Phishing - BlueForge Advisors LLC

I am filing this complaint against BlueForge Advisors LLC (618 Veldran Ave, PO Box 652, Oradell, NJ 07649), its principal David Kisver, and his associate Craig Nacandri. On May 11-12, 2026, I received Invoice No. ************ for six (6) Antminer S21XP Hydro 473T ASIC mining rigs, total $45,000.00, with delivery expected by mid-June 2026. I paid a combined total of $45,325.00: a $32,000.00 wire transfer completed May 12, 2026 (Reference Code **********) and a $13,325.00 credit card charge (Transaction ID ***********) posted 05/13/2026 to my ***** **** card ending in ****. The equipment was never delivered. After the mid-June window passed, David Kisver said the units had not been received from the manufacturer. Over the following weeks he gave no substantive updates, and by end of July 2026 stopped responding to calls, emails, and texts entirely. Requests to meet with him and his partner Craig Nacandri were ignored. In early August 2026, after calling from a different phone number he did not recognize, I reached David Kisver, who verbally promised a full refund and weekly updates. He has since sent only a single text message, on August 7, 2026, and provided no refund. I attempted to recall the wire transfer, but my bank confirmed it could not be recalled. I disputed the credit card charge with ***** Bank (Claim ID ****************); that dispute remains under review. No goods, refund, or other consideration have been received. I have also filed reports with the FBI IC3, Denver Police Department, the Colorado Attorney General, the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs, and FTC ReportFraud (report number *********). I am requesting a full refund of $45,325.00.

Investment

Hello good day, my dear elders, I was defrauded by an investment company.That's why I'm writing to you. The investment company is www.alphaventureslimited.org I met this investment company through a female intermediary on social media Telegram. This woman convinced me by saying that they earned their weekly and monthly expenses with this investment company. This woman is a British citizen, her name on social media Telegram is Rebecca. This lady is a British citizen, her phone number is +44 7444 702234 Then I became a member of this investment company. As of October 15, 2024, I started transferring money to the investment company. The company allowed payments to be transferred in crypto. My first payment was 100 USD, the company gave a bonus of 10 USD, then they gave me 3 USD as a bonus of 100 USD, I withdrew 13 USD. The investment company support officer was constantly asking me for money, for more profit. The support officer was saying, "Think of this company like a piggy bank, your money is safe with us." When I wanted to withdraw money, it kept asking me for money, no transfer fee, no mining fee, no tax, what else? As you can see in the attached picture, I wanted to withdraw my money on 17/11/2024, the company never paid me, by the way, the company gives bonuses, but the company demanded money for processing this. I have made a total of 135 payments to the company over a year, and I have transferred a total of approximately 17,000 dollars or USD to the company. I have withdrawn funds many times during this period, but unfortunately, the company has not transferred the money. Currently, the amount of money I will receive on the investment company's dashboard is 69,607 USD. The picture regarding this is attached sir. During this time, I made payments to the company and even filed 10 reports with Actionfraud. I'm very sorry to say that I couldn't provide documentation for this money transfer in the Actionfraud report section because it was crypto. I couldn't attach a picture or document to the report section. I recommend you pay attention to this, sir. I can provide all transfer receipts made to the investment company. I am a citizen of the Republic of Turkey. I reported this fraudulent investment company to the local police. Unfortunately, the local police informed me that the correspondence would continue due to the international incident. I reported this investment company to the FCA. Unfortunately, the FCA's response recommended Actionfraud because it was outside the scope of the company. I also complained about this investment company to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Unfortunately, the response I received was negative. That's why I'm writing to you. While tweeting against investment company X on social media, a citizen gave me your address. That's why I'm writing this; communication with the fraudulent company is still ongoing, the investment company is still asking me for payment for the transfer. The social media Telegram group members definitely say that the company is not a fraud and they want me to pay. My login information for www.alphaventuresltd.com Username: ********* My email address is: *********************** Phone numbers of WhatsApp authorized persons of the fraudulent company: +44 7428 933920 +46 76 412 02 89 +1 (640) 269-0044 +1 (730) 255-5519 You can reach me at this email address, my mobile phone is +90 531780 56 16. I don't speak English, but we can also chat on WhatsApp. The fraudulent company not only didn't transfer the money, but finally sent me an email demanding 550 USD. They say this is the final payment, but the company sucked my blood like a vampire, I'm financially tied up, I can no longer pay, I'm exhausted, sir. In the name of God, put an end to this suffering, I beg you to collect my money and to prevent others from suffering like me, I request that the necessary investigation be launched into this fraudulent company, sir. I wish you success in your endeavors.

Employment - Employment Scam

I believe I was targeted through an elaborate employment scam involving individuals presenting themselves as representatives of MyClearVoice and a client called Pure Minings. I was recruited for what appeared to be a legitimate remote part-time position and completed several weeks of onboarding, training, research assignments, spreadsheets, timesheets, banking-related work, and other assigned tasks. The arrangement appeared legitimate because I was provided with a company email account, work instructions, shared documents, trackers, schedules, regular assignments, and ongoing communication with an individual acting as my supervisor. I was told I would be paid for the hours I worked, with my first several weeks of wages combined into an initial payment. As the relationship progressed, the individual began discussing what was presented as a highly exclusive private auction involving diamonds and mining assets. I was told that the company wanted me to act as an independent representative and official bidder so that competitors would not recognize the company’s involvement. I was told I would register for the auction in my own name and participate either virtually or in person. The individual claimed that a VIP registration package cost $100,000 and that the money would be transferred to me in advance. I was then told that the auction supposedly required the registration fee to be paid directly from a bank account belonging to the registered attendee, meaning the funds would need to pass through my personal bank account. I was also offered $5,000 for my participation, in addition to airfare, lodging, meals, transportation, and other travel expenses. The messages referenced an alleged private auction in Dubai and supplied a website, passcode, mining-asset descriptions, diamond information, and detailed explanations intended to make the opportunity appear legitimate. I did not agree to transfer or forward the $100,000. In retrospect, this appears to have been an attempt to gain my trust through several weeks of realistic employment activity before involving me in a high-value financial transaction using my own bank account. On the date I expected to receive payment for the work I had already completed, my company email access was disabled or deleted and I did not receive the promised wages. I retained screenshots, messages, emails, timesheets, work assignments, onboarding materials, and other documentation. I am reporting this because the operation was unusually sophisticated. It involved weeks of realistic work, company-style communications, detailed assignments, supervisor contact, and apparent business transactions before escalating into a request involving a six-figure transfer through the worker’s personal bank account. Job seekers should be extremely cautious if an employer asks them to receive company funds personally, forward money, make payments from their own bank account, serve as a financial intermediary, or participate in transactions supposedly on behalf of the company.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I saw a very attractive coat when I did a Google search and couldn't believe the deeply discounted price. I went to the website oliveandevy.com and tried to purchase 2 items. The cart kept giving me card-error messages so I'd put it in and try another card. I didn't realize this was a fake site, mining me for credit card data, until I looked into it online. My bank blocked the card automatically and I was texted about an attempted charge of double what was in the cart and 7 further separate attempts to charge my card without any confirmation of sale for the items. They go by oliveandivy.com or oliveandevy.com but are registered @marenonli when they try to make the bank transactions. That was a cute coat. At $21, too good to be true.

Employment - Amazon Imposter Employment Scam

They contacted me by text saying they had a job opportunity where I would commentate and rate products at Amazon for a commission and bonuses. That I would not have to buy anything. They assigned me a trainer named Emily Smith. She had helped me open up accounts on the Exodus, Paybis and Cash App websites. It was very sophisticated rouse working on legitimate websites. In addition they had a so-called social worker group called “Amazon work group 104” chatting with each other, teaching each other on the Signal site on how to operate the business and it seemed very real and convincing. They were always chatting in the background as I was being trained by Emily Smith. I chatted with them also and they answered back so that made it feel all the more real. She had me set up all the above mentioned crypto sites and was having me passed through the money I made on these crypto sites every time I did a rating session on products. I started at the introduction level. I would do 30 products get paid commissions and then pass those commissions to the crypto sites and then bring them back to the worksite. It was convoluted. I initially figured they were doing crypto mining, or something where it helped the value of their crypto. Ethereum is the crypto they used. Everything was going along fine until I hit a what they called a “lucky bonus” where you got a very large payoff for one product. They said it was random and happened very very rarely. The only trouble was on this large commission, you had to have more money in the workstation. They call it the workerbee site. Just as long as I got the balance up to the required amount (which was turning into the thousands) was the only way to get the payoff completed on the super bonus. . I fell for the Random and rear excuse the first time and covered the payment with around $500 of my own money in several payments. I primarily worked between this Workbee site that was on the Signal and Exodus crypto site.. Then I got a super bonus even bigger than the last one which Emily says “almost never happens”. Here is where they wanted $2100 to cover the bonus payment. That’s when I put the brakes on and got real. I started complaining to Emily that this doesn’t feel right. I am putting in more money than I’m receiving. I told her that this is feeling like a scam now. She said no it wasn’t and then she’s been doing this for years. She even offered “as my new friend” to give me a portion of the $2100 and I would pay her back after the transaction with a large portion of my commission. I told her that if she had all this experience in this business and was sure of the payout, why can’t she go ahead and give me the whole $2100. She finally said she would put up $1500 but would never agree to pay the whole $2100 though. She always left $500 to $600 that I had to pay. The other thing that was interesting was when the dispute started about making this $2100 payment, all the chatter from the work group that was always happening in the background on Signal stopped. Emily kept talking to me, but the chatter stopped. I questioned her about that. She had no good answer. She tried every angle to get me to put the money up, but I refuse and she finally stopped talking. I have also not talked to her since. I never got Emily’s personal phone number but do have a copy of all the communications and photos going back back-and-forth with the training on the Signal site. If you’re interested in getting it, I’ll be more than happy to get that to you if you could show me how to copy it off the Signal site. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
