Description

Mark Johnson or whomever ran a scheme where if you invest $600-$1500 you would make money on a trading site called Optimus Prime in which he would give trading signals on telegram. He would strictly enforce you to get more members under you so you could make more money . He recently switched it to an AP called AAC Chat in which he had you put your phone in developer mode claiming he had invested $500, 000 into the AP to make things more secure and safe. He recently shut down Optimus Prime and changed his name to XAEL-A1 and contacted the team with promises of starting a new platform because Optimus Prime had shut down. Whoever it is running this is a big time scammer for sure. Don’t fall for this crypto scam !!
