Description

I am writing to formally report a severe and extensive financial fraud operation that has resulted in a significant loss of my personal funds. I have been victimized by a two-stage scam, initially involving a fraudulent online employment scheme and then a deceptive "fund recovery" service. My total financial losses amount to approximately $40,000. The initial fraud began on **March 29, 2025**, when I was contacted via WhatsApp by an individual identifying herself as **Caddy**, using phone number **567-333-8108**. She offered a part-time online job opportunity, purportedly with a company named **Rankingcoach**, promising commissions for completing daily tasks. I was guided through a registration process on their platform and subsequently instructed to make various "small payments" to a cryptocurrency wallet address: **0x968f7a6ab05a2d0cdb9a1c999ca936adc8306534**. During this phase, I was led to believe I had accumulated a substantial bonus. However, to access these funds, I was informed that further payments were required, including a 10% fee on a purported bonus of approximately $260,000. After making payments totaling around **$10,000**, I realized I was not receiving any funds in return and that the promised funds were inaccessible. Attempts to communicate with Caddy and the "customer service" (phone number: ?+1 (762) 224-3345?) became futile, as communication ceased. My last day of contact was 06-14-25. Distraught by this experience, I sought help online to recover my lost funds. I found contact information for a supposed lawyer, **Daniels Ansell**, associated with the law firm **GreenbergTraurig**, on WhatsApp. His phone number was **607-378-9614**. He assured me he could help and requested extensive personal information, including my name, gender, age, address, phone number, email, and driver's license number, as well as details of the initial scam, including the company name and wallet addresses. I genuinely believed I had found legitimate help. This began on 06-23-25. The following day, Mr. Ansell informed me that my funds had been located within a platform called "The SANDS account." He stated that he could not directly access this account but would introduce me to an individual named **Jack** (Telegram handle: **Anonymous Jack**, Telegram link: **https://t.me/TheNO05**), who could facilitate the recovery. Upon contacting Jack via Telegram, he reassured me further and instructed me to join a "Recovery Team" group using the link: **https://t.me/+_kCFvJVzm10xMzAx**. Within this group, other members frequently shared testimonies of successful fund recoveries facilitated by Jack, creating a persuasive environment. I was then asked to make "small transactions" on this new platform. Over time, these transactions led to an additional loss of approximately **$30,000**. When it came time to receive my recovered funds, I was told that an additional payment of **$5,888** was needed to achieve "VIP" status, which was supposedly necessary for the release of my funds. At this point, I had exhausted my resources. Jack's communication became sporadic and eventually stopped altogether, as did that of Daniels Ansell. I was victimized a second time, losing even more funds in a deceptive "recovery" scheme. My last contact with them was on 11-03-25.
