Description

I have been reached out by "Diana Allison" from "Lakshmi Finance Center" (LFC) who have been testing "Trade Genius AI 4.0" to predict the next crypto investments. They would like us to open an account on www.blockchainsfinance.com (BCF) so as to test the accuracy of AI system. Once I created the account, they transferred 1000 USDT into the Test account and then asked me to execute 3 "Perpetual Contract Trades" based on the "Trades Signals". These 3 trades when executed against crypto coins that are not listed anywhere produced remarkable results. $1000 turned to around $1550. Diana Allison asked me to return the $1000 back to LFC and guided through steps to send it and also steps to send back $550 to my own CoinBase account as thanks to execute the test. Then she asked if I am willing to participate during testing in coming weeks where I can use my own money and grow it. I have checked and company is registered with SEC and FinCen Almost everyday I would get trade signals and that provide profit of 4-7% of the portfolio. I kept participating in trade signals with maybe 20k and can see the money growing. Then I stopped getting signals and was asked to join VIP program where I can get consistent signals. VIP1 program - 100k VIP2 program - 300k VIP3 program - 500k I sold my entire stock portfolio and send $154k over USDT: Tether to BCF via CoinBase. Within a week, portfolio was north of 220k. Then one signal that I am sure was staged rid me of all the money. I thought I messed up the trade entry. It did not end there. I was asked to start again with big amount so that losses can be recovered quickly by being VIP1 member. I borrowed $80k and sent over on 8/14. Within 4 trade signals, profit of around 23k was made and as on 8/18, I have $103k in portfolio there. ' I thought of withdrawing 3k and I got to know that withdrawals of BCF is blocked and there is no customer support. I checked further and found even the trading screens have made-up data and Bitcoin price being shown on BCF vs CoinBase is different. I can see 100k sitting in the account but cannot be withdrawn. Diana and Support stopped responding to me and removed me from the groups being used for communication. There is another WhatsApp group that shows people keep moving 100's of thousands from their trading and retirement accounts in order to get to Financial freedom. Those all are definitely staged too. This fraud is still going on. I have their WhatsApp chats exported as of today and have transaction history and agreements and the material they sent me. It is a fraud that is ruining families and lives. NEED HELP! Diana Allison Phone numbers: +1 332-207-5749 +1 646-651-7104 +1 773-263-2960 +1 646-220-6871
