A person name Jack Gao approached my sister on LinkedIn in April/May 2024 and developed a romantic relationship. He said he worked in San Francisco at OpenAI. They have never met in person. He introduced her to a crptocurrency platform qexbit.xyz. He presented himself as a user of the platform and "knows how it works." The website proved its legitimacy by letting my sister withdraw $1K and $15K. My sister took a second loan on her house, $275K, and sent it to the platform. The website led my sister to believe she profited $2M. My sister then wanted to start withdrawing the money. They platform told her she needed to get to their "next tier level" and deposit $300K in order to withdraw the money. My sister convinced our mother to withdraw $300K from our mother's 401K retirement account. My sister sent the $300K to the website right away. The website then requested $150K to get a certificate that's needed in order to withdraw any money from the cryptocurrency platform. My sister withdrew $150K from her own 401K retirement account and sent the money to the platform. She was then told that she is in the "queue" to make withdrawals and that there are many users in front of her waiting to withdraw their money. The platform told her she can get out of the queue and withdraw her money immediately if she put in $400K for the membership fee. Jack Gao told her he had to go through all this himself and is willing to help her by putting $200K of his own money into the platform. She would then just need to put in the other half of the $400K membership fee. My family and I hired a private investigator. The PI confirmed there is no such person name Jack Gao that is in California and works for OpenAI. The PI was also not able to confirm the legitimacy of the the website qexbit.xyz or qexbit.org. We have already filed a FBI report on their website.

Hello,
My name is Linh Ly. I am also a victim of romance/pig butchering scam to Qexbit.org. I have filed reports with SEC, I3, DFPI. I lost $762k. I accepted his LinkIn invitation in Sep 16, 2024. He goes with the name Wayne Xia on LinkIn and Facebook. He had already closed his LinkIn profile. He used 949-678-5364 to contact me. I live in Southern California. I believe we both encountered the same scammer. I would like to communicate/share further detail with you in hope for some insights. If you could, please contact me ([email protected]).
Thank you

A BK employee demanded I leave the drive through to wait for my food. I sat in my car on the other side of the building for ten minutes. When they arrived, the employe stated that he could give me the food for free if I “helped him out.” I stated that I already paid and would like to take the food and leave. He threatened to charge several hundred dollars more to my credit card if I didn’t comply. I said I was leaving. He explicitly demanding sexual favors. I refused. He screamed at me and said I was no longer welcome at the BK. I left. I will never go back and would caution anyone from going here. This location should be stripped of its BK franchise and shut down immediately.

I have been talking to this girl on Facebook and have not seen her in person but we have spoke on the phone and texted. She says she loves me and wants to live with me. She was giving me info of a supposed leasing company and told me they would be able to get me a house for 500 dollars a month with all amentias. None of these added up and I cannot find anything on the company. Definite scam. She went by the name betharn alison jane.

I met someone on the dating app Hinge who claimed to work for an import-export company in town (Memphis, TN). Our conversation migrated to the Telegram app. She offered to teach me her knowledge about crypto and forced me to take out a loan by dubious consent, saying I'd make enough money to pay back the loan without accumulating interest. In the end, though, the exchange website I traded on said I needed to pay a security fee to withdraw my funds, which confirmed for me that this whole thing was a fake crypto exchange scam. Now my bank account is nearly drained and I don't have enough money to possibly pay back my loan in a reasonable time. The loan company is called Upstart, which I learned has predatory lending practices.

The scammer indicated that she was from North Carolina in her text messages. The other scammer indicated they were from Utah by text. I was foolish enough to give out sensitive information such as credit card numbers, banking information & social security number to someone I thought I could trust.

Scammer contact acted me from his number (325-338-4389) stating a check from his 2nd job being mailed to me because his bank account was locked due to fraud (bank of America). It will need to be signed for. I received the notice, went to the post office, signed for it and picked up the check. I deposited the check into my savings account, transferred the money to checking and sent the money cash app to $cynthiaholland58 on June 17th at 5:52pm cst. Yesterday (6/24/24) my bank notified me my account was locked and I owe the money bank on a fraudulent check. After I spoke with higher ups management (China) she stated the teller did not put a hold on the check for 7 days to verify it being a legitimate check therefore I’m held responsible and my account has to be paid in full by 45 days from June 24.

I am a victim of a cryptocurrency romance scam know as pig butchering. It started with The frauder, Noah Nan, who contacted me on LinkedIn on January 9th, 2024. Noah Nan (who turned out to be a scammer) encouraged me and showed me the short-term earnings. We chatted professionally for a few days and then he asked to chat via what’s app. Over weeks to months to gain my trust, he got me to invest in a crypto-currency site (Kraken and Phhrx platform). The scammer solicits investments in a fraudulent cryptocurrency site, promising dubiously high returns on investment (ROI). Since the scammer has my trust, he proposed an investment opportunity related to crypto assets. He trained me to set up an account on an exchange to purchase crypto assets, and then provide a website or wallet address for me to transfer funds in order to participate in the investment opportunity. The platform investment appears to be legitimate. It act and produces artificial gains to keep me engaged.

The investment starts out small amounts of money $500 1/22/24, $500 1/24/24, $3000 1/26/24, $22000 2/23/24, 17400 2/12/24, & $30000 3/13/24 and then allowed to withdraw my profits to encourage further investment. He even tells be what every icons in platform is used for.

Once I invested significant money, the scammer told me he will help me withdraw the cash that I gained with the investment. It is just recently on 3/16, He reminded me with my large gained, I will need to pay taxes next year. On 3/17, he follow up with me to see if I have received the deposit yet. Since I haven’t, he encourage me to follow up with customer service on Phrrx platform. When I talked to customer service, they said that certain tax authorities require additional deposits to withdraw the profits. They gave me until 3/22/2024 to deposit $57,898.3698 USD service fees. After the payment they will handle my withdraw.

That is when I knew I was scammed. This is when I realized it was a scam, I learned that all the profits, cryptocurrency graphs, and my capital on the (phishing) were manipulated by the scammer. I am now just left with a loan debt. This is also called a 'pig butchering' scam that the scammers scam victims and leave them with nothing. Because the time is short, I am reaching out to report this scam. I have a feeling the scammer will close the http://phhrxust.com and What’s app to communicate until March 22nd. He is unaware that I have reported him as he is hoping for me to deposit additional cash by March 22nd.

Here is the most recent wallet address information: 0x7253bb6d3ee10b5cd779761aa9236a29972503cd

CMB does not verify personal information on dating app accounts. I met multiple “men” who listed falsified information. Fake pictures, names, etc. All in order to manipulate women. CMB charges excessive fees to join this app. This company is taking advantage of people with no repercussions on their end.

Most of last year I was in contact with an American woman named Valentina Anna Nelson (she told me she was a photographer from Tampa, Florida) and she always told me that she was working at Care Ong, in Yemen, in the province of Lahj, as a manager logistics and assistance to refugees. She also told me that she was in a military camp, with many other international organizations. Her employment contract was for 6 months, from March to August, but she had not been able to find a replacement for her position and for this reason she had not been able to leave Yemen in August.

Well, in short, we started a friendship and as the months passed, she asked me for money to which I agreed, under countless deceptions...

First she told me she asked me for 200 dollars for a satellite internet plan, since the one she uses at her work was only for her work and had very little capacity.

As the months passed, she told me that her father had left her an inheritance with some of her shares, which she should release from it and so, she convinced me to help her.. The details of those transactions are below.

It should be noted that we spoke with this person daily, and we even communicated by video.

When her work was finished, she would return everything to me, she would travel to Chile and we would meet.

I made 2 deposits to PNC Bank (branch located at 10 Commercial Point, Ohio), in the name of CYNTHIA SAVER (account number 4153433323), who was supposed to be the agent of a financial institution called Standard Financial Corp.

The 1st deposit for the sum of U$9,780 (date July 13, 2023)

The 2nd deposit for the sum of U$7,608 (date October 31, 2023)

The above was to release an inheritance from her father, which were funds or shares.

In addition, she requested U$200 from me monthly for the purchase of an internet plan, since she could not communicate because she was in Yemen.

These deposits were for another person, who was Care ONG's IT staff and who enabled the service:

Nancy Bell, located at: 809 E. Jefferson St lot 33, Whitney TX. 76692

Western Union:

U$200 May 2, 2023 (mtcn: 6680300850)

U$200 June 6, 2023 (mtcn: 1201146081)

U$200 July 17, 2023 (mtcn: 5859633764)

U$200 August 18, 2023 (mtcn: 7290196516)

MoneyGram

U$200 October 3, 2023 (ref number: 86995361)

U$200 November 20, 2023 (ref number: 53859230)

In December she was able to leave for France. She told me that they were evacuating many humanitarian workers (first they took them to Saudi Arabia and then to France), due to the Middle East crisis that is currently being experienced between Israel-Yemen-USA, etc... We were always in contact, daily. The last communication I had with her was in early January, where she told me that she was in France and that she was ready to return to the United States. After that, I never knew her location again and she doesn't respond to my emails.

This person stopped communicating at the beginning of January 2024. Later, I contacted CARE ONG, where they told me that she does not belong to that organization. Furthermore, I tried to locate her at the US embassy in France and they told me that this person does not exist, since I sent them the passport that she sent me.

He attempted to scam money & cryptocurrency. He said he is Eden Akash from Elapath Energy. He claim that he is in renewable energy business - a company which he had built for 30 years. He kept talking about crypto currencies investment for his company and he even sent me a link to sign up for supposedly crypto trading. He would love-bombed me daily, send me photos of himself, calls me daily and sent me flowers - but he would never take my video call nor meet me in person (he initially pretended to book a fancy dinner to meet up but canceled at the last minute as he said he had to travel for business - he would show a fake flight itinerary). And he would excessively claim that I am the love of his life and he wants to build a family with me. He claimed that he moved to Singapore since 2023 and is having a project in Singapore & Taiwan. The most bizarre thing is he even created LinkedIn account and fake website about his company Elapath and news release that seems legit - but all these websites aren’t from reliable sources and they were all created less than 6 months ago - there were no history of Eden Akash nor his company before that. I also read that someone else reported him as a scammer. I later noticed that his photos were also ‘recycled’ to deceive women. Also the photo that he sent me about his daughter is actually not the real person as I saw her photo in another website ‘impersonating’ as his staff in a Kuwait project. He even sent fake location app about his live location.

He tried to entice me into crypto investment and said he could show me how to invest. He started by transferring a small payment of crypto into my digital wallet for an item that he had asked me to purchase which he offered to pay me in crypto instead of cash. This turned out to be one of his manipulative tactic of gaining my trust first. He then said that he would connect me with his team to create ‘something big’ for us. He attempted to scam me but luckily I found out about this on time, returned his crypto and blocked him.

I was in dating app called ***** ***. Few females saying how much they love just by reading my profile and after 2 or 3days of chatting they ask for money. When I tell them I don't have debit cards paypal cashapp then I say if we live so close why not I bring money cash. They have some excuse and it's the same I'm living with mother older or young sister don't want anyone to know about us. I also met some on dating app that want hook ups and they ask to buy a game card to keep their kids occupied to play video games so we don't get disturbed. That's when I learned there are hookers/prostitutes on there. I never did it but friend of mine did but the girl he was going to meet gave him fake address then got jumped. Luckily because of my training and skills I knew something wasn't right so I followed him and saved him from further problems

I met a woman through Silver Singles, a senior dating site. The woman told me she lived in Michigan but was in England and helping settle her late father's estate. The father had money that needed to be brought back to the states. The woman convinced me to open an LLC in my name, which I did through the Missouri secretary of state's office. I spend $249 to register the business. When I went to my bank to open a business account, I was told by an employee that my story sounded like a scam. I cut off conversation with the woman after learning that.
