CryptoCurrency - CryptoCurrency Scam

I was contacted by Lexor financial to invest in cryptocurrency. They told me I could start training for $250 so I got started but all they did was tell me what to buy and no other info. After several days of this I noticed they were taking commissions on my buys. Then there was a 2week lull in getting calls from them and then I got a call from Lexor telling me they would stop training me due to my lack of interest, but I noticed while I was online with the software they provided that my buys hade generated $ 50973.00 I was instructed by my instructor Anna how to put these funds in a trust wallet then over a month of trying to figure out how to transfer the funds from trust wallet and into my bank account. They told me to use kraken but as I found out kraken does not honor USD.Z which is the crypto they told me to buy. They knew I would have to pay 10% of to total amount of the transfer as a payment for the transfer so that monitor my account and steal my information and go into my wallet and take the money. They used insider trading to steal my money but it was never mine. They need to be stopped before they can do this to others.

Tech Support - Geek Squad Impostor

I was billed for ordering Geek squad service which I never authorized. When I saw their repeated attempts to collect money & they also took out of my crypto account nearly $500.00 . I got very suspicious & I contacted their support staff number . A person spoke very nicely & he then referred me to his manager Brad J Davis who was extremely friendly & reassuring. He told me to go through a process on line to get the refund . He took me to the website call “ Any viewer “ & I was able to get it completed . Surprisingly the bad site stated BBB & he mentioned they are part of Better business bureau. . After depositing the money , when I checked my email , my bank got &5000.00 instead of $500 . Bank also recognized it as a suspicious or a scam & that they will investigate. I told him to simply call my bank& explain the mistake but he insisted I go to stores nearby that are affiliated with BBB& have funds . I was very hesitant, kept telling him I could not go as my clients are waiting . He then said if I did not act immediately, bank may report me as a fraudulent party & take legal action. I got scared , went to Sephora & got worth $4500 gift cards . He got me erased the grey bar , send him the pictures of all the cards & receipts . He then warned me to not open my bank account until he calls me because their server & bank server were connected & any activity will disturb the process. Later I got worried & opened the bank website & my money was gone . They did not refund me & took all the money away . I was left with nearly $300.00 of deficit in my account. Yesterday when I tried to call them , they disconnected my call& now I cannot reach them . Their numbers are coming as. It existing anymore . I did get a text from Mr Davis that he is in a meeting working on my case . Nothing has happened. I have been scammed & I am desperate, I thought of killing myself for believing this person& losing everything. Please help me . Thanks a lot . Sincerely, **** **********

They operate on a promise of riches based on an investment. You can join for free using a phone number, but you need a referral code from someone else who already has an account. It functions much like a pyramid scheme. Once joined, you are asked to watch social media videos, like on tiktok, and "share" those videos. You receive 10 of these videos a day and after sharing all 10 videos you receive 5 dollars worth of crypto in the sites wallet. The site says you need a minimum of 200 dollars worth of crypto in order to make a withdrawal out of the site and into a private wallet, but here begins the lies and deception. As a basic member it appears as though it isn't an option to make withdrawals at all. After you hit that 200 dollar mark the site will no longer allow you to log in and will prompt you with a banner demanding you send them 50 dollars within 3 days or your account will be deactivated. The prompt also states that the 50 dollar crypto deposit will be returned after one week and that the user will be given one withdrawal, which sweetens the deal since you have 200+ dollars of crypto waiting in the sites wallet for you to withdraw. But in order to make that withdrawal you will also need to supply the site with far too much personal information such as a photo of your drivers license, social security number, and personal identifying information. I have people using this platform, so I have a vested interest in determining of this platform is a scam, so I was cautious about what info i shared (nothing,) but I did send 60 dollars in crypto out of curiosity of what would happen next. After two days the site no longer loads in my browser at all. My IP has seemingly been blocked from accessing the site. Since I didn't provide the information they demanded, I was unable to make a withdrawal. I can't know whether or not the 60 dollars I sent will return but I'm doubtful. Now that I can't access the site I have 0 ways of contacting them for any reason. That was my experience, now I'm going to talk about other aspects of the platform that are highly problematic. If you have any questions about the platform or need any assistance you are given the contact information of some random person on whatsapp and are only allowed to communicate there. There is a business license that exists online which describes them as an investment company, Youth Surge Dir, with 100 million in assets, but they don't seem to have a real physical location. Any address associated with this company is just a random unrelated building. Fake business license maybe, just to save face online? They have a VIP system which is very pyramid scheme-y. There are 10 levels of VIP. The first level costs a couple hundred dollars and with that you get the benefit of 12 dollars a day in rewards for watching and sharing more videos. You also seem to get more withdrawal privileges but I cant confirm this personally. Having a VIP level also benefits the person who referred you to the site with extra daily cash rewards when you complete the daily tasks, so there is an increased incentive to recruit new people and have them pay for VIP. Paying for VIP requires you to make a personal crypto deposit to the site and share your personal information. The highest VIP level is 10 which costs 199,000 dollars in crypto. the daily reward here is the same as level 7 at ~754 dollars. Simply put, the higher your VIP level, the more you and the person who referred you are rewarded. Because I haven't paid into VIP myself I cant confirm, but I'm told over time they will make demands for progressively greater deposits at the threat of account deactivation. Over time the people who participate are sustained just enough until a final rug pull at their moment of greatest resistance, resulting in massive net losses with their account deactivation. Scam may be too gentle of a word.

I was approached by a friend on Facebook Messenger a few weeks ago. At the time, I had no idea that her account had been hacked. The imposter told me they were helping people make money with crypto as a side gig. They had been posting "success" stories of their fake clients for months prior on Facebook. They had me switch our communication from Messenger to Whatsapp. That should have been the first red flag. Then they had me create a wallet account on the website, fandttradingltd.co. They convinced me to make multiple crypto purchases on a few different apps. Then convert the crypto to the Trustwallet app. Finally, that money would be tranferred to their bogus website. The website would even showed how much my deposits were "growing" each day. After I found out my friend's account had been hacked, I tried to contact the scammer through Whatsapp, Messenger, and the fandttradingltd.co website. They disappeared along with my money!

I went to pull my investment and IPXN made claim I owed money to someone, which was a false claim and placed a hold on releasing my funds.

I answered an ad for a remote job that claimed to pay $280 USD per day on facebook. Antonio Romero reached out to me and connected me with Claire Adams on Whats App. She asked me preliminary job interview questions and gave no real information. We shifted to Telegram to start paid job training. I was required to authorize my work account through Revolve-fashion.com employee portal with an etransfer to my crypto wallet of $26 (I also got to open a crypto account for the first time, which required another $20 etransfer to authorize that account), which was then changed to USDC and sent to an external wallet. In my training, the training account had a high fashion product which required my trainer to recharge their account (which meant they deposited money into it to bring it to a positive balance) and I ended up making $112 CDN commissions after I completed my evaluations (30) for the day. I cashed out and was happy about the return. I started work the next day and my work account populated with $280. 10 products into my 30 I got a high value item that required a recharge of $440. I sent it. Once it cleared, I kept going and got another recharge for $2100. I sent it. I had already been paid once. Once this one cleared, I kept going and at product 17 of 30, I got another recharge for $7100. It took me 7 days and I sent it. I was told I agreed to the terms to recharge my account so I was responsible for bringing my account back to a positive balance or I would face legal action. After this cleared, I kept going in my product evaluations, then at product 25 I got a recharge of $20,000. They told me I was so lucky, that I would get everything back once I paid. I told them I had enough information to expose their operation and I didn't appreciate their dishonesty. I discontinued working for them and am exploring how to reclaim my money invested. I did look at the fashion selling site revolve.com and noticed there were products listed up to $40,000. I know that if I had recharged again and continued, that I would have had another $30,000+ recharge before my first day of work was even complete. Do not work for revolve-fashion.com it is a scam and they are not overseen by any regulatory agencies for cryptocurrency. They refer to employees in print as businesses, which absolves them from civil liability and blocks channels for victims getting their money back. They utilize crypto wallets (a new one each day) and to move money into it they guide you to identify it as your own so you cannot go through Crypto to request money back. To move money back out to deposit back to you they go through USDC then convert to Ethereum and then to CDN which was what I needed. Seems legit and had me seriously fooled. The bots told me they were young immigrant moms (from Ireland and Finland) who had recently relocated to Canada and they were all sharing photos celebrating America. Thanksgiving feasts on American Thanksgiving weekend, but all with photos of empty plates and no people...while they lived in Canada...and were from countries other than America.

Employment - Employment - Task Optimization Scam

The company advertised on Facebook. Laid off from my full-time job in April 4, 2025, I received rejected emails from hundreds of jobs I applied to. So I saw this job and said this looks easy to do so I responded. They didn't have any formal interviews process, just threw right into the mentor and training process. I was to be on their website, Talentium.io then they claimed they had system difficulties so they had us log into Talentium-agency.com. I was assigned 20 docs to distribute. When I clicked to distribute sometimes I completed but sometimes I* had Immediate jobs popped up you had to "recharge" your account in order to move on. You had to recharge with your own money, which was not told to us that we had to use our own money. I had to recharge 200. Then the second day, I received an Immediate job and I had to recharge to 500. Then I received another Immediate for $,2800. When I got to #14-20 they were all 7 Immediate jobs. And that's when I lost it. Each time it took a while to get the money. I asked Live Support I wanted to resign and he stated that I cannot resign until I complete the 20 docs. I asked Live Support is #20 an Immediate job and he stated no that I did not have anymore. When I hit #20 it was an Immediate Job. I lost $80,000 and I tried to withdraw. I put the amount of my commission and all of the fees and fluctuation of rates and wire fees to Live Support and they sent to my account $156,785.07. So when I tried to submit my withdraw, it stated I cannot withdraw because of my credit score with them. Apparently, when you take 30 days to get the money to recharge my score when down to 70. I had to recharge my credit score the same when I sent to recharge my account, through crypto currency. I had to buy 0.5 percent at $500 and I needed 30 to reach 100 again to withdraw my commission is another $15,000 to withdraw $156,785.07.

I was approached last year to do online order boosting to get merchants more exposure to sell their merchandise on different platforms. There’s a set amount you get paid for working each day, have to do a set of tasks in order to receive funds for your time. Each set of orders you do comes with commission base to that. As your boosting items, making more money, high ticket orders come your way. So let’s say you have $3k in your working account, an order comes over for $4k with potential to make $1.5k commission, you have to add that extra $1k to make up th difference to fulfill the order. I stopped doing it and ignored them for long time. Then recently they reached out to me about settling an outstanding order with merchant that was $4k because I didn’t have money to put out and I wasn’t covering that cost. So long story short, I paid $300 to clear the balance with the merchant, extra fees because some supposedly tax, they tried sending me th funds into crypto account I have and never received not one bit of funds this time around. In the beginning yes I received funds from them from what I made that day. Now not one penny has come to me. This is not to be confused with Rebag that is out of New York. They are legit and I reached out to them via email. I should’ve did that a year ago.

They ask for a 200 dollar deposit to verify your crypto account. Then it was 300 dollars to verify something else but when they posted that payment they took 7 cents so it would be short and I had to deposit another 310. Then they wanted 500 because my account was less than 60 days old then they wanted another 600 to counter the “AML”(anti money laundering) policy, clearly they are the only ones laundering money though. every time I deposited they promised it would be the last time and I would be able to withdraw my funds and all the money I deposited after I did each one. Obviously I stopped sending money but the pay out was 22 thousand that I had won so before I knew it was a scam it seemed legit and totally worth it.

I normally use this crypto platform to transfer funds from my investment account so I can sell and convert them to either a debit card or a bank transfer. However, this time I transferred a larger amount than usual, and now they won’t let me withdraw. They never notified me that my account was locked, and only after I contacted them did they say they’re “looking into the issue.” They still won’t allow me to withdraw my money, they keep saying they will expedite the process, but nothing has been resolved. I haven’t been told what the issue is, why my account was locked, or given any explanation at all. I’ve also seen reports from other people saying they lost money on this platform with no explanation, which makes me extremely concerned.

Warning about a crypto scam connected to a Chinese livestreamer The scam app is called Exvosty. Initial contact started on TikTok, then moved to WeChat from China. The person who approached me uses the name “Jennie” and the TikTok handle @ren_t80. The pattern is classic “pig butchering”: – They build a romantic or emotional connection – Then slowly introduce a “special” crypto investment – The app shows fake profits to make you deposit more – When you try to withdraw or stop, they stall or disappear I am documenting everything and reporting it to platforms and authorities. If someone you met on a livestream or TikTok pushes you to install Exvosty or invest through a private app, do NOT send money. Protect yourself.

i was contacted via text message by a person claiming to be “Annie Corbin” from Nexxen offering me a part-time, remote job that would take 20-30min for training and i could start making money the same day. first i was instructed to make a training account on a fake website with a join code and then i was told to “optimize” product engagement using AI, all i did was press two buttons. long story short, i did a whole bunch of things to go along, they had me add $18 to my cashapp and we are now on the buying of bitcoin step. my “account” on the fake work webpage is in the negative and needs $18 or so to “top it off” to keep working, they sent me screenshots of reviews from fake people claiming that it was a necessary and trustworthy step, one of the reviews was from a “Nina Patesh” for cryin out loud. you would think they’d at least be clever with it. but i assume now that they’ve had me add $18 to my CashApp that they’re going to have me buy bitcoin and try and “deposit” the 18 bucks into my account using the crypto wallet address that they are going to send me through WhatsApp. they have three “Customer Service” numbers linked to WhatsApp. apparently when you work for them you still contact “Customer Service” for support lol. i can explain the whole thing in more detail if its important but its so long, this was over like two days cuz i was tired of keeping up with them so i kept delaying. they asked for screenshots of everything but i made sure to keep crucial personal info hidden, this is more of a report and mockery than it is a cry for help or pity. ive seen too many scam videos and stories to fall for whats obvious, it was kinda fun while it lasted, but i aint buyin bitcoin so this is the end.

The pose as a task completion company and have a fake website. You invest money via crypto to unlock tasks and then they make it impossible to get your money back or your large ‘return.’ They reached out via text then insisted I get on WhatsApp. I was added to a group of either other scammers or victims or both to create the illusion of a community chat team of other task submitters. I was also able to ‘withdraw’ a smaller amount 100-378 3 times to make it appear legitimate. I was told if I complete tasks over 5 days I would get $1050 on top of commissions, $2000 more for 15 days, and $3000 more for 30 days of ‘work.’ I believe they found my information on a job posting site. When I told them I couldn’t satisfy the ‘negative’ amount the scammer offered to help with half the funds. They pretended to send funds to the ‘platform’ on my behalf and I sent the other half. Lo and behold the negative got bigger after submitting for the last task right before obtaining the large payout. .. They send you small amounts of ‘profit’ at first to obtain trust, use scam groups, and display urgency to get you to submit more money. In reality, you will never get your money back.

Person at Braxons Group offered investment in Crypto Etherium. He allegedly made good profit but kept pushing me to invest more money. I had come to the end of my savings and said I’d like to close the account. He said that was no problem and sent the Etherium to Wallet.Trustedwallet.io . I tried to send the asset to an exchange wallet so I could sell it for cash. This wallet said that because the funds going to the trading company had not come through this wallet I had to go through Anti Money Laundering Authority investigation. They said that would take years to complete OR I could send them 45% of the value of the asset as a verification that the Etherium was actually mine. I didn’t have that amount so I told them to send it to AMLA. After about a month they contacted me again. Chris (apparently in the UK) and Daniel (maybe in Switzerland) said they had come up with a less expensive plan to access my Cryptos. I was to send $6000. for something call “know your customer” for some kind of verification. Then when I tried to send the Etherium to my exchange wallet again, it was blocked again because I had to pay capital gains tax. I asked what country this tax was for and was told Switzerland. They said the profit was made there so that’s who got the tax. Daniel is the contact at Trusted wallet.io. 647 660-8849. I am not sending any more money. Clearly the Cryptos were non existent right from Braxons Group on.

I was targeted in a long-term crypto investment scam connected to a website called Fire Capital Market (firecapitalmarket.com). The scammer contacted me on Telegram in July 2025 and posed as a knowledgeable crypto trader. He pressured me to deposit money repeatedly, telling me: “You need to deposit more” “You must upgrade your plan” “You will lose profit if you don't add funds today” “Trust me, I am helping you” “Bigger deposits mean bigger withdrawals later” He sent fake screenshots of profits, fake trading results and daily “earnings reports” to make the platform look real. He instructed me exactly how to buy cryptocurrency on Coinbase and how to send BTC and SOL to wallet addresses he provided. Through repeated pressure, he convinced me to deposit increasing amounts of money through cryptocurrency and one Interac e-Transfer. After my deposits, the fake platform showed a “balance” of $54,090 USD. When I tried to withdraw, they refused and demanded a 20% “processing fee” of more than $10,800 USD before releasing any funds. This is a classic advance-fee withdrawal scam. The trading dashboard and profits are fake. The scam involved: A handler on Telegram who pushed me to deposit more Fake profit screenshots A fraudulent trading website Instructions to send crypto to unknown wallets Refusal to process withdrawals unless I paid an additional large fee This is a fraudulent crypto investment scheme designed to steal money from victims.

Website Reported: https://www.rarrz.com Scam Type: Online Purchase / Investment Scam (Pig-Butchering Crypto Scheme) Summary: The website rarrz.com was promoted to me by a scammer during an online conversation. After reviewing the platform and cross-checking its information with independent sources, I found multiple indicators that it is a fraudulent or illegal crypto-investment website. Key Warning Signs: • Fake FinCEN Document Rarrz.com displays a “FinCEN MSB Registration Status” PDF that does not match official FinCEN formatting. FinCEN does NOT approve or endorse MSBs. The document appears fabricated and is being used to mislead potential victims. • Suspicious Business Registration The “rarrz” corporation is registered in Colorado but uses a virtual mailbox for its Denver address (1312 17th Street Suite 347) and a mail drop in Miami, FL. There is no evidence of any real trading company operating at these locations. • Impossible Trading Activity vs. Actual Website Traffic The site claims to support active cryptocurrency trading and gives the impression of a functioning exchange with circulating assets. However: Semrush data shows fewer than 100 monthly visits to the entire website. A real trading platform needs thousands to millions of visits/users to generate any meaningful trading volume. A platform with almost zero visitors cannot legitimately have “active circulating crypto” or real customer transactions. This mismatch is a major red flag and is typical of fake “investment dashboards” used in pig-butchering scams. • Independent Fraud Warning Third-party risk analysis platforms classify Rarrz.com as “Suspected Fraud,” rate it extremely low, and state that its claimed “FinCEN license” is fake. Source: https://www.traderknows.com/en/wiki/organizations/80f3dbd97e514c348c23ecdf135dbf27 • Direct Connection to a Scammer A scammer personally sent me this website link as part of a typical crypto-investment fraud attempt. This matches the known method where scammers guide victims to fake exchanges to steal funds. Risks to Consumers: Fake profits shown on the dashboard Deposits accepted but withdrawals blocked Possible identity theft if ID documents are uploaded Loss of cryptocurrency or personal financial information Conclusion: Rarrz.com shows overwhelming signs of being a fraudulent crypto-investment platform. The combination of fake government documents, shell company registration, extremely low traffic, impossible “circulating crypto” claims, and its direct use in a scam attempt make it unsafe for any consumer. Consumers should avoid this website and report any related contact.

Ellsworth and Vane advertised on Instagram to join test group in cryptocurrency futures trading. I decided to check it out. The WhatsApp group initially focused on teaching about stocks and crypto (good stuff educationally), and they also recommended stocks/crypto to buy and when to sell. I watched their recommendations for 2 months and most of their recommendations in stocks profited 20-50% (short/medium term like 5-20 days). They also gave away free USD, BTC, USDT and their crypto EVOX. They then shifted to participating in 1 week of testing, 2-3 trades per day, using a platform called Vinance and Realm, using their $300 where at the end of the week you return the $300 and you keep the profit. All of their trades were on Cryptos that only existed on their platform, so no way to validate behavior elsewhere. In 5 days I grew that to $900. Then they shifted to put in your money, always advising to be conservative and only small amounts, and continue testing, 2-3 trades per day. That continued for 2 weeks. I put in $500 and grew that to $3800 in 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks I did a trade using ~ 10% of my account (~$350) going Long and during this trade it went negative - 500%, which is $1750.00. All of a sudden the trade closed automatically and my account went to $0.00, except (1) the amount withdrawn was ~ $3200, (2) I had $3800 in my futures account, and (3) the trade went up to 250% (or $875 profit). The admin claimed I used 20% (which still would have been under $3800) and that it was my fault. Also, the admin had said since this was testing if we followed the trades they would cover any losses, but they claimed I did not follow the trade, even though I had screen shots before and after that showed my balance, what I bet, what it closed at, and my final balance. I spoke to several other members in the group and the same thing occurred to some of them. The people running the group were: Walter Johnson, Kenneth Hudson, Charles Moreau, and Lydia Quinn. They claimed they were FinCEN certified, but I found out on FinCEN their status was submitted. Also the Vinance and Realm site they used (https://h5.vinancerealm.top/) and App were created in July 2025. I could not validate their existence in any way. Technically Iost $500 of my own money, but others I talked to lost as much as $20,000. There were others saying they were betting amounts in excess of $500,000 but no clue if they were real or if they lost their money. Lastly, I was given about 750 units of EVOX, which the admin claims when it is unlocked in 02/01/2026 it is mine and I can withdraw it, and it is worth over $3000 as of 11/25/25, but I will be surprised if that money still exists as clearly they were a scam. I think the ended me earlier than others using more money because I was starting to question the validity too much and they were concerned I might be a poison pill to the rest of the group.

We are raising a serious public complaint against AMLBot (Safelement Ltd.) regarding the conduct and mishandling of a fraud investigation case. We signed a contract governed by New York law, paid $3,500 for crypto asset tracing and legal support, and were misled by an individual using the name Alex, who claimed to be an official AMLBot agent. AMLBot has failed to deliver results, has not responded to multiple follow-ups, and continues to avoid responsibility for the fake contract, misleading reports, and lack of accountability from their representatives. This includes hiring an alleged lawyer named “Natalia,” who is not a licensed attorney and provided no verification or meaningful assistance. We demand AMLBot clarify its internal practices, investigate how its platform was used to defraud clients, and issue a refund with damages. We are preparing further legal action. The public is advised to exercise caution when dealing with AMLBot or any of its so-called “authorized agents.”

It started bit by bit. First we were asked to upload crypto on to a platform and when you hit buy it would mimick as if you are buying a product and reviewing the product. It did that over a cycle of 10-20 products. Each time it would ‘buy’ a product your crypto would be processed and refunded back to you until you hit a product which would be worth more than what was in your account. Then you could not retrieve your money until you added more. You could also not retrieve your money until you finish the entire 10-20 product cycle. At first it was small but the more money you have in your account the more expensive the product you would receive which meant you had to upload more and more crypto to retrieve what you have on the platform.

Investment - Crypto/Investment Scam - Facebook Ads

While initially looking for stock trade signal and option trade signal services, I am across this ad on Facebook that offered exactly that (Facebook will do its best to show you "relevant" ads once you searched once for it). It was a WhatsApp group, signal trade alerts. At first those alerts were on the stock exchange and were highly succesful. Clearly to build trust. Over time, the signals "moved" to crypto and their own token "STRO", which was bound to triple or more-fold in the forseeable future. Their STRO token was launched on the "SLOGEM" crypto exchange, which is clearly in on the scam, or it is theirs. Having bought the token, they then started alerting crypto futures contract trade signals. A lot of "people" in the group (who are probably all in the scam), posted screenshots of 100%+ gains per trade signal. Eventually, when the stock market took a bit of a dive, they focussed hard on motivating people to sell their stock assets and move it all to the crypto exchange to buy more STRO tokens and be able to trade with larger numbers, creating larger profits. All the crypto they traded is nowhere to be found on any other trading platform: CITADEL, ECHO and SIGIL. All fake crypto. If you ever want to take out / withdraw funds, you receive a message that says something like "Frequent transfers detected, to protect this user's assets, please try again in 7 days." In other words, you are never able to take out your funds again. Important to be published along with the scam information would be all the names of the "people" that run this scam, which are of course all fake names. In the group they go by: Gregorty Hawthorne, or Mr WiseOwl. Mr Adrian Merritt or Mr On-Chain Hunter. Their "manager" Sophia Marlowe.

Same as previous poster, ******* *******, ***** ****** and ***** *****. Started with trading signals about stocks with this STB5.0 AI computer system. Did well with that but then they had a wheel to spin on their website where u could win their LST tokens/crypto but u had to download an app called IPXN Max. Then they deposited 600 dollars in your account to help test their computer trading crypto futures. Got the account up to 15,000 and sent them the 600 back. Using leverage u could risk little but make 60-120 percent profit on each trade multiple times a day. Got the account up to 65,000 and got worried it was a scam so started the process of getting my original 58 K out of account. About an hour later I was notified of a special private club trade so I joined in. Apparently it was a set up a bad trade per say I guess cause within a few minutes my whole account went to zero and my original 58K was gone they said I made a mistake using too much leverage then invited me to invest more money and i could recover my losses.

Dear Sir/Madam, I wanted to report this scam or fraud crypto platform to make sure other people are not scammed by them. I was targeted and scammed by a fraudster (scammer) and he took $18,155 by means of investment in crypto ICO coins on the platform Bigfta.com or Bigfta.co It may be based out of Asia (Singapore). The scammer took payment from me on a crypto wallet, claiming that the ICO coin will be listed on this platform. Later, he scammed me by cancelling the purchase of new coins, which caused me a loss of $18,155. I am in acute hardship due to multiple crypto scams. I have lost over $150,000 of my savings over the past 2 years :(((( For the scam on the platform Bigfta, I approached them about this scam in mid 2025 and they did investigation and told me that the scammer indeed scammed me. They informed me that, using blockchain technology, they can help me recover my lost funds. In order to do that, they said that I have to unfreeze my account by adding $2,000 to my account. After gathering funds, I have added ~2500 over the recent months to unfreeze the account and also recover my lost funds. Just last week, after I made the deposits for $2500, they stopped replying to my message and now the site has gone in accessible or inactive. I have attached the screenshot of my account assets and you may notice that, funds for 18,155 USDT have been recovered, along with the funds I have added. I have funds in USDC wallet, added to unfreeze my account. Please see the screenshot of my crypto account wallet showing the recovered USDT funds and USDC funds. On top of 18,155 USDT, I have added USDT and USDC funds nearing $2500. I'd like to report this crypto platform Bigfta that, they are a fraudulent platform and scammers. They cheated me by taking more money from me, by creating fraudulent impression of recovering my earlier lost funds from a separate scammer. Please take quick action by reporting this platform as fraudulent and scam site. Thanks for your help in reporting them.
