 to invest and I sure couldn't get $15,200 to wire her. She refused to answer me or say anything for several days, then asked when I was going to wire the money. I told "her" again, that she could take the fees out of the $76,000 and if "she" couldn't do that, to just give me my original investment of $1,000 back and forget about the rest. "She" blocked me on Messenger and haven't heard anything else.

They promise me, if I invest in their platform, I will get some revenue in interest and gain money to pay my debts. she also promise she is an Expert doing trading, have a lot of years of expertise. So I trust it put in the minimum amount. Then they did trade put a crazy amount in the platform call Boomoptionsmarket.com and asking me to pay a fee before my 1rst withdrawal. I questioned the amount is too much and she said is because she is good in trading.

At first, we added friends on Twitter, and later we added cable friends. Through chatting, she gradually gained my trust. Then induced me to invest in this platform, from August 21 to August 30, and accumulated to 22,700 dollars. In order to gain my trust, she helped me invest part of it. Later, I was told that I could withdraw money, but I had to pay taxes, and I realized that I had been cheated.

Her Twitter account is @LeslieG72128016. Her telegraph nickname is emily9300. The address of the fraud software is https://kcxdmc.com/#/. All my investments were transferred to KUPAYES through OKX, and the TRC20 address used was: TH6MCKYmSTfaefaUQQVXVLdsXpux7bQZFk

Requested Affiliate Marketing info, to work from home, they invited me to speak to them on What's App. Asked me to become an investor with $300 and within 6 days I would be able to withdraw my profit. On the 6th day they reached out to me and asked me to withdraw my profit and pay a 10% brokerage fee $1,780, once paid, they asked me to pay the taxes $1,060, once paid, they asked me to pay the transfer of fund fees $1,200, once paid, they said I needed to pay $750 for taking so long on making all of these payments. I never received the "profits". They blocked me on TikTok since I started calling them out on their videos as scammers and they wouldn't return my money. Insisted if I pay the last fee I would receive my profit immediately.

I personally found the sarcastic attitude right sad and awkward when I asked to get my money back from the investment account that had been started after they started requesting more money for unknown fees. The prices of the fees seemed to double in dollars 500 to 1000 1000 to 2000 nothing they did or requested made any sense.

Kevin and I had a mutual friends which ended up being his nephew. I had messaged his nephew, Jason to see how they were connected. Jason said that that was his uncle and I told him that we were going to reach out to him about investing and he said that he saw that he had his uncle was doing that but I hadn’t asked him about it but to go ahead and ask him about it and that it should be OK. So my husband reached out to Kevin and we ended up putting $1800 into crypto and set everything up with their company and were making profits. Kevin would reach out to my husband every day and ask how everything was going and my husband felt that he had a good relationship with him and all was going well. By the end of week two we were told that we needed to add at least $250 to our accounts because our number of transactions had been Mets and they continue making profits we needed to put in more money. So we did and The day, we attempted to cash out we were told that he needed $1500 in order to make sure that we are who we say we are. I told my husband that sounds fishy because we’ve already verified who we were. I told my husband that if he felt that he could trust this guy to go ahead and do it and I guess we’ll see if it’s a scam or not. My husband still had contact with Kevin until the morning after and then Kevin ghosted him. No deposit into our checking accounts no nothing. iMessage Kevin and told him that we were absolutely devastated and then I was ghosted as well. I reached out to Jason and I gave him a heads up or not to try his uncles business and that we were scammed I just want to make sure other people out there know that this is a scam. His Facebook looks legit.

It was a group of people who introduced themselves us a school for helping people to make a good investment case with buying stocks thru their investment platform. They were contacting me and convinced to open an account with them and sent over $2000 there, also they said that their services are free and if my investments will be successful I would pay them a part of it only in this case. But after some time all my money disappeared and I’ve got blocked on that platform and never received my money back. After I figured out that I was scammed all this guys were gone. Please, suggest, what I have to do for get my money back and to stop these people from doing this. Thank you
