Description
A Facebook story led to their website where you could register with them. Then, after a phone call with a so-called manager convincing you to try their services, a financial specialist called. According to them, it was an investment company located in Dubai, called Bemo Investment Firm Ltd. He spoke perfect Russian (my mother language) and said that he was originally from Ukraine. Daily educational phone calls about trading platforms and how to make earnings followed after that. Their commission was supposed to be 10% upon withdrawal. High-quality service, making small yet good earnings for 3 months. Convinced to take a bank loan, and invest savings to build capital based on which we could increase earnings which made sense, then there was a "critical mistake", and we had to withdraw all the money and transfer it to Coinbase wallet, then, there was another "critical mistake" that I had to pay for (it was scary), then money was supposed to be transferred from there to NDAX platform. Once it was "transferred", I was told to pay certain fees in crypto which I made a few, because something was always wrong and the money was sort of stuck in some kind of blockchain when in fact it successfully was received by them. The end!
