Description of the Scheme
I was invited to join a WhatsApp group named "Morgan-D Club," which was presented as an investment advice group. The group's supposed profit-sharing model required members to pay 10% of the profits they earned. Initially, I used my own trading account and experienced positive results. However, the group later introduced the concept of "primary market trading," claiming it was legal and could be executed at the previous day's closing prices of stocks.

Claim: Tied up with **** ****** to offer institutional trading accounts
Description of Events
Mike Wilson informed the group that primary market trading could only be performed through institutional accounts and offered to facilitate the process through a company called LileTOP. He provided a certificate of registration purportedly from Colorado. Following his instructions, I invested $12,000 through various means, including cryptocurrency transfers and wire transfers.
I was given access to a trading account on LileTOP's platform, which showed significant gains, amounting to over $1 million. However, upon attempting to withdraw funds, I was informed by the support team that my account was restricted due to unpaid club commissions.
Final Communication
Upon submitting a withdrawal request, I received the following message from the support team:
"Dear user, we have received your withdrawal application. The system shows that you are one of the distinguished members of Morgan Club. As a cooperative platform of Morgan Club, we know that there have been cases where cooperative members have withdrawn funds but did not pay the commission in accordance with the agreement. Therefore, after checking with Morgan Club, you have not paid the club commission, so we have not yet accepted your withdrawal. Your account is currently restricted from withdrawal. If you have paid the commission in accordance with the agreement, we will process your withdrawal application as soon as possible. If you have not paid the commission, please contact Morgan Club Management to calculate the commission. After the commission is settled, contact us and we will lift the restrictions on your account, and you can withdraw funds at will."
Research Findings
Upon further investigation, I discovered that this scheme has victimized numerous individuals in a similar manner, as evidenced by discussions on forums such as Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1cjnewr/premarket_trading_uncertainty/)...⇄ />
Request for Action
Given the fraudulent nature of this scheme, I urge your office to investigate these individuals and entities promptly. The financial and emotional toll this scam has taken on me and other victims is significant. I hope that appropriate legal actions can be taken to prevent further exploitation.
