Description

A supposed online trading investment company. I invested $20,000 by eTransfer ) 3 K ) per day to a wallet called Newton where it was converted to Bitcoin and transferred to their Crypto account. The account that was set up by them was in US$ and I watched daily as the account accrued daily from 15k US to over 47KUS. In Jan 2023 when I tried to close the account , I was told I first has to pay UK tax of 16% or 5100 US, which I did. This brought my total to around 27,000.00 Can invested. Since then they have been unreachable and my login does not work. My reason for contacting the BBB is to stop any further financial harm to Canadians as over the 3 months of my association , they indicated lots of Canadian Clients. The companies that I know are associated are: SpotInvest Spot Finance BBanc all supposedly in the UK Please let me know if I can be of further assistance with screenshots, emails, or names.
