Fridman Wealth Partners (https://fridman.partners/client-access) promised an expected return of 14% monthly.

They requested a cryptocurrency transfer for deposits. A new address each time.

For months, I monitored daily and noticed the balance increasing.

I attempted to make a small withdrawal of my principal investment last month and now their website is gone and email can’t be delivered. They have disappeared.

It appears as though they stole everything.

“Fridman Wealth Partners is a discretionary investment management firm authorised in England and Wales with office address at Northcliffe House, Young St, London W8 5EH, United Kingdom.”

I invested a large amount of money and traded. I increased my Bitcoin acct. I tried to withdraw a small amount but they put a hold on my acct until I paid tax on profit. They gave me 7 days to pay it or pay a fee for late charges. I paid tax and late fees. They lowered my score to 95% and said I would have to purchase more or trade 2 more time at $5k each within 8 days or else pay late fees again I trade 2 more times and profited $12k. Not they said I have to pay tax on the $12k within 7 days or pay late fees again. This is a catch 22. Now they are demanding that I pay over $10k for late fees and tax. I asked them to with draw the amount from my profits. They refused saying it had to be paid with outside bitcoins. Now they have closed my acct and app.
BTCH is a Scam.

I found a website on google play for VBITCOINEX.COM and inquired about trading and investing. I was instructed to create a user ID to be able to invest. I was then included in a Telegram group trading chat where I was mentored for free. My initial investment was $100.00. I made money. I was then encouraged by "customer service" on the app to invest larger amount to "create larger capitol to increase the value of my investment" and "to show I knew how to trade". After approximately 3 months, I made a significant profit, I requested to withdraw my funds. I was required to use customer service to do this but was told I would need to pay "a deposit margin of profit" fee to transfer my funds to my coinbase, crytpo, kracken accounts. I advised them i did not have the tens of thousands of dollars required and was told I would lose the money. I attempted a second time to withdraw my investment and was met with accusations of "insider trading" and was required to pay a larger "penalty" and would be suspended from trading on their platform. the group chat members all encouraged me to "just pay" and that "they do this sometimes". I realized at this point it was most likely a scam and ceased communication with this platform.

First the imposters that pretended to be Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani told me if I invest with them through Bitcoin my return would be extremely high, they kept on asking for more and more money of $100,000.00 until I was broke, lost my home of 15 years and my car. And now I’m sleeping on a couch and my boyfriend of 17 years broke up with me. I am so depressed and have contacted all the federal authorities but no one has contacted me and it’s been almost two years.

I invested $2,000. The system went down. It came back. They said that I had to deposit $250 to restore my account and previous funds. I deposited ~$255 in Bitcoin. They said that crypto fees brough the balance below $250 and to deposit again. I deposited $275 in bitcoin. Then they said I needed to deposit an additional $2,500. I tried to withdraw the $247 in Bitcoin ($255 less fees). Those funds disappeared along with the initial $2,000.

The value of the bitcoin is much higher now. Likely above $3,000 plus the additional $500 that was deposited.

I have supporting screenshots.

Asked to deposit money into an account to verify, then was told I would have money sent. Money was stolen. My fault for not being diligent, but it's a shame anyone would take advantage of someone like that.

Total money lost $120,000
Type of a scam CryptoCurrency

I just lost over $100,000.
They kept asking for more $$.
Then when I had enkigh and wanted money withdrawn, they wanted 25% Swiss tax- out of mybpocket ( not from my account). Like a fool I paid it... then it wasn't enough... and they wanted the entire amount AGAIN OUT OF MY POCKET. Since I haven't paid more $$ my account is disabled due to inactivity. They haven't traded for 2 weeks- only busy getting $$ out of me. There is nothing I can do, or them they say if I don't pay. STAY AWAY!

This website is not legit and they trapped me to send them money so I can recover money fast. They divided us into several groups so can trade together based on the amount that we deposit. After I made several trades and made good profit, I tried to the make a withdrawal, they didn’t allow me and they said that my money that I deposited was not legit and I need to pay 12K$ in order to unlock my account and make the withdrawal.

I have continually asked them to close the account and refund all my money, but they have not replied, they ignored all my emails and the numbers never go through but I see they are giving replies here by a bot, it is really stressing and before you invest with them, they are not regulated by FCA, I have filed case wit infra white because I met someone that also got the account closed through them, I have done that already last week and it has been a positive turnaround, I have got most of my deposit returned, hopefully I’ll get everything back.

The scammer COINNLINK (www.coinnlink.com) is a website which pretends to be a trading platform for crypto currencies. Their crypto currency address for USDT is: TFnmwXemrCrFfHkiuuTG8cBxovpBnTbiwv

Their domain is registered by "Domains By Proxy LLC" from Tempe, Arizona (www.domainsbyproxy.com), a company who allows anonymous website registrants therefore this company registered the domain for the scammer in Godaddy (godaddy.com). The domain is hosted by IT7 Networks Inc, Los Angeles, US with IP address: 138.128.223.226.

You can see the domain Whois here: https://uk.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=www.coinnlink.com

And hosting Whois here: https://hostingchecker.com

I met online a girl called Li Yunxi, she said she was Korean, I talked to her in the phone and also video call. She told me about the platform Coinnlink and taught me how to use it. She is using an UK mobile number +44 7960 039860. She was indeed talking to me like she was falling in love with me and so on, which also make me doubt about everything.

I had crypto currencies (USDT) and she told me that in this platform we could have good profits in short term trading. We did some transactions together and I could withdraw some USDT to my Binance wallet, around 2,500 USDT, so I did some successful transactions and I could recover my USDT.

We were talking through Whatsapp and she was always encouraging me to invest, I finally transferred around 14,500 USDT to trade in the platform but when I wanted to withdraw more, I tried first 18,000 USDT (my USDT plus some profits) the platform didn't allow me to withdraw. The next day, after another "successful transaction" I tried to withdraw 5,000 USDT and again I couldn't withdraw anything. In the same day, 1h later after the withdrawal application I received the following email:

" Dear Coinnlink customer,

Due to your repeated withdrawal, your withdrawal was judged by the system to be non-personal operation, which is at risk of being stolen by others, triggering the security institution protection mode of your account.

In order to protect your funds, you need to deposit 8000USDT into your exchange account to verify that you are performing normal operations. After you complete the top-up of 8000USDT and confirm that it is you who is doing the operation, the Security Agency protection mode on your account will be unlocked and all your funds can be withdrawn.

Thank you for your cooperation, I wish you a happy life!! "

If I was already doubting about the platform and the girl, this email just confirmed me that I was scammed. I then contact their "customer service" and they told me the same thing, that I had to deposit 8,000USDT to reactivate the account.

So far, I can still do "trading", I'll keep the "game" with the USDT that I have in the platform and keep the contact with the girl, I won't of course deposit anymore USDT but I think it's better if I stay in the game so making time for ScamPulse.com to help me and also the police and I talked also to a lawyer.

Please tell me whether you'd need more information

I contacted a friend from Facebook. This was someone I use to work with. The Facebook page talked about new job in crypto. I believed it because they worked in banking. They instructed me to set up an account on RockCoin.us. Then create a cash app. After I set up these accounts I was instructed to buy bitcoin through cash app . I would see these amounts appear on my RockCoin account. It was relentless back and forth asking for $2k more. I would see my profits increase. After setting up a withdrawal and paying my fee. They have just been stalling. Sent me a tracking number for a check I’m supposed to receive. Track delivery to the wrong address. Some address in Fairfield. Illinois. Now the communication has slowed to a crawl. I would never had believed I could fall victim to a scam. Jokes on me.

Invested in their algorithm site and was baited to pay fees, for IRC and 10% of earnings. Final straw was to send more money to obtain final payout of earnings.

I am experiencing problem withdrawing money from my jubi account after paying taxes upfront, then I was told to pay validation fees then was told that I have to pay 33k as a fine for inside trading, (even though I was assured by Jubi that I will not be asked to pay any additional fees and the system will complete my withdrawal.

I have witnessed first-hand all those complaints investors on Jubi have posted online,

It is clear that this is an act to defraud hard working citizen out of their savings.

I am pleading for necessary authority to step in and put a stop to this scam and injustice being meted out to our fellow citizens.

I have loss a total of 200,000 in investment funds, taxes paid (even though no money was paid out) and validation fees. My account is now frozen, and I have been threatened by Jubi to pay 33k in fine while my funds are inaccessible.

I seek assistance in getting my money back.

On July 18, 2023, I was contacted by "Aileen" on Twitter (@Aileen4080) who started friendly conversation and identified herself as having an interest in crypto currency. She said she worked at "Global Trade & Logistics" in North Carolina. Later, she introduced me to "CoinCorner", which turned out to be a scam crypto site..

She spent several days helping me download the CoinCorner app (https://www.ccorcoun.vip) on my iPhone and getting setup. She said her team of analysts meet in the Global Trade & Logistics building and look for "good trading nodes." She spent several weeks with me telling me exactly what Bitcoin trades to make on the site. I began to deposit more money into the platform because she said I could get a higher percentage yield based on my deposit balance. After my balance appeared to have doubled in the system, I expressed an interest to withdraw my initial investment of around 94k and just trade with the "profits" I had made.

At this point, she told me to contact CoinCorner customer support (WhatsApp 1-725-254-9376) and ask to be enrolled in a "recharge" program. The first level of the program stated "Deposit $300,000 for 5% rebate."

I told Aileen that I didn't have $300,000 and she said that it was OK and I should sign up for it anyway. I asked her if signing up would affect withdrawing my funds and she said "no." I signed up at the $300,000 level and the customer service agent made no mention that my funds would now be locked from withdrawal.

We made more trades for several days and my balance increased to almost $200,000 in the system. I tried to withdraw some funds at this point but my withdrawal was blocked. I asked customer service why my withdrawal was blocked and they said I needed to deposit an additional $206,000 into the system since I signed up for the rebate program. I told them I wasn't able to get that much money, but they will not let me out of the program. I have begged them 3 times now to let me out and that I would pay a penalty if needed, but they said it's a "system limitation" and they cannot remove me from the program. I asked to speak with a supervisor, but they say that the only way to interact with the platform is through customer support. I asked Aileen about this and she just said I need to add the $206k to the account. They clearly misled me and tricked me into signing up for something that isn't explained at all on their website. So my money is trapped in the ccorcoun.vip system..

"Aileen" said her real is "Lu Mei Ting" but that is probably also fake. The WhatsApp number she used to contact me is: 18127839652. I don't know if she actually works for Global Trade & Logistics or not. If she does, she needs to be fired and deported. She is supposedly over here on a work visa.
