Total money lost $400,000
Type of a scam CryptoCurrency
I trusted her. Eventually I added over 240k to the account. And eventually the trading account was over $1 million. Then she told me her aunt said it’s time to get out because the crypto market was going down. She said she had already gotten all of her money out and I should do the same as soon as possible. She showed me how to withdraw and I did. The next day I noticed that the account showed it was locked. I told her she told me to contact Customer Service at @bitbankcs on telegram.
I contacted them and they told me that I needed to pay taxes before they could release the account and gave a timeline of April 26. I asked them if they couldn’t take if from what was already in the account and they said no. The taxes was 20% of the profit. A few days later I liquidated some of my accounts and paid it. After that they told me that my account was in review and they couldn’t release the funds because some irregularities have been taken place. I asked what irregularities they told me to hold on they would get back to me. They came back and told me that it seems there has been some insider trading going on and a lot of people were affected. And how it affected their company. I told them I knew nothing about insider trading. I contacted Selina and she told me oh yes “we” did take part in insider trading. I said if I was aware of that was what was happening I would not have participated. She told me to hold on she was going to get a hold of her aunt and get back to me. In the meantime Customer Service asked me to tell them all the people I knew of that was involved because it would come out since they were investigating and hope I would not get in trouble. Selina came back told me her aunt said to tell them that Na He brought me in and showed me how to trade, which was true. That is what I told Customer Service. They confirmed what I said and did not ask any other question. They told me to hold on they would talk to their headquarters and tell me how to resolve.
In the meantime I told Selina what they said; she said her aunt said they usually have to pay 10% penalty. I said I don’t have that kind of money, I don’t have anymore. She says well I’ll help you. In the meantime Customer Service comes back and says yes 10% of whatever your total is in your account. Again, I told him to release the funds and I’ll pay them whatever it is they need, once released. I don’t have the money. They insist on telling me that they cannot release it until they get the security deposit, which is approximately $103,000. Selina said she would pay 60k if I can come up with the rest. I told her I don’t have it. I asked her to pay all of it and she says she didn’t have it. She also keeps telling me as soon as I pay it they’ll release it, which I didn’t believe. She said because everybody else that was involved in it that’s what happened. I asked how do you know that; she says that’s what her aunt said. None of this makes sense. I also asked her to go ahead and pay it - the 60K she said she’s going to pay then I’ll pay the rest. She also said her aunt would pay 15K for me since I was short.
I asked her if I could call her to discuss this issue because I think I was being scammed, and she said she writes English better than she speaks. I said that’s ok, I speak to many non native speakers all the time and I would not have any issues understanding her. She said to hold on, and eventually said I could call. About 20 mins or so later she called on Telegram. I again mentioned that this seems like a scam and she took offense. I asked her a few questions from our previous Telegram conversations and she did not answer appropriately, so I knew I was not talking to the same person. I listened to her and hung up. I then started contacting my bank and other government agencies to report it. I contacted Coinbase and Crypto.com to let them know they there were people using their platform to scam people, but got nowhere.
In the mean while during the scam, their website has changed from www.bit-bank.jp to www.bit-bank.cc/h5. Said they were updating the site and to use, the later.
