This site is a scam. I uploaded crypto currency for trading. I made trades and profited. Once I tried to withdraw fund. I was told I needed to upload 500 more dollars in order to withdraw funds. At that time I figured out I was scammed. When I reached out to customer support I was told “ Well I guess

You are trading for the first time these is the standard practice that help regulate and manage the system”. Nowhere on the site does it say that you have to pay a ridiculous 500 fee or anything about withdrawals.

I attempted to invest into this cryptocurrency platform although I was misled by a representative stating there is no minimum startup amount so I send a little bitcoin to fund the account. The funds were removed from my account but didn’t reflect on the investment platform.

The scammer told me that I would receive a blessing but had no intention of sending me the money. They kept asking me to pay a fee to receive it. Then once I sent the fee, they asked for more due to Bitcoin withdrawal fees and then all of a sudden they had a system update and I needed to pay an additional fee then claiming to have not received some fees via bitcoin wallet saying that I sent it to the wrong wallet

Last week I found out about Laura Brandon on Instagram who said she was a Forex Trader. She contacted me and sent her a request to follow her back. We also connected through WhatsApp. It started out with flirting back and forth. We did this for 5-6 days, before I sent her money. I believe this is was a tactic to real me in. She also sent me paperwork proving the legitimacy of the business. On 8/3/23  I sent $200 on Bitcoin. She later told me things were going well with my  account and I had the possibility of getting $10,000. She sent me a link through WhatsApp to go to a website to view everything she told me. She set up a username with my email and the password she made. There wasn't a way for me to even change the password. I sent another $200 and the trading went to the second day. After the second day I decided to Google the business and saw they did not have good reviews. There was also information online that it was a scam. This trading started on Thursday and by Friday she said I had made $14,360 from the $400 I sent. I was then told I had to send $1,000 in order to receive the $14,360. This raised a red flag and I realized this was probably a scam.

Offer help with trafing with crypto contract training. I signed up and paid in about $3415 dollars to the wintcoin.com tradijg platform. Currently my trading has garnered $29277.00. USDT. In all this i was able to withdraw &205.00, when i informed them that i wamted to make sure all systems were working. They will send any withdrawal request to audit status where it stays for days, and and then they come back with "audit refused". This whole set-up is a scam.

I was approached to do an investment into bit coin mining. I was to pay for the mining machines and housing fee for two years. I paid and wired them a bit over 13,000 dollars to start my mining machine. At first I checked the website to see if it was mining. It shows that it has but I have not checked it for months. I know my second year is going to come to an end and I was wondering if I should continue to house my machine. But when I went to the website I can't even get in or try to contact anyone. I have not traded any bit coins or was able to see how much of it I have. I contacted the affiliates who sold me this investments and the they told me their accounts have been frozen. I did some digging and learned there are some.class action lawsuits and I would like to get my investment money back if possible. I do not have direct contact with Donny Vo but I have contact info of his affiliates. Who sold the investment to me.

I invested in Bitcoin from a family friend on Facebook not knowing her account was hacked. I wired $3200 to this person who invested it & after messaging every day for over a month finally told me the account was hacked & if I wanted my money I would have to send them $2K. I set up an account with Coinzoom with their instructions & when the money went their they sent it to Asset Capital Holdings. I still get an email every other day stating money is added to my account. When I tried to wire some of the money to my bank it says it's pending & some were successful but never deposited. I contacted them through email & chat on the site & was told I had to pay fees, give them my SS # , Phone # & front/back of my DL to verify my identity. When I questioned why they needed that when they didn't need it at sign up they said it was for the IRS 1099 form. When I asked for their tax ID number to verify they even had a business they stopped the chat. I have a copy of the transactions from the beginning & I saved all messages & took pictures of the chat. I told them on chat that I would gladly give them my banks phone # to verify my account. They told me I was not following their rules & until I did they could not release my money.

A person I was talking to on Reddit recommended this company to me to invest my crypto.She said they use crypto bots amd shes been making alot of money over the last few years I looked them up online and didnt see anything good or bad about the company so I decided to invest.I tried withdrawing my profits on the site multiple times and it didnt go to my metamask account When I ask why-to the whats app # I provided he says sorry theres a glitch but then I still am not able to withdraw my profits.I also repetedly try to reset my password and it wont let me change it to my own It keeps saying sorry wrong password. Now theyre saying I won a yearly white elephant $100,000 prize that I can withdraw or invest but it wont let me do that either.I had my crypto in ******* before and they warned me about this company being a scam but I didnt listen.The lady I was talking to on reddit said "of course they dont want you to switch your crypto to blubird thats why theyre saying that."She was tryng to get me to put even more $ in with her to make more "profits" -me $20,000 her putting in $10,000,after I made the initial $5,000 deposit.Her name on reddit is Austingirl warmonger. Bluebird auto trade said I cant withdraw my money for 120 days after my initial deposit but I cant even withdraw the profits,only one time in the amunt of $120.00.All other requests never went through so I doubt Im going to recover my $.English seems to be thier second language.The address listed on thier website isnt a valid address either.I just noticed that today.

I was notified there was a problem with my bank and I was asked to help them solve the problema and identify the person involved in my bank. I was told to go to the bank and withdraw funds and take them to a Bit Coin machine. The money would be incripted and allow the people that initated the scam to locate the person in the bank what was dishonest. They said they would use bank funds to make this happen. They had already got into my account and transferred the money from my savings to checking. When I asked the bank for the $4500 they gave it to me. I knew that I didn't have that much money in checking so I thought that what they were telling me was true. I with drew the money and took it to the Bit Coin machine that I was told to. I realized there was something wrong and immediately called Bit Coin. They were able to see where I had deposited the money and prevented it from being transfered to the scammers. I was told be Bit Coin that it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get the money back and that they would keep 10%. I wonder if Bit Coin is in on the scam. Ihave not received any money back. The date of the scam was April 3rd 2023.

This started with Natco Recoup who referred me to Cfsinvestment.org. Both claim legit, but I get excuses from them to take my money out. Now Casey Clyde Tech claims legit to get it out. Its scam on scam over and over again. These peeps will say withdrawal fee, verifcation fee, and now levy tax fee. They won't let me have my money out of the website! I don't know who to trust to help me get it out! So many scams out there... who do we trust to get help to recover my money??? This sucks!!

CRYPTO SCAM ALERT !!!!!!!

Beware of these names and numbers, it is a scam network preying on crypto investors. They ask for you to invest ALL your crypto then when you tell them how much that you can invest they demand that you invest more to get maximum return on investment. They say that you can withdraw your funds at any time, but you have to get more money to do the configuration to get your money out. They constantly degrade you and say it’s not a scam and that they wouldn’t work for a company that scams people and they have a reputation to uphold.

I’ve been trying to withdraw my funds for over 2 weeks now. They say that they have my funds but just needs more money for configuration of the withdraw. It’s a total SCAM and if not, they should get me my money back without charging over $800. They continue to contact me to get more money to release my money, so they say.

Befriended someone online. They introduced me to this “great” site, using crypto, as asavings account with freedom for withdrawing. After moving my savings, I’m unable to withdraw. Lost my entire savings because it all looked so legitimate. I have much more info available.
