Lm Chen stole my coins and never pay me naira back.

Ended up into a Telegram channel advertised as Kryptonian, Friday 26th early morning CET and after some posts a recommendation to go into a ICO for Espresso Systems was posted (Token name ESP). The scammer used in the channel the real project links like Espresso Systems webpage, social networks, etc and recommended to start buying ASAP for riding the boat of opportunity with expected heavy earnings, in the posts its was even explained a detailed step by step guide on how to get the tokens via Uniswap. The scammer pumped the price from €.001 to a total of €2.00 (at the time of writing this report) and I unfortunately fell for it stupidly innocent, I started with small amount and after shaping it I did a test to send 1 token to another address, and worked, but I didn't try to sell for additional verification. Today a "Scam" label was posted in the channel and I started reviewing in much more detail everything that scammer posted and commented, like announcements where espresso systems partnered with the biggest exchanges (I.e. Binance, Coinbase) and then its when I finally tried to swap the token into USDT but the transaction failed. I am very rusty in my coding, but still managed to read the contract and found out the contract is not verified, and the code is hardcoded to not permit any sell. This scam is on-going right now (April 29th, 2024) and probably will keep running until May 3rd (Date when the scammer posted in the channel as the moment when He/She will withdraw funds deposited and earnings.

This Tuesday, April 23, I was lured by a link in a local newspaper, advertising AI-assisted stock trading. After entering my phone number, the first scammer hoaxed me into "investing" a sum of 214 EUR via my debit card to open an account on marketstrading.ai. This first scammer introduced himself as Luka Panic, and spoke my mother tongue (Serbian) with a strong Slovenian accent. He first contacted me from a number with a country code of Cote d'Ivoire, but after I becamea suspicious, he said he couldn't hear me and then contacted me via the local number +381612746230. After a few hours, the second scammer emailed me with the link to my account on the said website https://marketstrading.ai where I saw my account with duly noted my initial "investment". The following day, I noticed that my balance had grown from the initial 214 EUR to some 350 EUR, and that was when I really got hooked up (to my enormous embarrassment). The scammer then phoned me via +442039960196 and sweet-talked me into "investing" more. I believed and sent him BTC value of about 1900 EUR to this address 1BpdyFct2vv5JHguXvscFRFuK2HdsBKfcG (I am reporting that scam right now, at chainabuse.com). Yesterday and today, my account balance miraculously grew to around 35,000 EUR, but when I requested to withdraw a portion of it, the scammer started to come up with all sorts of excuses. Then (only then, foolishly) I started to search the net more thoroughly and found out it was very probably a scam. d'Ivoire

The report warns about an investment scam involving Tracy Noy and Climax Forex Trade. Tracy, operating under a fake identity on TikTok, lured the victim into depositing $300 into a cryptocurrency trading account on ClimaxForexMarket.com. Despite initial skepticism, the victim was persuaded by promises of substantial gains. They observed some profits but encountered obstacles when attempting to withdraw funds due to the platform's minimum withdrawal threshold of $5000. Tracy urged further deposits for account upgrades and verification fees, depleting the victim's finances. Desperate attempts to recoup losses through credit cards only worsened the situation. Despite confrontation, Tracy and the platform remained evasive. The victim has documented evidence for potential legal action and initiated disputes with their credit card company. The report serves as a cautionary tale against online investment scams and emphasizes the importance of skepticism and vigilance.

I have fallen for a task scam to "optimize apps". I was initially notified via text from recruiter from "Glassdoor" for a part time job, and if interested the hiring manager would reach out to me in the coming days via WhatsApp. 2-3 Days later a person reaches out of the name Joanne regarding the opportunity. She shares that it is a app optimizing job that includes 2 tasks of 40 apps to optimize to enhance app ratings and gain commision. We set up an account with just my phone number and new login and password and she "trains" to the tasks. Through this I earn $65 dollars and can withdraw the amount back to my cryto wallet. The next day she shares that inorder to get quality and real data the work account has to have liquidity funds with at least $100 to start the first set of 40 apps. I message a customer service person to reset the 2nd set of apps. At the end I am able to withdraw my initial investment and the earned commissions. I am starting to become weary because at some point we encounter "welfare" tasks and the account goes negative, and to continue and regain when you had initially put in you have to fund the account with equal to or more of the negative balance. I risk it and deposit $700 more dollars at one point. I eventually do get this sum back and the other deposits. It was only yesterday though that through my last welfare task by account reaches -$4000 and I've already but in $2853 in. I reach out to my brother to ask for money so I can just get my initial money back and but he finds a thread of reddit of the task app optimization scam and I quit all together. I have never fallen for such a scam and it was very elaborate. From training, to group chats, to responsive customer service I was hopeful, until the tasks are rigged and places the user in an compromised situation in hopes of regaining what was initial invested.

Capital Ex Pro, a company appearing to be properly registered with national securities regulators, together with the registered securities agent Mr. Lucas Fabal Pérez, engaged my client with an attractive investment opportunity. She was persuaded to make three financial transfers under the guise of investing in a lucrative trading platform: €7,997.70 on October 19, 2023, €5,585.70 on October 30, 2023, and €5,985.70 on October 31, 2023, totaling €19,569.10. The company operated on a simulated trading platform, which deceitfully displayed inflated profits. Her supposed account balance was shown to be €69,000, which she was later told was converted into 73,219 USDC and transferred to her Coinbase wallet. When she attempted to access these funds, she found that she could not convert or withdraw them. The company then demanded an additional €11,000 to "unlock" the tokens. Upon transferring these tokens to a MetaMask wallet for further analysis, it was discovered that despite being labeled as USDC, they were in fact worthless counterfeit tokens. This was confirmed by an analysis linked to an Etherscan report, which we have attached to this complaint for verification. Key Points of Fraud: Simulated Trading: The investments were made on a platform that showed entirely fictitious trading results. Counterfeit Cryptocurrency: The 73,219 tokens, presented as USDC, were discovered to be counterfeit, having no value. Demands for Additional Funds: The fraudulent operation demanded further payment ostensibly to "unlock" the already worthless tokens, a typical maneuver in financial scams. Action Needed: We urgently request the community's assistance in investigating this company to prevent further exploitation. Their method involves sophisticated fraud including simulated trading and the issuance of counterfeit cryptocurrencies. Documentation such as the Etherscan report has been attached to support our claims and facilitate the tracking and penalization of the perpetrators.

I found a crypto trading group on facebook that was proving great results. You just have to open an apexnumber account, deposit $100k, upgrade to VIP account, and earn a ton of money, and only pay 5% commission to the copy trader, whose name is Brian Harold as per his facebook profile. In about 1 month, my account was already at $1M. I was ready to pull out some money for the first time! I went to do so, and they tricked me with hidden fees says that I have to pay additional 10% of my account total (which comes around $107k) as tax fee and I won't be able to withdraw any money without paying this upfront 10% fee from out of my pocket. After a bit of research, it appears this is about the time they stop responding, and I don't expect to see my $100k deposit back. I pulled my apex wallet number that I deposited my money from blockchain.com, to find there is only $1300 (not $1M like my apexnumber account says). Needless to say, I feel like a total idiot I fell for this. I felt like I did enough due diligence, but was blinded by all the success I was seeing from fake profiles. All the red flags are so obvious now. Amount lost 100000.00 USD
