It’s a Tesla company token that they were offering $.95 and in a few weeks it’s gonna be worth 1295 and the more money you put down the more bonuses you get. There’s a withdrawal feature, but it’s not applicable so I could not take back out. I just wanna know if this is a scam. I’m pretty sure it is and I think my son fell for it also for 1000.

The scammer told me to buy crypto-currency and said that I was earning interest every day on that deposit. I was told to keep on putting in more money in order to buy more crypto but I was unable to withdraw from my account which they initially said I could do. I was told that once I reached $100.00 of profit, I could withdraw the money. I was prompted to keep depositing money in order to get to the $500.00 amount. They said that the more money I put in, the more profit I would make. The withdrawal function did not work and now the website no longer exists. My deposits cannot be returned to me.

He approached me as a friend on the internet and deceived me by saying that he would make profits from short-term trading of ETH and BTC with USDT. He put his money into my account and built trust, leading me to make the injection. When I tried to withdraw the money, he considered the money my friend had put in as money laundering, so he blocked my account and told me that I had to put in 10% more before I could withdraw it.

I was approached by Mr Roberts about a crypto investment with his platform called Newlineinvestments, and I had to invest between $500-$1,000 to start, but he continue adding “FEES” and never sent me any profits or anything from this investment, after about 4 months and $3,000 in “fees” I told him that I couldn’t afford anything else, so he became disrespectful and demanded another fee be paid before profits could be sent.

I added money to a Bitcoin account I opened and when I tried to withdraw the money I was unable to. according to the sight the money is still there but I'm unable to get it I've requested help from the support team but never to received any response after leaving several email request. I asked for instructions from other experienced crypto users and Bitcoin site customer service teams and they're not familiar with terms used by BCRPRO that would explain the reasoning used for why the money doesn't transfer. Each attempt says successful operation but the money doesn't leave the site and is reversed back into the account. I am not sure the money I have put in is actually there although it appears to be there and I'm able go through the process to transfer the funds it action just isn't completed

They do events in hotels and have people that have already invested bring more people for a big commission. Depending on how much you invest is what return you will earn. For Carmen and many others that have called my show asking if its a legit investment they have offered a 9% monthly return with a $10,000 investment. I have a radio show in Spanish where I teach the basics of personal finances, get out of debt, save, invest, live on a budget etc. When they ask how the money is invested, they are very secretive and say that they invest in crypto, forex and others. One thing is to offer a course to teach to invest, but they take peoples money "in cash" as an investment firm and promising those returns. This company is not licensed and they don't have offices here. Their offices are in Mexico but they are not registered in Mexico either. There base is in some foreign country by Australia called Vanuatu. I have seen over the years several of these Ponzi schemes come and go from Mexico. Recently there were two hispanic guys running something very similar by the name of CryptoFX. Many, many spanish speaking hispanics lost money in Chicago and Texas. Not long ago there was another ponzi scheme that got huge with origins from mexico, just like this one Smart Plus, called Xifra. That one also took millions from people. I took calls from people that fell in that onw as well. The reason why I am writing is because the lady that went to the hotel told me on the call that they use my face in their presentation. I have no contract and they are using my influence to manipulate people. I really hope you can do something about this before many more people get financially hurt. Sincerely Andres Gutierrez

I wanted to update my Cashapp contact information. I googled a phone number for them. I called 888-529-5746. I spoke to a woman, Michelle. She told me to download Anydesk, which I did. Then she told me to go my link bank and Chase account. I was moving money out of my GoTo bank account. Then she directed me to deposit $520 into a Bitcoin account. Now, when I call, a man answers and he won't let me take to Michelle, and hangs up.

I invested in a crypto mining project through CryptoFxmTrade. Shortly after making an investment, the company executed a bait and switch scam to try to require me to sent additional money to be part of an upgraded program. Then, they attempted to charge me $500 to verify my identify. At this point, I refused to send the company any more monet. This company is a ponzi scheme

In November of 2022, I met Amanda on Facebook. She and I were messaging. She said she was Asian and lived in Baltimore, MD. She showed me a MD Drivers license. She said her uncle worked on Wall Street, and she is unavailable through the week. She said she had an inside track into crypto. She presuaded me to join a fake company, Redcoin 01. She showed me how to wire money to crypto.com. I set up an account there. Crypto.com is a warehouse that holds your money until you tell them where to send it. I had the money sent to RedOne 01. I could see a graph showing my money was increasing on a graph. She said she was putting money into the RedCoin account too: $20,000, $18,000. She was contacting me from Cambodia. We communicated a lot through WattsApp. I could see her on screen, and she looked like she was in a rich person's home, or a friend's house. The last money I deposited was in january 2023. In February 2023, the account reached 1 million. So, I went to make a withdrawal. I was told I could not withdraw the money until I paid $1,000, and she became hateful with me. Then I began contacting scam advisors on the internet, and they wantd a lot of money to track her down, like $20,000. I went to my bank, US Bank, in New Albany and showed the bank manager the pictures of my RedOne account. She sent me a fraud notice, saying I was involved in fraud scams and closed my account. Then I received a call from job and family services saying they ahad gotten a referral for elder abuse. I told Job and Family Services that I was just investing in crypto and not to worry about it. Amanda was very persuasive that everything was fine. I called FTC and was told to put a freeze on my credit report.

I meant this individual through the social media app tick tock. His handle name is West Coast wizard AKA Alex Vasa. He was warning people of getting their cryptocurrency off of coinbase and Trust wallet and to put it onto this broker site to secure crypto funds on the qfs system. After transferring my funds to The qfsxLedger.com I was unable to interact with my crypto or move it. As of June 14th 2024 the website is no longer available and I have no idea how to recover my crypto. Please send any information about this website to my email address on how I might be able to recover my crypto . [email protected]

I am writing to inform you that I believe I have been a victim of a scam
involving my trading investment broker. All the purchases in Bitcoin
and Ethereum made between July 14, 2023, and October 11, 2023,
through legaltrustinv platform are fraudulent. My broker/trader () has
been confirmed as a fraud and scammer, and the platform she used is
fake and fraudulent." I have trust wallet and she has access to it as
she is a professional trader and was doing my trading. Was supposed
to get my $1.3 million dollars but each time Bryan from legal trust
says there is a late fee or escrow fees. All the time some kind of fees.
I kindly request that you assist me in the process of getting these
fraudulent purchases charged back to my Wells Fargo bank account. I
also had to wire on August 31, 2023 $60,000 to the brokers friend in
California so she could buy bitcoin and pay the tax and also I had to
wire on October 11, 2023 $ 9,000.00 to the same individual to pay
escrow fee. All other transactions were done on trust wallet and
Mercuyo.
I have evidence of the fraudulent transactions and are willing to
provide any necessary documentation.
Please provide me with next steps on how to handle this situation and
get my money back.
Sincerely
****** *****

My mother is being scammed by a person using the identity of Axel Vasa aka the West Coast Wizard who claims to be in the bloodline of Jesus and is JKF Jr’s secret twin brother. He has gained her trust and has convinced her that the banks are closing and if she doesn’t move all of her funds into a QFS (Quantum Financial System) Ledger account then she will lose all of her money once the banks go down. After depleting her entire savings (at least $20,000) to ‘invest’ her money into QFS she then took out a HELOC ($50,000) on her home and transferred all of that money over a 14-day period by withdrawing it from the bank and depositing it into bitcoin machines where Axel Vasa is then able to retrieve the funds. ‘They’ have created a fake account where my mom is able to view all the money she had invested so far, but (of course) she does not have access to the funds. I believe Axel originally reached out to mom on Facebook then took their conversations to places such as WhatsApp, TikTok, X, Truth Social and so on. Mom has given him access and permission to use her social media accounts because ‘he keeps getting kicked off of them because he is trying to save the world and tell the truth’ (in other words just trying to scam other people). He has since taken over all of her social media accounts and switched them all over to ‘Axel Vasa’ accounts. So mom, no longer has her social media accounts. He has also convinced her that they are in a relationship and in love and convinced her to put her house up for sale to go to California to be with him… of course with the hopes that he would obtain the house money. This is a very long story and it’s been a battle. I have so much more information I could share… it just goes on and on. We (all 5 of her children) essentially had to take mom to court to obtain guardianship of her estate, which we won! The judge agreed that mom was in a scam. It’s only been a few weeks since we obtained the order. Mom still wants to sell the house and we put up for sale just this week. She still believes that she is going to go to California to be with Axel, but we know this not to be the case… my sister will take her in and has a room ready for her. Clearly, as you can tell, mom might have some cognitive health issues going on, but I also believe she has been brainwashed by ‘Axel’. I do believe this is a whole production of scammers and the scammers know mom is an easy target because different ones are reaching out to her all the time trying different tactics. We will be changing her phone out here shortly and getting her a new phone number. 2 other scammers names that have also reached out to mom on FaceBook go by the names of Zach Rector (a bitcoin guy) and David Miller (a widowed US Army Sergent currently base in Syria - this one asked my mom to hold 1 million dollars worth of gold for him until he returns back to the states)

Contacted via messenger on FaceBook. Scammer follows my FB page. Chatted in messenger then "scammer" disclosed they were a financial planner and knew of an investment that had a quick turnaround and was profitable. I asked what the least that could be invested, because I was sceptical and really know better. They said $300 was the least amount. After thinking about it for about 24 hrs I decided to do it, if it was a scam so be it. As soon as I deposited the $300 in their website, I got a message through messenger that said I needed to deposit another $300, "it happens like that sometime." I refuse to deposit more and then a message was sent to me saying their manager has corrected the error. I ignored over 100 calls through messenger from this individual. Finally, they say the market will close and I need to withdrawal my win fall of $7500 but before I can do so I must pay a withdrawal fee of between $500 and $700 and pay the individual 10% for their fee. Throughout these 4 days they have commented on every post I've made on Facebook with "why won't you text me back", "you were talking to me before, what's wrong"....
