Description

Business Name (as used by scammer): currencysss.com / “Blue Owl Global VIP 78” WhatsApp group Scam Type: Cryptocurrency Investment Fraud (Pig-Butchering) Summary: I was targeted by a crypto scam using the site currencysss.com and a WhatsApp group called Blue Owl Global VIP 78 (~65 members). Scammers showed me fake screenshots of a $432,727.74 USDT balance and pressured me to send funds into a Trust Wallet for “cross-chain activation.” They impersonated professionals (e.g., financier Doug Ostrover) and used U.S.-based phone numbers: +1 (956) 677-0746, +1 (925) 219-7541, +1 (980) 459-9374. Another group member, “Sophia Currencyss,” tied directly to the fraudulent website. This is a coordinated pig-butchering scam, not a legitimate company. Requested Action: Warn consumers, shut down the fraudulent site, and investigate associated phone numbers/accounts. ? ?? Draft for DFPI Crypto Scam Tracker (California) (This tracker highlights crypto-specific scams; keep it factual and under ~800 characters) Website/Platform: currencysss.com Summary of Scam: Fraudulent trading platform linked to WhatsApp group Blue Owl Global VIP 78. Victims are shown fake balances (e.g., $432k USDT) but withdrawals are blocked. Group admins then pressure victims to transfer funds to external Trust Wallets for “activation.” Scammers use U.S. phone numbers (+1 956-677-0746, +1 980-459-9374, etc.) and impersonate professionals (e.g., “Doug Ostrover”). This is a pig-butchering scam designed to steal cryptocurrency. Evidence: Screenshots of fake balances, WhatsApp group membership, scam instructions, and scammer profiles. ? ?
