This is the CEO of the company info: Alix de Sagazan
LinkedIn profile. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alixddsagazan/ . I tried reaching out to her and no response.
Her email [email protected] and sent email, no response
Her website abtasty.com - learn about the company and what it does
How this all started. I was sent a WhatsApp message asking if I was interested in part time work. I said what is it and then Sarah began to explain it all as it shows on website abtasty.com in what they do. Being in the IT industry for 24 years I understood. I said yes. She began getting me set up with ABTasty app and also I needed to setup a Crypto.com account.
I started following directions of her training where I had 40/40 tasks to complete after putting in $101 and would earn .05% on each task (data optimization of each merchant). I completed task set and received $48 in my wallet. She showed me how to withdraw all $48 to my Crypto.com account and then convert it from USDC to USD. Then I was able to wire directly to my personal account. I did this a total of 3 times. Then she said I can raise you to a VIP2 level now. (there are 4 levels of VIP). I still didn't understand all of this and went with flow. So I was a VIP2 level where I earned .075% on each task. Now the task set was set 50/50. I thought this was easy money. I was in for a life changing event over a course of 2 months working with Sarah. I believe at task 20 something I had what they call a combination happen where a merchant is paid out 10 times more than what you have in profit. What this means is I had around $500 in profit and the profit scale went to negative $2200. This means you have to fund the account $2200 to finish task. After many many questions trying to understand all of this and listening to her tell us this is real and not a scam so many times and me wanting so much detail that she would not give, my wife and I were in this together and believed her stories. I physically talked with her on the phone 4 times.
So we funded account into our Crypto.com account and then she always helped converting USD to USDC then I would have to reach out to CS on app (top right corner of app will take you to a representative. Which was strange because I always got Amelia.) to request an encrypted address 42 digits in numbers and letters. This address was then added through many navigation and then when i sent it over to the ABTasty website through Amelia she would do whatever on the backend to add the money to my wallet and plus a bonus amount would be added depending on the amount you funded. Based on there percentage chart.
So now I was in the positive and could continue finishing tasks. Well here is where the craziness got worse. A few more task finished I believe the 2nd combination was around 31/50. Again it needed funded to complete. This time is was around $22k. We fell for it again. 4th one happened again at 49/50. Now it needed funded $74k. We fell for her story again 4th time. This time I made her put her own money in of $33400. Then we hit 50/50 which should of been completed and now i should have been able to withdraw all of it. I received a 5th combination now wanting $32k. Again we fell for it.
So now my account sits with $176,197. This included our retirement of $105,400 + bonuses they give you + all the fee reimbursements they give you+ tax deferment 2 times they gave us + Sarah's money of $33,400.
I tried going through with the withdrawal and it was flagged I could not withdraw. Amelia (CS) says I would need to speak to a specialist to repair the order. Gave me the phone number which are all land lines. This person name did not show up like all the others. Just a picture. She was very rude in explaining to me how I needed to repair the merchant complaints and the order timing. All a bunch of BS now looking back. She said she needs $30k to repair the account and then I will get all my money. Here is where my wife and I knew for sure we were scammed bad out of our retirement amount $105,400.
At this point I would love to talk about this entire process to an assigned agent because I know with all the information I have, conversations, phone numbers, Instagram account, screenshots you can bust these people. I want them stopped before more people like myself get scammed out of there money. I believe they try to bankrupt people. I would love for your help to get our money back of $105,400.
The people I was involved with named if its their real names plus land line numbers;
Sarah Deroche - My trainer. 1-202-773-5708
Amelia Smith - CS. 1-347-937-6678
Issue specialist - no name. Lady picture. 1-225-502-8021
I also belong to a group chat of 89 members on WhatsApp doing the same thing. Doesn't appear anyone has experienced what I have.
I have a couple more people I talked privately where I seeked information.
At this point I need to know what I should do. Keep them on the hook talking like none of this is going on or stop talking to them period? Please inform me.
Thank you for your help,
****** * ******** ************ ********************** P.S. When I was doing a lot of research before things got out of hand. I could not find any lawsuits against them. I called FTC and the BBC and nothing reported. I filed a complaint with BBC. So this is on file. Justanswers.com is a website for Lawyer advice. There are some things about this company on there. Redit.com has many people on there calling it a scam but no one pursued any action against the company. This is why my wife and I thought it was still legit. Although wife had a feeling it was a scam but we could not prove it. Unfortunately we know now.

Type of a scam Employment
This complaint details fraudulent activity and significant financial losses I experienced while working for W Communications, a company claiming to be a digital marketing and PR agency. I am filing this complaint with Coinbase Support and your legal department due to the potential involvement of your platform in facilitating these fraudulent transactions involving cryptocurrency transfers.
**Background**
On April 1st, 2024, I was contacted by someone claiming to be an HR assistant from AK LLC, offering a work-from-home job related to product optimization. This led me to W Communications, where I received training and began "optimizing" products for them on April 2nd. The process involved depositing cryptocurrency (ETH) to complete tasks and supposedly earn a fixed salary and bonuses. All communication with W Communications occurred through WhatsApp with a "mentor" and "Customer Service" representatives.
**The Scheme**
W Communications explained the job as optimizing products for online platforms. The process involved depositing cryptocurrency (ETH, BTC, or USDT) to clear negative balances incurred during optimization tasks. Communication with "Customer Service" via WhatsApp was necessary for daily tasks and resolving negative balances.
**Fraudulent Activity**
On April 11th, 2024, I was contacted by someone named Catherine (UK phone number) claiming to be with W Communications' CS. Catherine offered to help me withdraw funds without additional deposits, which contradicted instructions from legitimate CS. Over the following days, I was misled by Catherine into transferring a total of $26,017.61 in ETH to an address she provided.
On April 19th, I reported Catherine to W Communications, who confirmed she was a fake. They assured me they would recover the lost funds.
**Further Complications**
* **Unexpected Credit Score System:** After resolving the fraud, I attempted to withdraw funds. However, my account credit score had dropped due to the Catherine incident, restricting withdrawals until it reached 90%. W Communications instructed me to deposit additional funds totaling $180,000 to raise the score.
* **Incorrect Withdrawal Address:** On April 25th, I deposited a significant amount for withdrawal, but W Communications claimed their AI system used an incorrect address due to human error. They proposed a lengthy recovery process or an "accelerated recovery" requiring a further 40% deposit as a "reward" for miners to recover the funds.
* **Additional Funds Requested:** To expedite recovery, I deposited additional funds upon W Communications' and my "tutor's" advice. My requests for them to use the recovered funds to cover the remaining amount were denied. I have filed for a refund of the Tether reward deposit but have yet to receive confirmation.
**Current Situation**
As of May 10th, 2024, I have lost a significant amount of money through this apparent fraud scheme with W Communications. All of my funds remain inaccessible. I have filed complaints with relevant law enforcement agencies and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
**Request for Action**
I am requesting Coinbase to investigate W Communications' business practices and potential involvement in facilitating these fraudulent transactions. Additionally, I request assistance in recovering the lost funds, totaling $330,568.88 (including the initial fraud by Catherine, the additional deposits to meet the credit score, and the lost withdrawal attempt).
I submitted an online FRAUD complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Report number: ********* and with the City of Novi, Michigan Police Department with Officer ** *********** Report Reference number: *********** On 8th May, 2024 I filed a formal complaint with the Attorney General, State of Michigan, USA Complaint Identification Number: ********************, and with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) IC3 section. On May 9th, 2024 I met with Detective ****** ******** of the Novi Police Department and provided all the details of this FRAUD.
**Evidence**
I have documented the entire episode with screenshots of communication on WhatsApp, including chat backups and copies of all relevant transactions. I am prepared to provide this evidence to support my claims.
**Conclusion**
I urge Coinbase to take immediate action to protect myself and others from potentially falling victim to similar schemes. Following are the specific State and Federal laws that are applicable to my complaint.
Background:
On April 1st, 2024, I was contacted by someone named “Isabella” claiming to be an HR assistant from AK LLC, offering a work-from-home job related to product optimization. This led me to W Communications, where I received training and began "optimizing" products for them on April 2nd by my tutor Emily with registered WhatsApp number +44 7473 692590. The process involved depositing cryptocurrency (ETH) to complete tasks and supposedly earn a fixed salary and bonuses. All communication with W Communications occurred through WhatsApp with a "mentor" (Emily) and "Customer Service" representatives (CS) using various US phone numbers. Their contact numbers included: +1 (202) 369-3192, +1 (314) 203-8672, and +1 (626) 283-9952.
The Scheme:
Emily explained the job as optimizing products for online platforms like Amazon and eBay to increase their ranking. The process involved depositing cryptocurrency (ETH, BTC, or USDT) to clear negative balances incurred during optimization tasks. Communication with "Customer Service" (CS) via WhatsApp was necessary for daily tasks and resolving negative balances.
Fraudulent Activity:
On April 11th, 2024, I was contacted by someone named Catherine (UK phone number +44 7900 657619) claiming to be with W Communications' CS.
Catherine offered to help me withdraw funds without additional deposits, which contradicted instructions from legitimate CS.
Over the following days, I was misled by Catherine into transferring a total of $26,017.61 in ETH to an address she provided (******************************************).
On April 19th, I reported Catherine to Emily, who confirmed she was a fake. W Communications' CS confirmed this and assured me they would recover the lost funds.
Further Complications:
· Unexpected Credit Score System: After resolving the fraud, I attempted to withdraw funds. However, my account credit score had dropped due to the Catherine incident, restricting withdrawals until it reached 90%. CS instructed me to deposit additional funds to raise the score, totaling $180,000.
· Incorrect Withdrawal Address: On April 25th, I deposited $330,568.88 for withdrawal, but CS claimed the AI system used an incorrect address due to human error. Tether, the cryptocurrency company, was supposedly contacted for recovery, but the process involved a lengthy wait (712-1005 working days) or an "accelerated recovery" requiring a further 40% deposit as a "reward" for miners to recover the funds.
· Additional Funds Requested: To expedite recovery, I deposited another $30,281.37 upon Emily's advice and these are her funds since she decided to help me with my situation. This leaves a remaining balance of $101,946.182 Tether required for Tether's "accelerated recovery." My requests for CS to use the recovered funds to cover the remaining amount were denied. I have filed for a refund of the Tether reward deposit on May 9th and have yet to receive confirmation of the refund to Emily’s crypto wallet.
· Despite their initial assurances, W Communications has not recovered the funds lost due to Catherine's fraud.
· My account balance supposedly reached $143,614.29 after several deposits to clear negative balances resulting from "combo products."
· However, a "credit score" system within the W platform prevented me from withdrawing funds unless the score reached 90%.
· To increase the score, W Communications required additional deposits totaling $180,000.
· On April 23rd, a further deposit of $66,697.54 was made to my account by Emily to help reach the 90% score.
· On April 25th, I deposited an additional $120,500, liquidating my daughter's college fund to meet the credit score requirement.
· Finally, when attempting to withdraw the entire balance, I was informed of a supposed error where W Communications' AI system mistyped the withdrawal address, resulting in a loss of $330,568.88 USDT.
· W Communications proposed an "accelerated recovery" process with Tether, requiring a 40% deposit ($132,227.552 USDT) as "reward money" for miners.
Current Situation:
As of May 10th, 2024, I have lost a significant amount of money ($330,568.88 USD) through this FRAUD scheme with W Communications. My W Platform tutor Emily sent Crypto ETH To Tether per CS request, in the amount of $30,281.37 USD as a deposit towards the 40% reward for miners to recover my alleged lost funds because of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) mistake of W Platform System. On May 9th I informed the W Communication CS to apply for the refund of the funds sent by Emily and they agreed. I have yet to receive any confirmation from W CS. ALL of my funds remain inaccessible. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
***** ******* ******
