Description

I originally answered an ad via Facebook about working from home as I am retired and looking to supplement my income. I joined on August 30, 2024 with the organization known as TSAI. Part of this job was to "sign-in daily" and move cash to make money with AI bots that invest in cryptocurrencies to make money and share with its members. Over the almost 7 months I was with the company, I made two deposits: $80.00 and $290.00. With this in mind, I had actually "made from the trades" approximately $7,417.96. This was in my account as of March 20, 2025, when they shut down everything. I was required to enroll with a crypto wallet and I chose "Coinbase". I used Paypal for the first transaction and my bank account for the second transaction going through Coinbase into my "TSAI account". I worked daily for those almost 7 months moving money and activating several bots (16 of the to be exact) to amass a value of $7,417.96. When I decided to start taking some of the money out, I went into my account on the morning of March 21,2025 only to find out that the website was "down for maintenance". When I tried to contact the person who signed me up, there was no response, so I contacted support at TSAI and to my disbelief there was also no response. I have WhatsApp numbers for the almost 600 people who were on the team's Whatsapp group chat, and a lot of them had many members under them, so it is very difficult to know exactly how many people were actually affected. But it is most likely in the thousands. On March 18, I saw a message on the group chat that the company had been hacked and all accounts were frozen and in order to unfreeze the accounts, a deposit had to be made. Since I was one of the lowest, my deposit to unfreeze my account was $280.00, and I did so on March 19 when I received my paycheck. These amounts went up with each level (and there were 7 levels you could reach). I have been contacting people in the group to see how many of them received the same messages and how many had paid the fee. I have contact information for the FBI and the FTC to file a complaint and to try to get the money I am owed. Personally, I feel I am owed the full amount that I had in my account of $7,417.96. I will pursue this and want everyone to know that they are not alone when it comes to these types of scams. I have kept a daily long of my activity since day one and will use it to collect the monies I am owed.
