Seen a ad on Facebook about a new ai trading system they wanted to try out. At first it gave trades for the regular stock exchange which I found very interesting. Then they decided since everyone in the group was interested in crypto to test it out there. I watch the messages come in about how much profit they were making and screenshot of the trades. Seemed real enough to me so I gathered up some funds I had in crypto already and put my information in got things set up and started doing some trades. Following things in the group message system so i could chat with at least 50 other people wether they were real or not i dont know but it seemed like they each had there own personality and different ideas at times. They never seemed pushy as to get us money faster except maybe a little when it was you could make money way faster if you had more in each trade. Supposedly making money but then came a profit potentially like way to good but needed some funds. Well they had a loan application right there so did that and made the trade but afterwards I couldn't do anything with the account even though it Supposedly had 3.9million in it.

Elitestackmarkets is a place to avoid if you value your hard-earned money. Investing with them can result in your funds disappearing without a trace, leaving you unable to withdraw. I personally experienced this issue and reported it to the authorities. Spectrum-Crest is the company that assisted me in recovering my funds, after which I promptly closed my account. If you have also fallen victim to Elitestackmarkets, I recommend reporting your situation to Spectrum-Crest.

I was invited to an investment group and assured that initially, the first 100 days of stock advice would be free in an effort to prove themselves credible. After that a contract would be signed to pay them a percentage of my profits. This was a pump and dump situation. After a few successful buy and sell opportunities, on Fri, April 12, I was asked to invest in IZM stock at $40.77. I bought 183 shares. Mon, April 15, I bought 100 more shares at $47.50. total investment of $17,014.53 CDN. the shares were to be held for a few days and then sold by the end of the week for a proposed 100% profit. It did rise for the next day. Woke up on April 17 to see the stock price had plummeted after 10s of millions of shares were dumped. I was instructed to sell ASAP. If instructions were not followed, there would be no further stock advice. I sold 283 shares at $4.58. Lost $15,271.07. I was told any loss incurred from their advice would be covered. No longer getting messages from either Wisdom Capital or Elena Ross, the "investment assistant".

This scam involved mimicking successful trades on the xtb-online.vip/h5 website. When attempts were made to withdraw, the site then demanded a 25% tax to be paid before funds could be withdrawn.

My encounter with Felicia Paul began with a modest investment of $700, promising a hefty return of $6000. However, her demands escalated, asking for more funds under various pretenses such as withdrawal codes ($1000), stop losses ($500), verification fees ($1000), and clearance fees ($1500), totaling an exorbitant amount. Despite promises of immediate withdrawals, I found myself trapped in a web of deceit for two agonizing weeks, culminating in another demand for an additional $4000. It was then I realized the painful truth: I had been scammed out of $10,000.

As a Scientist holding a PhD, I am deeply ashamed of my lapse in judgment. Yet, I refuse to let this experience go unnoticed. I’m committed to spreading awareness and filing complaints against these scammers. Names like Felicia Paul and Martha J Gillian may be aliases, but the damage they inflict is very real.

I a m writing to lodge a formal complaint against the British company Leap Sharing Technology co.,Ltd, which has engaged in fraudulent activities. The activation of the fraudulent operation is as followCompany name: leap sharing technology co.,ltd

Phone numbers: +44 730-766-4358, +44 730-766-4358

Address: Mortgage London, 25 Old Broad Street, London

The above-mentioned website, which is allegedly associated with Mortgage London, has engaged in deceptive practices, misleading potential customers, and engaging in fraudulent transactions. Despite presenting itself as a legitimate financial entity, it operated with malicious intent, potentially causing financial harm and suffering to unsuspecting individuals.

Numerous attempts to call the phone numbers provided have been unsuccessful, which also indicates a lack of transparency and accountability on the part of the company. Furthermore, the address listed appears to be just a front, which contributes to the mystery surrounding their operations.

As a victim of this fraudulent scheme, I demand immediate action to investigate and shut down Laep Sharing Technology.,Ltd's illegal activities. In addition, I appeal to the regulatory authorities to intervene and ensure that such deceptive practices are stopped, and to take appropriate measures to protect consumers from falling victim to similar scams in the future.

I am confident that swift and decisive action will be taken to address this matter and bring the perpetrators of this fraud to justice.

sincerely,

Around Feb 27 I was invited to join a crypto mining pool by a friend who I had been speaking to for a few weeks. At first I was skeptical so I only started with 2k but I saw that there was a daily return. When I found out it was working I deposited more into the account up to 10k. On March 1st there was a message saying that you can get a bonus of Eutherium coins if you deposit a certain amount. I was going for the highest bonus of 30.5 eutherium coins which I needed to have an account of 100k. In order to qualify for that bonus I needed to have 100k in USDT in my wallet before April 1st. Once I had that amount I just had to email the mining pool customer service email and they would deposit the eutherium into my account. When I got to 90k in my account I had run out of money so my friend who got me to join said she would help me get to 100k by depositing 10k into my wallet. She did the transaction and I had the 100k necessary for the bonus in my account.

When I emailed customer service they said that indeed I had the amount necessary for the bonus and that they were going to deposit that into my account. However they saw that someone other than myself had made a deposit into my account and that the system had automatically flagged my account for AML (anti money laundering) in the crypto mining pool and that my assets had been frozen because of it. They said that for me to unfreeze my funds I had to make a deposit of 30% the account value. They said that once the deposit was made the system would unfreeze my account and I could withdraw my bonus and principal if I so choose to. This did not make sense to me because there was no way to prove to them that I was not engaged in money laundering other than to make a deposit.

I contacted SafePal the company whose wallet I was using and asked them if it was possible for them or a third party DApp to freeze my accounts. They said that I had been scammed and that the mining pool I had joined was a malicious actor. The person who got me involved with the mining pool is not aware of my contact with SafePal and I am still in contact with them now. Hopefully you can investigate this claim and tell me what steps I need to take to potentially recover some of my funds. Please advise.

So, this business was offering "invest plans", I invested in a 200GBP one because it was lower, and did not want to risk more than that. The process approximately took 2 days. Before that, I was given an email stating they would have like 20% commission fee before I got my 2500 GBP ROI. And I was told to pay 750GBP so they can withdraw my payout. After a while, I was asked again to pay 960 GBP because my investments had matured and were reinvested so now it's 5000 GBP.

I have been a victim of a sophisticated investment scam orchestrated by NationTraders and their agents, Vladislav Kostin and Andrey Varshavskyi. My journey into this financial abyss began when I stumbled upon a Facebook advertisement promising substantial returns through AI-assisted trading on the stock exchange. Intrigued by the prospect of easy profits, I registered and was soon contacted by Vladislav Kostin, who introduced himself as a manager from the "Club of Millionaires," a project linked to NationTraders.

Initially, I was hesitant to invest, but Kostin's persuasive skills, coupled with my own aspirations for financial growth, led me to transfer $34,200 of my personal savings into NationTraders' brokerage account, using cryptocurrency. This was the beginning of a series of deceptive practices that would soon unravel. Kostin, under the guise of expert guidance, initiated several trades, predominantly in Forex, which seemed profitable at first glance.

As my confidence grew, so did my investments. Encouraged by Kostin and later by Andrey Varshavskyi, another so-called specialist from NationTraders, I made several more deposits, totaling tens of thousands of dollars. They painted a picture of guaranteed returns and risk-free investments, assuring me of my financial safety. However, when I decided to withdraw a portion of my supposed earnings, I was met with unexpected and illogical hurdles.

First, my withdrawal requests were severely limited in amount, and then, to my dismay, I was informed of a newly implemented rule requiring a 13% deposit of the withdrawal amount to cover unspecified taxes. This demand raised immediate red flags, signaling the illegitimacy of their operations. Despite my repeated attempts to retrieve my funds, they were either met with evasion or more fabricated rules, designed to further entrap me in their scheme.

It became painfully clear that NationTraders, an entity unregistered with any U.S. financial regulatory bodies, was nothing but a facade for a well-orchestrated fraud. My hard-earned savings were locked away in their system, manipulated by individuals who preyed on my trust and financial aspirations. This realization was not just a financial blow but also an emotional one, as it shook my faith in the integrity of online investment platforms.

KFCP used online trading to deceive me, wiring money to a few bank accounts related to them. From September 19th to October 31, $98,770 was wired to these accounts and transferred to KFCP for trading spot gold on my KFCP account. When I tried to withdraw profits on December 11th ($10,000), my request was denied. On December 14th, I attempted to withdraw profits again ($20,000), but once more, my request was rejected. KFCP said that because my profit had reached 371306.75, I had to pay them a 28% personal profits tax deposit (103965.89 USD). If not complete within seven working days, the system of the KFCP will deduct 1% of the maximum value of the account as a penalty every day. I realize this is a scam, so I refused to pay 103965.89 USD for the personal profits tax deposit. As a result, they disabled my account and would not let me withdraw my money unless I paid the money (USD or USDT) they requested. On 1/23/2023, I tried to withdraw 10000 USD from my account, but they rejected it again. From 12/29/2023 to 2/18/2024 (today), they stole $ 191349 USDT from my account. What KFCP did is not only a scam but also a crime. Please investigate KFCP and help me get my money back.
