It started off as $1000 investment, which grew to a total of $35000 over a period of 2 months.

Each time I didn't have the money, I had to borrow more money. When I didn't have the money by the end of February, he said

the money would be gone.

When March got here, the company reopened and said the money is still there, I needed $500 to get the money this time.

I gave $250 first and said he needed the other $250 he would send me $7000 to my CashApp account and the rest to my PayPal

account later. I gave him the last of the $500 and told me he was going to send me the $7000 but now he needs another $700

to send the other $28000 to my PayPal account. That's $1200 instead of $500.

He's still waiting for me to pay the $700. Last week he said if I didn't pay the $700 the money will be gone.

Today he says he is still waiting for the $700 that the money is still there!

He never sent me the $7000. He now says it is on hold till I pay the $700

He showed my a copy of a payment of $7000 to my CashApp account. CashApp says they never received any notice of payment!

I transferred money from Veridian Credit Union to the scammers website via fake trading platform over a 9/10 month period, this is how they developed the trust from myself, however, at that time, I was just depositing from Veridian Credit Union and not making any withdraws. They keep giving me instructions on how to get my money but these instructions aren't working, I CANNOT TRANSFER MONEY OUT OF WEBULL TO ANOTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.

I was approached on Instagram by a “forex trader” offering to be an “account manager” for me. He seemed to have lots of proof that he was legit even though certain things didn’t check out. He had me sign up for an account at smartpipstrade.com and used that to show that he was “trading my money on the market” funds would show up on the account with smartpipstrade. He had me send a withdrawal fee as his cut for being my account manager. He told me I would receive my profits shortly. Later he deleted his Instagram account and I never received the promised profits after sending him over $1,200

Lost all retirement, savings & currently in debt for about 250k - total sent to scammers of about $551k or so.

Started innocently enough with a few hundred dollars investment & was later prompted to increase investment to 25k to realize better profits, which I was only able to deposit 21.4k at the time & the trader related that he would make up the balance to meet the 25k minimum to the trading platform website.

Profits began to increase slowly and within a few weeks went to a 50 or 60k, then 100k, continuing to a month and a half to 200-300k, then to 500k, ultimately reaching 845k. Initial trading platform - https://genesis-asset.com/.

At this point I was informed that the account had to be upgraded/activated & was required to deposit 10k to activate the account for withdrawals, which supposedly experienced errors & I had to make another 52k deposit.

Due to errors, they’d have to move the funds to an escrow service, which looked like it was Coinbase Escrow, but the correspondences were from an e-mail account [email protected], looking like Coinbase, but spelled with an "L" instead of an "I," who were supposed to send the funds out via cold storage, which I had to give them $7,620 to process. Then there were 2 x $2,000 TIPS & commission of 56k dispute from the trader.

Supposedly the shipper, Green Dot or DHL, lost the package and the funds had to be moved to another trading platform - https://mirrorglobalassets.com/ also found under http://mirrorglobalexchange.com/.

Moving the funds to this platform required taxes be paid on the moved funds where a deposit of 5% tax on BTC and a 12% tax on all others assets to be 102k net, 67k & 35k.

On this platform I made a small $75 deposit required for activation to release the funds that supposedly started a trading sequence that would last 3 months. Requiring that I sign up for a trading plan and sending an additional 25k.

Profits started exploding to a total to 5.7m requiring multiple “trading bot commissions,” to total 68k in deposits.

Followed-up by 2 more activation deposits of 25k each & supposedly funds were about to be released at the end of the trading cycle.

I would have to make additional tax payments prior to release.

Withdrawals were pending for months & more issues encountered that the IRS required that taxes be paid & the funds insured & more deposits had to be made.

I've included Whats App chats, contacts & shared images. I have e-mails, documents, crypto to and from address including transaction hash IDs that I can provide as needed or requested. Below are e-mail addresses, websites, What’s App numbers & names of those contacts (which seem fabricated & generic).

Melissa Scott claimed to work for WeissRating. She told me I could invest $500 for 1 day in stocks and bonds and I would receive a profit of $10,500. I invested, then I “received” a special promotion and would receive an extra $20,000 but I needed to pay $1000 for an IRS tax. I paid it. Then the financial manager called and stated that their % that the sales associate would receive of $1000 needed to be paid to them directly and couldn’t come out of the profit. I paid it, then because it wouldn’t go through the same day I was charged a late fee of $500. I paid it, then there was a service fee because there was a late fee of &$999. My stupid self paid it and then they wanted my bank account login to “deposit” the money. That’s when I became suspicious and called the company directly instead of speaking to the financial manager anymore. When I called the company they couldn’t find my information in the system and the sales associate doesn’t work there and neither does the manager or financial manager.

This is a well known scam that has had many names such as LandBankers, Sierra Madre Holdings, Bamburain and Naym Plantations. It used to be run by well known criminal and Canadian justice fugitive Brian J. Wolfe until his death. Now its in charge of his mistress, named Laura M*****, and a number of Polish "sellers" whose job is to invent new ways to avoid paying the investment thousands of individuals have done in their many land-purchasing related schemes. Since the company does not own the land they claim, the project was converted into a bamboo platation and then a food planting operation, still promising the amazing and completely fake returns they've claimed since 2006, permanently pushing the return date as they create and drop fake companies. They mainly target foreigners so they minimize contact and in-person interactions, many Canadians and Polish people have been trying to recover their money for over a decade, but the companies ties to organized crime have stopped all justice attempts. Buyers beware.

This person will offer you a contract or agreement about a investment, that would profit 10% each month for one year. The first moth you receive the first payment, but after that nothing else. We call and they always had excuse about the payment. Eight month and not money. Please be careful with this scan. The person name is Gorge Galindo Villamil from Colombia Bogota.
