On August 14th 2020, the company contacted me via email from [email protected] and demanded a “mandatory 20% withdrawal tax” of the $101,289.21 was to be paid in order to receive my payout. On August 24th, the company claimed that my payout was readjusted to $153,897.21. On September 8th 2020, the company contacted me again via email to begin the payout process and demanded identity verification. On November 7th, they claimed that my payout grew to $352,892.33 and began demanding huge “maintenance fees” to process the withdrawal of the entire amount to my bank account. 5 days later, on November 12th 2020, I was informed that my payout was further adjusted to $752,198.21 and my fee was $90,000.
On November 20th 2020, I was informed there was a 20% “bitcoin charge” of the total payout that was to be paid in addition to the withdrawal fee, and corresponded via email with the company’s “operating payout officer” Marcus G. Jones. The fees totaling $156,000 were paid by purchasing Bitcoins via Coinbase through my bank accounts at various times. I paid all the demanded fees through Yash, by sending my purchased Bitcoins from my wallet to Yash’s wallet addresses. Yash claimed the company is not a scam and to have used the company previously, things would process faster if I paid the demanded fees through him. The company repeatedly promised that I would be paid $752,198.21 plus return the fees once everything was paid. On December 9th 2020 with no end in sight, I ceased to pay any further fees, and my payout and all fees paid remains with the company. I requested a refund of all fees paid and was informed it would take 12 months to process.
In addition to the advance fee fraud conducted by this company, Yash claimed his bank account was frozen and later cleaned out during a robbery and conducted elaborate advance fee frauds of his own. In February 2021, Yash claimed that he needed to pay a $100,000 fee to secure another job contract with a company and demanded assistance. Once the $100,000 fee was completed, there was a further $280,000 bitcoin fee that had to be paid to the same company so they could process a $2.8 million payment to him and demanded assistance to pay for that. Yash repeatedly promised to send me $1 million from the $2.8 million, once the $280,000 fee was paid to the company. After I paid the final $10,000 on May 6th 2021 with further promises that I will get $1 million immediately, Yash became unresponsive & his phone number has been unreachable since May 7th 2021.
Over the past 9 months in total, I was demanded to purchase approximately $400,000 in Bitcoins via Coinbase through my bank accounts. I have a detailed list of all the Coinbase transactions through my Bitcoin wallet going to different wallets. All transactions are in my bank statements to Coinbase with dates and amounts transferred.
Further investigation confirms the https://trade.betaoption24.com domain is registered in Nigeria, and the location of Yash on the dating app has changed from the US to Nigeria.
If not for the investigating firm that helped me get back my money i would've been completely lost.
