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

Fake website: www.leap189.com

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

Phone numbers for local managers or marketing as they claim that we communicate with them in Telegram or WhatsApp only with written text messages and we cannot contact them by phone as they say only messages in Telegram or WhatsApp and here are others

+1 646 820 9222

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.

I was offered different packages to invest in from Carbon Farms and Retreat.com. These packages would allow me to potentially double my investment within 1 to 2 years. Throughout the process their was a lot of email traffic gathering contracts, NDA's and information on the different packages to invest in. There was Zoom calls frequently for the first year. That suddenly started to decrease till now they are hard to reach. That started Dec 2021 with contact promising payouts by Dec 2022. While all along signing up more people to invest. By mid 2023 I try reaching out, it was a hit or miss with each attempt. Now at this point, I'm hearing from other investors with the same concerns. No one has been paid. I'm beginning to think this was a ponzi scheme. Some that I know, including myself, have about $ 40k invested. I'm positive there are at least 100 or more investors still waiting to be paid. We need your help.

The operation works by enticing individuals with descriptions of investments that mimic those offered by licensed professionals under FINRA. They present investment options such as Bonds, Federal Investments, and Venture Capital funds. Initially, they provide gains for the first disbursements of transferred funds, creating an illusion of profitability. However, they subsequently request additional funds, sometimes up to $500k. As the scheme progresses, communication becomes minimal, and excuses are provided for delays in investment disbursements. This pattern indicates potential fraudulent activity, warranting caution and reporting to relevant authorities.

A call center called me back after i left a request that i was interested in knowing about there company . They told me i would have a stock market investor call me back and he did . He was very good and seemed very real . He showed me his trading platform and taught me some stuff that made feel like it was real . I started off with $250 just to get on the trading platform . I was then told i had to put enough money in so that i could actually buy into a stock . I watched the process on my computer and watched a live stock market feed and could see the small investments working . I was then becoming open to putting more money in to the program . I watched my stocks grow on a live feed and it all seemed so real . He then told me about an annual market evaluation that made it very beneficial to buy into and he then asked for more money and transferred my trading from digitalfin solutions to a Questrade stock market feed and said he was part of Quest trade and i was at a higher level of investing . I was very involved and very deeply committed at this point . I watch all my stocks go up and some went down and came back up . At this point they were then asking for more investment to cover there costs and there backing to the investing . I said i no more money to give so at this point they closed my account and said they would pay me out . All my money was put into the site through Kraken Bitcoin site which i was not familiar with and didnt realize was a problem . I had to set up a BnB finance wallet and they then transferred all my earning into this account which was more than $100,000 . The funds they sent me were in a USDT coin that i knew nothing about . I then was attempting to transfer this coin, that i later on found out was fake , to my online Kraken account where i thought i could transfer it back to my personal account . At this point Kraken locked up my account and closed it and i contacted a local company that helped me realize they created a fake currency that is now being passed around . The scam company is still in contact with me and they say if i pay a final payment of $3000 they can make my fake funds real at this point . Im am so broken over this situation . I have no money left and all my accounts are overdrawn . I am a single father of 2 children in a single income house and now i dont know how i will feed my family or pay bills . I am broken beyond repair at this point . I pray that this kind of crime can be ended or better monitored for a safe future that is becoming more digital every day . Please be safe and take care and beware .

Indicated initial deposit, profits made could be withdrawn, but at time of withdrawal, was told 10% commission needed to be paid out of pocket first. Promised no other fees, received company email saying pay xx amount of dollars to withdraw. Paid that commission fee. Then, received another email saying needed to pay another fee to withdraw it quickly, paid that and told nothing more needed. Even received email from company saying nothing more needed. Paid that fee and still can't withdraw because they needed more money. Requested refund and can't get that either.

It was e-transfers that I sent .

He also had me send a picture of my drivers licence ..The email address and street address are not real but I had to put in something to continue.

The person called himself Maurice Laraunt.. was managing my “trading account” , had me send e-transfers for investment and then more to help me get some $back which of course I didn’t get any back

A Mississauga company has offered to help me recover the money .

But I don’t know whether I can trust them either.

Would you be able to put me in contact with a reputable company to help me recover the money ?

Told to make initial deposit by a person who did investments for this scamming company. Initial deposit to start crypto trading I made was $970 thru depositing thru cash app to their "website" then told in 320 hours plan ends and can make withdrawal of available funds or add more, added another $972. I Said after next 320 hours that I did not want to add any more funds and would like to withdraw my earnings. I was told that I could not withdraw funds for 4 months. Person for company would not give any detail only to contact their live support line. Support line said to go to withdrawal sections and enter my bank info to have available earnings deposited into my bank account. My bank info was entered along with my name and live chat line said I will get an email with further instructions to get my withdrawal of earnings put into my acct. Email said I had to deposit a "transaction fee" of $850 to my account with them the same way I did the past 2 times thru cash app and once that money is in there they will transfer the funds. The bank "swift" number was changed to a different bank to transfer my interest in on the email and when I questioned the online chat they said that must be a scammer who sent the emailed instructions on how to get my funds. then online chat replied to Just wait for Elitestack Markets to send you correct email. The next email said I had to deposit $500 as a service fee to transfer money with not my banking info in transfer to account. When trying to contact the phone on website says "restricted or not in service" and when I wrote online chat again they said "that's what you have to do to get your earnings from your account. This is a fake website that leads people to keep putting money in account and will not give the money out. The person that told me they were an investor on the company's website is someone I know. This person is not helping in any way, says I cannot get my money or my "available earnings" out since I did not keep giving money for 4 months. This person said after 320 hours, can make withdrawal to get funds out before I even made any deposit. I have screen shots of conversations with this person who is an investor of people's money and refers people to this scamming website as well as the chat conversation with the scammers company online chat person.

Whitney was a former co-worker who set up a real estate investment scheme to become a business partner. One investment was to be paid back in 6 months. The other was to be a business partner in a hotel in Jennings Florida. Shortly after I was told that my funds were being used to get a better loan rate from his mortgage bank. And then that my funds were used to pay off a worker's compensation suit filed against him. He has not returned any investment funds in 2 years. He has scammed several other investors in this time as well. I am currently in the process of taking him to court to try and resolve this.
