Joined a group of hungry investors and watched as the team win at bitcoin trading. Decided to put money in and saw the upswing and once it came time to pay them for their services, I could not pay with the earnings sitting in my account. I had to pay them separately to unfreeze my account. At this point I was feeling that everything was not adding up

The scammer contacted me to invest $500 in the Forex/Crypto market. They said they would trade my account, and in 1 week, they would pay me $3,250. I waited a week, and they did NOT pay. They wanted me to pay them $2,750, and then they would pay me my commission. Total Scam. The person they use to lure people is on Instagram as Caitlyn Nathan. (Forex and Bitcoin Coach)

I asked for my initial funds back of $500.00 they refused. I even asked them to just pay me $200.00 and they refused.

It was a Google script that tried to make you think it was live correspondence that you could communicate with. It was just a script
I was contacted via email by a strange email that says I invested Bitcoin which I had, but the email looked weird. (Screenshots) the said I had 40k built up. It was a https address from a Google script. There was a disclaimer saying Google did not put this app in here. 1st red flag and to click here to fill out form to get the money. I didn't. Actually, I got a fake CVS Gift card scam within the last month too. I usually don't get things like this in my emails, honestly. The last one is part of the crypto scam. I can't find the email, though.

The person reached out to me to get into cryptocurrency and bitcoin mining.

They reached out to me via social media under an account that did not seem suspicious, at first. Another friends social media was hacked amd they have access to both, they reached out to me and i fell for the scam because my other friend, whose account was hacked, had photos of getting a return in an investment.

I was approached about learning how to do crypto currency exchange which I do want to learn more about. I was told I had to do so with my own investment through a website where I could see my own profits. I created my account (which didn’t ask for too much to create the basic account) with $50. I saw the money “grow” and invested $350 more in order to “upgrade” my account and “grow more profits.” However when I tried withdrawing from my funds, which I had been told I could do at any time, I received an email from the company Basepips saying that it would be pending for 24 hours. It’s been more than 2 weeks and I still haven’t received any money and they are asking me for my personal banking information such as routing and accounting numbers or to download a specific wallet called “Trust Wallet” which upon looking at the reviews, it’s the same 5-star review posted again and again using different names and slight changes made in the description but the same story. For obvious reasons I have not sent them any more money, given them any personal information, or download the app they asked me to do in order to withdraw my money. They did send me a picture of what looks like a Certificate of Incorporation from the state of Michigan which I have attached below. The website they gave me shows what appears to be currency exchanges and stock numbers. They make it look legit.

The scammer was met at a Chinese social media called WeChat. He acted like a crypto and stock trading expert and persuaded me to download an app named USDCC Ex from Apple Store and also the USDCC website. He then persuaded me to transfer my digital assets/crypto to this platform to trade. That app turned out to be a pig butchering scam platform. It is a fake cryptocurrency exchange platform controlled by the scammers. They allowed you to withdraw a small amount of money the first time but then you will never be successful with your cryptocurrency withdrawal. I have lost about $6000 on this platform which is now being frozen for ever. Their fake customer support keeps telling you to wait patiently and they have no controls over the blockchain speed.

I was approached by a stranger name Named Sidney Munez. He called me through telegram and said that he had a crypto opportunity for me. He said that the investment platform has been around for 3 years and he himself had been with the company for 1 year or so. The company website looks very professional and they promised a turnaround of 24 hours on your investment, you can gain between 10-85 percent; depending on your investment. I signed up for $550. I was able to sign in and see my investment grow. I was excited to see every morning that my money will grow. after a while, my $550 grew to 4,600. I tried to withdraw $2629.00 and was told that they couldn't do so that I would have to wait for other investors to take out their monies first before I could do so, and they also told me the reason being is because of errors that recently took place on the blockchain network. I found their statement to be suspicious so I did further digging only to find out they are not a real investment company nor are they really registered under the UK company register database. they are using a sophisticated algorithm on their website that would show people making profit but your money is not really being traded in the market.

A person on instagram said they were coach jv said if I had a thousand in crypto I could make money! Told him I only had 500 so he said we can start there. Once 500 went in it kept showing I was making money! Then he started bugging for the other 500 to make 1000! I said why I’m doing fine! So next it was I need it to upgrade my trading account. So I said take it out of my profit! That’s when the bull [censored] started!

This company told me I could recover money I lost through a bitcoin romance scam.
They asked for my bitcoin receipts and all information.
They contacted me and said they traced them to a cryptocurrency investment firm
(two different scammers, but both in the same firm)
They talked to me on the WhatsApp which I questioned
They got me logged into the investment firm (which I believe is a scam also)
Tgit...Troy Income and Growth Trust
They showed $520,000 in this account with my email address and my name
then they needed 15% to get my money out and transfer the money to my Coinme Account.
When I told them I did not have 15% up front, they started pressuring me to borrow, etc.
I told them to forget it, hung up on them, and then they left me alone.
I believe both of these companies are out there taking money from people who have already been scammed such as myself.
Plus they are both online on the web.

I tried contacting support it seems like a reputable website . When I tried to cash out I was not allowed to go back in and was blocked from the individual who ever is running the website. I sent money and have receipts via crypto.com app. The “trader” individuals name is Jamie Williams apparently according to Facebook. The bitcoin wallet address they use is:

bc1qr9nnrjlyryykw6tlkvw4pljju7slg2rw2jm6n Contacted the crypto app and they haven’t been much help saying it’s a white listed address or what ever that means I am not clear.

The service was copy trading. Promised high gains. Started requesting little money initially, to build a relationship. Provided data showing the little fund initially contributed grew exponentially and requested more money to be deposited. Very aggressive with promises of BIG gains.

A close friend of mine contacted me on Instagram and told me a close friend of his did crypto mining. I spoke with her also on Instagram and she seems to I know what she was talking about and I felt I could trust her. (Taylor Williams) she asked me how much I could invest and that I would see a large some to withdrawal within 3 hours. So I did and I waited and before I new it I had $10,500 waiting for me to withdrawal. When I went to withdrawal the money I was told I need to purchase a “pin” for $1500. Once I purchased the pin I would receive my withdrawal. So I gathered all the money I had saved to make the purchase. Once I sent the money and received the pin i requested the withdrawal again and I was told I had too much profit and need to upgrade my account. At this point my profit was at $29,500 so I messaged the company asking what the issue was and I received the message below. I did unfortunately send them another $2300 to “upgrade my account”. Once I did I was told I need to send another $4500 or $2200 to upgrade my account to withdrawal a sum that large. I was scammed because I fell for the friend of a friend.

Natalie Brune on Instagram stated that she was making money through bitcoin and would help us make the money too. We paid in smaller increments and turned it into bitcoin on Cash App. Through the TSIFX Market she showed us an app where the money kept going up for our return but had to wait until Wednesday to cash out. On Wednesday she said at noon we would be able to cash out. The market had shot up and we had over $20k in this app but when time to cash out they wanted us to pay 25% of what we wanted to get our money back. The app looks legit and is showing the ups and down in the market in real time or so it says. Each time we added a little bit more money $50 to $100 at a time the amount of money being made went up. It was not discussed about this 25% and now that it is time to cash out and no way to do that the scammer has disappeared. After going back and really looking this instagram account was not legit and have also turned that in but the app or website showing our money really does look legit. They are really into it to make people think it is real. https://www.instagram.com/nataliedrune/ is her instagram page. Natalie drune

So this person located me through tiktok using a fake profile listed under Lindsay Affiliated Marketing accepted me as a friend and message me about making $900 weekly with $100 deposit, he/she then stated if I have a WhatsApp and I said yes so then we continue to communicate through WhatsApp. To make a story short, he/she had me go to this site https://app.polygontrade247.online/register, so I registered, then had me purchase $100 bitcoins from this site https://www.moonpay.com/, once that was deposited to https://app.polygontrade247.online a message notice pop up on this site https://app.polygontrade247.online/ stating once you make you $500 deposit you will start to profit. So I did all these steps, me thinking this is real. But after finding out you need to pay $1000 for a withdrawal form I'm like not this is a total scam, also located the actual real person that owns that TikTok page and she made a post that her profile has been hacked and that they are selling bitcoin/crytpo. This tiktoker only does affiliated Marketing.

The scammer reached out to me via telegram chat to invest in cryptocurrency, promising to teach me each step of the way. When making a withdrawal on the investment website however, customer service has mentioned I owed 33,000 in taxes to make a withdrawal on my account under a short time frame. I have not sent in a payment and have only lost 16,912 USD at this time but I am worried about identity theft being that they have my personal information.
