I was referred to the website, apiyuxw.dodoexcavateeth.com by a woman who reached out to me through Facebook named, Nora Lee stating her Chinese name as being, Yu-Qi Guo, (332-733-8047). The Dodo website was working with me to earn money via crypto-mining and I had reportedly made, $126271 through my investments and was informed that all the money had to be withdrawn by the end of the year for tax purposes. Upon requesting withdrawal, the DODO website stated that I needed to pay a $6000 processing fee, and New York State and Federal Taxes prior to releasing my funds. I complied with these items and paid an additional $7000 for New York State taxes and $18901 for Federal Taxes to the company who advised that they would provide this to the government for tax purposes. My reported profits from the website (DODO) was never released to me and the DoDo website stated that I needed to provide an additional $15000 payment to "investigate" where the money I was to be provided was not sent to me. The DoDo website is stating that all my funds are being detained by my Crypto Wallet Company, Metamask, due to concerns over potential, "illegal financial gain". I contacted Metamask and was informed that no money had been sent to them, nor would they be able to hold and not release someone's money to them.

All information supplied is what I thought was truth but clearly could be false. I “met” “Andrew” (Andrea) Garcia on the Christian dating app Upward on 9/8/22. Ph # 917-905-3138 (now disconnected). Telegram username: @A_ww0816 – he erased all our messages on 10/26 after final payment). From Italy. Been in US since 2013: San Francisco then Brooklyn and now in Wesley Heights in Charlotte, NC. Parents alive; has 4-year-younger sister. Bday 7/18/86. Went to Berkley with degrees in finance and an MBA. Sr Data analyst: market research trial data and financial data analysis. He also recommended Chase bank because that’s what he uses.

After developing a “relationship” over a few weeks, I started making deposits on 9/22 into Crypto.com then transferring them to DefiWallet through the browser www.daytradingwallet.com which comes up under the site MetaMask. On 9/25, I withdrew my first (and only) small profit of <$400. Subsequently in using the daytradingwallet site, I approved (with Andrew’s permission) a couple pop-ups. The daytradingwallet site in early October now read www.protradingtv.com. On 10/12, the site changed to: www.wdcrhlb.xyz. On 10/19, in attempting to withdraw profits, I received this message saying my requested withdrawal of funds was frozen: “Hello, dear customers, in accordance with the IRS regulations on short-term investment income tax for individuals in the United States, in order to ensure that you receive the funds smoothly, you need to prepay 25% of the total account tax within 7 working days. Your current account The Total profit is 174,944.75 USDT, and the tax amount is US$ 43,736. After the pre-paid tax is completed, it is convenient for you to withdraw cash. Please pay the tax in time. After the tax payment is successful, our exchange will send you an email with the IRS tax payment details W2. Thank you for your cooperation!” I inquired to Customer Service about just using the profits to pay the tax, and received this message: “Hello, you cannot use the account balance to pay your prepaid tax. Please complete the tax payment within the specified time. If you maliciously evade tax and pay insufficient tax, you will be subject to the corresponding provisions according to Section 7201 of Title 26 of the United States Code. Penalties, up to 5 years in Prison; fines of up to $250,000 (for individuals) or $500,000 (for organizations) for offenders; or both, and court costs, please be aware.” Upon request, I was then given an “exclusive BTC prepaid tax address." I was going to scrap together funds, and Andrew was going to lend me $20K.

I submitted my “payment” of $27,855.98 on 10/26 to the exclusive tax address. When I contacted customer service to confirm the transaction, I noticed the daytradingwallet site again changed and was now www.ntyhwsz.xyz. As soon as I messaged Andrew a transaction completed screenshot and could he please submit his part, all our Telegram messages disappeared. His phone number was also disconnected. DeFiWallet’s customer service wouldn’t respond. I contacted Crypto.com customer service who said I was scammed.

Currently, my DeFiWallet says I have $376,834.11 USDT in it, of which none is accessible and probably not real profits as Crypto.com customer service told me.

In total, including personal loans, fees, cash advance, etc, I lost at least $238,933.50 plus what will be about $27,000 in IRS Taxes since I took out retirement money early including the penalty fee of 10% and taxes on “income.”

I also fell victim to a similar scam,I met an Asian lady online called Li Wang and during our conversations other interests came up and she told me about her occupation of being an online trader of cryptocurrency. She started to share more and more about how she has been successful. She traded through a platform called ssjtcf-group that allows you to conduct cryptocurrency option trading. Through discussions I became interested and set up an account that he helped me create. My account went through my crypto wallet so I felt it was secure. Through my wallet I would go to my browser and type in ssjtcf-group .  Com From here I would have access to their platform and could conduct crypto option trading.
She and I would communicate through WhatsApp most entirely this is were all of my transactions and records of the conversation are held. In order to trade, I would deposit money from my bank and into Coinbase, from Coinbase I would then transfer the funds into my account. Everything was in my control and only guided by her. I began trading on the platform with her guidance. She would have me take screen shots and she would circle what I needed to do to carry out the transactions/trades.
As my funds grew she would convince me to deposit more money into the account because the crypto market was doing really well for option trading. I decided to continue to invest and increase my stakes. Over a period of 2 weeks I had deposited $15,000
My account size grew to $20,103.71. She also showed me how to withdraw  my funds.I attempted just $1kand it went through with no issues into my Coinbase account. But then I tried to withdraw more money my account was frozen because customer service said I made too many transactions in on day. I called Li and told her what they said and she encouraged me to contact the online customer support and within no time my funds were in frozen and I was able to trade again. After that I put in more money $10,000 this time  and it grew to $12,000 When I attempted to withdraw the $12,000 on I was told that I had insufficient funds and that the transaction would not go through. I can see the funds have been frozen and on the transaction receipt the status says under audit and it does not give a reason why. I reached out to their customer support multiple times but got no replies.
Luckily In my research I came across a US security forensic investigating firm who were able to track and get back the funds I lost.

Very real story, thank you for sharing. I heard of similar story before related to proximaapp.com - almost identical. The Asian lady, good English writing skill, has an Instagram account @kim900321 and has changed the names 5 times over last 12 months. She has a gmail beixin84 and 226-298-0323 Those are not her pictures on Instagram. She is an older woman. She started by making you believe she is well off and has couple of luxury stores. She tricked you into participating in investing according to her uncle’s knowledge on bitcoins trading. You were encouraged to take money out and donate to charity at the beginning. Later you couldn’t get money out with paying 20% this and that…

I was randomly sent a message on Facebook by a person by the name of "Tina Shrum". She said that she had received a grant from CashApp between $750-$10,000 and that I should set up CashApp and I could receive the grant as well. I downloaded the app and sent $150 and was supposed to receive $2,000 back because of an investment to BitCoin. I sent the $150 where "Tina" told be too and never got anything back and lost the $150. No one is able to give me any answers or help me get my money back. I have lost $150.

Bigbankm3 aka Matt Hammond drives around in Lamborghini mostly. He got started being wealthy because of fake cryptocurrency investing. He tells potential investors they will get this huge return on their investment and once you request a return on your investment such as an interest payment then he will avoid paying you anything. He tells people that he doesn't have the money on hand. He claims the money is with a third party and he doesn't have access to it. But he will drive around in Lamborghini and other vehicles and flash thousands of dollars at a time but he can't pay out a simple interest payment. He now does other investments with his scammed funds such as house flipping and he probably has other streams of income from investing in something with his stolen money. He does not have real estate in his name, he probably puts the real estate in family or friends names to prevent his assets being seized if he were to ever get busted. This guy is bad news and do not give him any money in hopes of a return.

Uses "her kids" as their profile picture on telegram. Promises "You are ??% guaranteed of your funds even and investment cause I trade with a high profound broker that gives you a room to have access to your account and view how trading is going on anytime."

I received the same email stating I had not been active in 364 days and my account was going to be deleted . I of course went to the site. Once I logged in it says I need to make a withdrawal so I go thru the steps and it says I have 22,000$ once it was all converted . I just had to pay the 64.3 to cover the conversion fee so that it was all logged to my IP witch was the law that all withdraws had to be logged to the winners ip address . I've been thinking for three days about this. My husband and my brother in law suggested I check the B.B.B before we paid the fee just to be safe .... But I found the above scam report and thankfully because we really don't even have the money to pay it .... We are behind on bills , and I am the only income in my home with 4 kids and a disabled husband . So thank you for having this site it saved me from losing God knows what amount of money .

I saw an ad on Youtube in June 2022 about automatic currency trading and was curious. I clicked on the link and it asked for phone number to learn more.

It then asked me to register for a class on their investing but I decided not to. I checked around and decided it was not for me. (Too high risk, potential to lose money, etc. ) For 3 months, they have called several times a week. I have said 'no' many times, asked to be put on the Do Not Call List. Even spoke to a 'manager' and the calls stopped for a few weeks. Now they are back.

I say I am not interested and they ask 'but why did you sign up' and I said 'I changed my mind. I am not interested. I must say, if this is your customer service, I definitely don't want to be involved. You are harassing me. Your boss is making you call someone who is clearly not interested. Stop Stop Stop. I do not wish to ever be involved with you. Please stop calling me. Never call me again.' and they ignore me. I say they are breaking the law and they ask 'which law'? I say the 'do not call' law. They say there's no such thing.

I just want them to stop. It's very frustrating because they say 'but you were interested' but don't take that as an answer. It's my home phone and it annoys the whole family.

Ppl don’t care how they treat ppl at all.
