Meet through Facebook dating immediately went to whatsapp talked romantically sweet talk and everything but conviently she's on a business trip in Malaysia she had background story of her amd also side events that were happening in her life. She spoke what she does business in beauty and beverage shows and gives financial wealth advice which is good advice but how she executed was for the scam introduced znzkltd and her gains then asked about it and offered an invite code and it was a last one of hers. Traded small usdt and followed her calls lost once and won many times eventually gained 4k in the platform but then later days of trading she suggested entering in the top tier trades which required 100k she then lent me 100k to trade and made 361k told to with draw and had to pay fee to get it. Didn't pay because previous I had p8t inmy own money and payday loans into and 10k is alot to me of fees. So I still have her in contacts but playing it out and see how she interacts with me. Looked up pig butcher and came across all sorts of relatable co tent and met this .

Approached by a guy named who was impersonating an IG business person (Bashar J Katou) in which I did not know until it was to late. The imitator is (Bashar J Katoua).Talked about crypto investments and how you can turn a little into a lot basically. Gets you to sign up on the investing website RemitanceFX.co(com). After investing, he requests you send 9% of total amount made to release withdraw code. Once you pay and do the withdraw, the companies "HR department" reaches out and sends you an email saying that it cannot be completed and to download(use) their appropriated website which is a highly suspicious and dangerous website thats only been up since Sep 2022. After doing a lot of research I realized that this was a scam. Im writing this in hoping that no one else gets caught.

The Email contained miscellaneous quotes from the bible, with an attachment linking to a pdf file with "Etherium Crypto" as the header. I did not use the attachment.

The Email was titled as though they were giving me some form of crypto currency.

Everything about the email appeared to be nonsensical.

Saw add on Facebook regarding Tesla Coin. Filled in application to have someone contact me. Fellow phoned by the name of Andy, said he was working with Canadians for the investment of Tesla coin. He sounded legit, so gave him Credit Card information to begin the process of getting shares in the Tesla Coin. He did warn us not to pay any more than $250/USD. He then proceeded to send a text which included what he said was a one-time code. He then asked what the code was and we gave him the 6-digit code. He said it wasn't going through because the system didn't pick up on the postal code and that he would text again with another code, which he did. Again, gave him the code that was sent and again he said that system didn't pick up on the postal code. He did this 3 times. He then said that they were so busy that the servers were being overwhelmed and that he would phone us back in 1/2 and hour after they were able to get it through. In the meantime, our bank phoned us and was wondering if we had okay'd charges against our Credit Card in 4-5 different amounts in about 15 minutes. He then said to us that it was a scam and that because they were one-time codes they could not reimburse the amounts. So he suggested canceling our Credit Card so nothing else could go through. We now know how to check out if these companies are fraudulent or not, and believe me we are definitely going to check things out from now on. Please do not fall victim of these people, they are not looking out for your best interest, they are looking out for theirs.

This company said that they would give me a dash cam for free- (in costco flyer( in small writing - so small I didn’t see it- if I didn’t cancel in 30 days I had to pay $125/ month u til I cancel -- I could never get through to the number - when I did they said they charge this because I never cancelled- I never ordered them to start the dash cam. Actually I never took it out of the box! They are scammers and full of crap! This number is just bad group of people !!! So bummed they were related to Costco

Hello my name is Heather, I am texting you today because I have a friend that I fear has fallen victim to a cryptocurrency scam. And it’s going to be very hard to explain this to him that he has been taken advantage of.

In my opinion she is playing the reverse psychology game by acting like she doesn’t need any money. And of course that would trigger the person on the other end of the line to say she’s not after money so she can’t be a scammer. And of course that’s the biggest red flag right there in itself. But I am going to need confirmation from the Better Business Bureau to have the proof that I need to show him that he needs to cut all ties with this and report this to the Better Business Bureau. He saying that he’s already made a profit, and of course that is the other red flag. They give you back proof with a little bit of money And you begin to fall for that it is true. But in reality they are going to hit you with a huge amount of money and try to see if you will take the bait. If this was truly legit, there would never be no photos exchanged. So I will be forwarding over the photos for you to take a look at. And of course it’s a young beautiful girl that is hitting on an older man. It’s unfortunate, but he seems to think that she is real. She is promising to move down here to Rockport to be with him. Oh but that’s right she is a professional banker with cryptocurrency trying to get people to invest. If this doesn’t scream red flag I don’t know what doesn’t. But I do need the proof to show him. Thank you

Asked for a crypto deposit for a bonus and I bet on the colts vs broncos game won the bet and then suddenly the account disappears. Then when I call the real betonline.ag they said I don’t have an account. Also when I called betonline they said they don’t affiliate with them.

I commented on a post on my friends FaceBook page asking if anyone needed help with a bill. I said I needed $200. I got an inbox through messager telling me to buy bitcoin through Cash app. First they asked me to buy $20 then they asked me for an additional $32 dollars. I told them that was all I had. After that they asked me for $70 then $100. I didn’t give them the $70 or the $100, but they got a picture of my ID. They also asked me for my Facebook information. Now they are holding my Facebook page hostage. I’ll chalk the $52 dollars up to me being sick and dumb at the moment, but I’d like my Facebook page back. They said I have to give them $100 dollars to get it back. They changed their email and phone number to the authentication process and I can’t access or change my password. They have a picture of my drivers license so I keep sending Facebook my passport with no avail. I’ve been home sick. Now I can’t use my Facebook. I feel silly. Awful scam and timing.

Through the app Coinbase a 3rd party was able to use this to trick the individual into paying them $17300 and making it look like they were able to do futures trading platform of crypto to appear like they were making money. It showed that the original amount had increased to over $100k and upon trying to withdraw that a series of red tapes and other difficulties arose, ultimately resulting in them asking him to pay $16,296.8776 USDT for tax purposes for the profit of $85,773.04 USDT.

I was notified because of fraudulent charges on my Citibank Visa credit card account. Someone had gotten a hold of my informed and accounts. They had charged thousands of dollars on many credit cards. So I started getting phone calls and dealing with people that I thought were helping me. Turns out that wasn't the case. I was helping them steal money from my bank accounts and take over my email and bank accounts unwittingly. I feel so foolish now that I can stand back and look in and see it all now. I now have $2500 locked in an Binance US account that he helped me set up and I can't get it out. Then he also purchased another $2500 from my bank card but I blocked that. My bank accounts are now locked. So I contacted Binance US and they asked me to send them a video of me holding my license and telling them my name and address and email. I'm not doing that. How do I know that this Binance US person isn't working with the Scammer. I can't trust anyone anymore. Please help me get my money out of this place. Cryptocurrency I want to transfer it back to my bank account. I'm locked out of my Binance US account right now so I have no access to it.

Thanks for your time,

Ms Peggy Trades claims she can make you money through crypto trading. Once you set up she keeps asking for more money. She makes money but you never receive a payout. She or whoever it is can’t give you any info about herself. This should have been a red flag. She used [email protected]

I watched a video on an affiliate marketing site about a man named Papa Don Meek. I messaged him TikTok to ask questions about affiliate marketing. He told me that real profits are made in forex. I asked more and he told me there was a minimum $1k investment. He pointed me to a site that only accepted bitcoin. Over a few months, I contributed $1k in bitcoin to my account. He began trading, which he said takes 48 hours. At the conclusion, the account was worth $15000. I was required to upgrade my account from bronze to silver due to a $13,500 cap on bronze. The account was actually at $22k with bonuses. He said if I upgraded my account for $5k to a silver package, $21k of the $22k could be withdrawn immediately. I had to leave $1k in the account to keep it active. I asked for the $1k investment back, and was told no.
