Description

I am reporting an international cryptocurrency investment fraud conducted under the name Capium Ltd. LLC, which falsely claims to be a London-registered financial company. They provide victims with fake certificates and a fraudulent company registration number to appear legitimate. The scammers initiate contact through social media platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, and then move the conversation to Telegram. My assigned “financial advisors” identified themselves as Victoria Blanche and Elizabeth Parker and Roman Kazansky. They communicated in Russian, used high-pressure psychological manipulation, and promised extremely high returns on investment. The scheme involves directing victims to deposit funds into cryptocurrency wallets using legitimate exchanges such as Crypto.com, but the money is ultimately transferred to on-chain wallets controlled by the scammers. They operate a fake online trading platform under the name Capium Ltd. LLC, where they display falsified trading data and profits. This platform is entirely controlled by the scammers. The first investment you send through Zelle in the amount of 153$ ( in my case it was Roman Kazansky ph: 347-328-3173). That money appears on your platform account in within minutes. In few days Victoria Blanche ( the name is fake obviously ) turned it into 2500$ on amazon stocks . Some of the conversations they do through video call and they lead you step by step by sharing the screen on your phone. To build trust, they allow small withdrawals at the beginning. I was able to withdraw $175 and later $1,000, which made the operation seem legitimate. My initial deposits were $6,000, then another $6,000. Over time, I noticed red flags: • The trading platform link frequently went offline. • “Customer support” responded unprofessionally and in poor English. • The advisors became increasingly aggressive when questioned. • They pressured me to invest $35,000 to “activate a one-month profile.” • They demanded additional payments under false pretenses, such as $8,000 for insurance and $9,000 for Singapore bank fees, claiming these were required for withdrawals. When I tried to withdraw funds without their knowledge, the access was denied. They used a fake robotic phone verification system that intentionally malfunctioned to prevent the withdrawal process. My second deposit was made through MoneyGram to individuals in Georgia, whom they falsely claimed were verified agents of the platform. When I attempted to make further deposits, Crypto.com flagged the transaction as suspicious and blocked my account, which ultimately revealed that the entire operation was fraudulent. Another alarming detail: The advisor appeared on video calls, but the video was clearly manipulated. The face was blurry, did not blink, and used what appears to be deepfake technology to mimic speech in real time. Once I confronted them, the scammer became extremely aggressive, vulgar, harassing me with messages and memes. I blocked all communication. In total, I lost $18,000. I have screenshots, videos, transaction records, MoneyGram receipts, wallet addresses, and full chat logs that document the fraud in detail. I am submitting this report to help prevent others from being victimized by this large-scale international cryptocurrency scam.
