Description

I am reporting a well-organized international investment scam that stole over $10,000 from me through a fake crypto trading platform named “Capium Limited.” This scam is being promoted via paid Instagram ads and involves identity theft, Zelle transfers, and cryptocurrency laundering. In May 2025, I clicked on an Instagram ad showing a Russian-speaking woman claiming she bought a house thanks to crypto trading. I submitted my contact info and was contacted via Telegram by “Dmitriy” (@DmLarss), who said he lived in New York and represented an international trading platform. He directed me to a website pretending to be Capium Limited and told me to send an initial $150 via Zelle to: Name: Toktor Abdykaiyrov Email: [email protected] Date: May 8, 2025 Bank: Bank of America Shortly afterward, I was assigned a "financial advisor" named Yurii Vlasov (@vlasovyuri_t), claiming to be an investor in Miami Beach. He manipulated me into believing I was earning high profits, and convinced me to take out a $10,000 Upstart loan, which I sent in crypto through Crypto.com and an OnChain Wallet. When I tried to withdraw my funds, they sent me a fake token called T99 Ethereum, which has no value and cannot be sold. During this process, while I was screen-sharing, the scammer memorized my wallet code and accessed my OnChain Wallet, sending unauthorized funds without my consent. I later realized that these scammers were using the name of a real UK accounting company (Capium) listed on gov.uk, but with no connection to the real firm. My sister in the UK contacted the real Capium, and they confirmed it was fraud. I now fear that the scammers have access to my SSN, full name, address, and other personal data. I’ve placed a credit freeze with all 3 bureaus. The scam wallet addresses used include: 0x6a1b89de9b8cbd999879ef53a541b086aeea7e33 0xD3dc6DB367b898C9De524c2295918a525d9aeC53 These wallets have handled over 1,200 suspicious transactions and are likely involved in crypto laundering via Binance and other exchanges. Back in 2023, I had encountered similar Instagram ads promoting platforms called “Libro by Suckerman” and a fake “Tesla trading initiative.” I refused at the time due to high deposit amounts, but now realize the structure and manipulation were the same. Instagram is still running these ads today — with Russian-speaking women promoting “crypto success stories.” Please investigate this case and the individuals involved. I can provide: All Telegram chats, Screenshots, Wallet addresses and transaction hashes, Proof of Zelle and Upstart transfers, Identity theft details (SSN exposure). I’m willing to cooperate and provide any further evidence needed. Thank you.
