Scammer emailed victim from [email protected] and attempted to scam victim into sending $1496USD in Bitcoin to wallet ID 1N4NvQimAmh97y1D6VZz1w4AkdeRbfPcMs. Victim did not send any crypto and immediately reported the incident to Law Enforcement.

This all started out with me and Jessie being friends on LinkedIn. She asked me if I had Telegram to where I told her yes and we started chatting. It started off with a video chat but then there after all communication was through telegram. About a week into us starting I discuss buisness ( we are both in the manufacturing field) she asked me if I was interested in trading. She sent me a screenshot of a picture of her and her “godfather” Kenneth Griffin ( CEO of Citadel ) and he had her in trading and since I was a good friend she wanted to introduce me to it. So I insisted. I told her I would put $1500.00 into a platform. She asked me to download STRIKE and deposit the money and then transfer it over to www.coinsbso.com. We started trading and my profit was about 30% and she showed me how to withdraw my rewards back into my STRIKE account. I was winning so she asked me to deposit another 10k so I did. I kept on winning so she asked me to go in partners on the account with me. She would inject 30k and I would inject 30k and we could start trading at a 180s return. So I did. Well everything was good. Then the site stopped working. She said we would figure it out and told me that something was wrong with the platform and so my account and money was transferred over to m.avatradesl.com so that is where my money was. Well I tried to take out 5k out because I was curious and it froze my money. They sent me an off the wall email to where I knew I had been scammed. I consulted with STRIKE and they agreed and shut my account down. I asked Jessie if she would see what was wrong and then they said I needed to inject another 9k in for taxes. The account is still active and you can see my amount of 95k but not able to do anything with it.

I initially invested a small amount $500-$2000 with Facebook user Crypto Sharon/A1trustalt.com in January 2024, my investment increased and they asked for taxes and fees, as supposedly my profit increased they continued to ask for taxes and fees. Crypto Sharon encouraged that it was all legit. Sometime A1 and Crypto Sharon changed names website became A1trustalts.com and Sharon changed to WhatsApp Sharon Crypto. I paid for the website change and the KYC (know your customer), there have been numerous reasons for not getting my profits deposited. As of now my profits are "$393,000" and I've paid at least $100,000 in taxes, fees and other charges

I encountered an individual on an online dating platform who introduced me to an online trading platform. After initial successful small-scale trades, I was offered a "lucky activity" requiring a $10,000 deposit for a matching bonus. I understood this to be a voluntary opportunity. Due to banking and exchange processing constraints, I could not meet the specified deadline. As a result, funds were withdrawn from my account. Following subsequent instructions, I deposited $10,000 by January 10, 2025, to unlock my account. However, these funds were also withdrawn, and my account remains inaccessible. I am now being asked for an additional $30,000 to regain access. I believe I have been the victim of a fraudulent scheme.

Between April and June 2023, I lost about $4M as a result of a pig-butchering scam. I was led to believe it was an investment vehicle by someone I met on an online dating website.  In late April, I deposited about $600K, through multiple wire transfers, into what I believed was an account on a cryptocurrency trading platform called CEG . I didn’t realize CEG was fake and I didn’t understand the concept of a cryptocurrency wallet. Martin showed me how to trade crypto options on CEG, and within a few days, the platform showed that I had doubled my initial investment. Martin also allegedly transferred to my CEG account a total of $300k, bringing my CEG account total to what I believed was $1.5 million.  On May 1, Martin told me that I needed to deposit $1M into my account to offset the urgent crypto situation (I didn’t actually know what this was about, but just had blind trust in him).  Martin said that in the worst case, I would not lose my current $1.5M.  But, I had to put in $1M more to address the situation.  This is what led me to borrow money from my friend.  I was instructed to not reveal that the loan would be for cryptocurrency, as he stated that many people would not understand.  I deposited $1M and started to request withdrawal of my funds which is when more demands for money began. On May 14, after I requested the withdrawal for my fund and waited to arrive to my Coinbase account, CEG customer service suddenly told me that because my account contained money which could not be verified, so CEG needed to perform a “de-risk test.” Thus, I needed to deposit another 20% of my account total so their fraud department could perform the test.  Customer service assured me that once the test was completed, I could withdraw my money.  Martin Yan kept telling me that my money was safe and that it was just a matter of time to get the money out. After depositing additional $625K with other funds, I continued my efforts to withdraw funds from CEG. The platform kept sending reasons for delays and kept requesting more money, which is how I ended up borrowing another $1.7M. Martin was also constantly assure me that my money was safe. On June 8th, I received an email confirming that my request to withdraw $1.88M from my account was approved.  However, CEG customer service then informed me that the channel through which my money would be deposited is so congested that it may take three months to arrive at Coinbase.  In the meantime, they requested that I deposit another 10% of the total transferring amount to expedite the process.  On June 20, it finally dawned on me that something was really wrong when again, at the last minute, CEG customer service said that they couldn’t continue the money transfer because someone suddenly added 12 BTC, equivalent to $350K, into my account. On June 21, I reported the incident to the LA Sheriff's Department and filed reports with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies.

I am from Australia. I fell victim to a Pig Butchering Cryptocurrency trading scam in June 2022. I was approached by scammer on Facebook known as "Vera Pootskaya" and now same profile has been renamed as "Lucky Rainbow". Scammer became friendly with me asked me to chat via whatsapp. Then after couple of days started luring me into investing in cryptocurrency trading. She started sending me screenshots of her fake big profits. I trusted her and tested the waters by investing $3,000. Scammer would not talk to me citing poor english and guided me into sending money into binance, converting cash to USDT and then sending USDT via Tron network into fake crypto trading platform called coindouble.top. Scammer was guiding me step by step by sharing circled and highlighted screenshots. Fake website also had KYC at the start and fake customer service chat service which worked only at limited hours. These were mostly around 11 AM Adelaide time onwards and leads me to believe that scammers were operating from South East Asia region being their early morning. I was made to complete $3,000 transaction and they got me to send money back from their fake website to binance to my bank account to gain my trust in their fake trading portal. Then over next few days I sent $50,0000 to start trading. Scammer would run a 3-minute trade and I mostly ended up winning. My money was growing exponentially. I was excited and trusted the scammer more than ever. Then they trapped me via fake Free Crypto coins scheme and taxes. The fake website was giving free USDT coins if we deposited another 10,20,30k because of completing 600,000 customers. This was all fraud. Scammer created urgency for me to enrol for this scheme and then trapped me into investing more otherwise as per customer service all my 50,000 deposited would be stuck too. I arranged and sent more money and then in the name of taxes I transferred everything me and my wife had. Overall, I lost $214,700 to this scam. They shut me out and butchered me after taking in all my money. They took down the website soon after. The communication was happening through whatsapp chats with scammer, fake customer service chats on coindouble.top and fake email address - [email protected] Case was reported to South Australia Police, FBI and many other Australian agencies like ACCC, Binance, My Bank etc but to no success. Police told me scammers were out of Jurisdiction and were traced to Hong Kong and China. No further action was taken. Scammer is still actively operating Facebook profile "Lucky Rainbow" despite reporting it to Facebook as well. All transaction details have been shared. My amount had gone upto $350,000 (USD) including fake profits before I was butchered. Please trace using the TRX# and Wallet addresses that I have supplied. If you can trace and seize my money, please return back as these were my lifelong savings which has left me completely shattered and broke apart from mental health issues.

In early July 2024, I was introduced to the trading platform XAUTrade www.xt-ex.com by Ivanna Wong (Toronto ON). Wong stated she had a data analysis team that would review trends in get XAU market and would find trading nodes for large profits. Between July 2024 and September 2024 I deposited over 345,000 in USD to the XAUTrade platform and had ending balance in their account dashboard of over 7.45 million USD. These transfers were done via cryto with platform Gemini and Trust, then through international wire transfers via TD Bank and Discover. Twice Wong offered to share deposits to allow my trading balance to reach a higher level to qualify for larger trading nodes and larger profits. When I tried to withdraw funds from the account on 10/1/2024 they stated my account was locked in suspicion of money laundering as a result of the balance transfers done by Wong into my account. To unlock the account I had to deposit an additional $800,000.00 USD and Wong had to pay a fine of double the amount 1.6 millon USD into her account. It was then that I realized the platform was fake and it was all a pig butchering scam. Through the month of October Wong tried to convince me to contribute to the required deposits to unlock the account. I have opened a case with my local police which is the NY State troopers. I was informed last week by Trooper Mathew Gamb who originally took my statement that the case was assigned to Investigator Saraceno. The case was quickly closed - unable to track the money, and unable to work with Toronto agencies. Unwilling to help and invest time is the actual truth. As of November 15th, 2024 the xt-ex.com platform has locked me out of the login as I did not comply with the unlocking deposit instructions.

I was scammed by the platform called bywaytravel.vip. The job was about travel ratings to leave 5 star comment for bywaytravel.com. During the 38 clicks to leave comment on different travel destinations you get what the site calls EPs which throws my account in negative balance. I then must deposit by purchasing cryptocurrencies to recharge the negative amount to be able to finish the 38 reviews required for that day. However as soon as completed and ready to withdraw all my funds, the platform kept making excuses with other different kinds of fee to pay to be able to withdraw all my money. Regardless I paid those fees they would not return my money. I was interacted with a group of people in Telegram.

Approached by a scammer and guided to utilize Crypto.com and Strike to send cryptocurrency investments to B2Pmax.com and engage in supposed investment transactions. Once transactions completed, I was not allowed to withdraw any funds unless - first tax payment, then penalty payment, then risk guarantee deposit, then another penalty. I was given conflicting information about my account throughout the process - initially told all was good and then with more review it was not.

Victim was contacted by suspect, who claimed to be with Microsoft. Suspect scammed victim into withdrawing cash and purchase Bitcoin. Victim is at a loss of $27,000.

We matched on Facebook Dating. After a few days of chatting, she began to show me that she made money through day trading on what she called "bux" (see URL I've provided). Eventually, she asked if I was interested, and I said yes. The process involved sending money to an address through Cash App, and she helped me increase it to a large amount through day trading (she never lost money because she could analyze the market). And asking me to invest more, by this time I was aware of Pig Butchering and wanted out. This isn't possible though unless the amount exceeds $5k. We fought about why I was suspicious of her and stopped talking for a few days. She contacted me again to help get the money to 5k through day trading. However, there the website is asking me to send the tax money that would be made of it. Then I started looking for websites to help me and found this place

The scam, commonly referred to as a pig butchering scheme, began on June 14, 2024, when an individual named Grace contacted the victim via WhatsApp, introducing them to a financial analysis group. This group presented an investment opportunity in a cryptocurrency platform called AIDTE, claiming high returns through trading CDS (Credit Default Swaps). The group, allegedly led by a professor and his assistant, gained the victim’s trust by promoting the platform as a legitimate and highly profitable investment. The scammers encouraged the victim to invest progressively larger amounts, insisting on adding 20% for charity to enhance returns. Over time, the victim invested 1.5 million USDT into the platform. When attempting to withdraw the funds, the victim encountered barriers as the platform either blocked the withdrawal or requested additional deposits for "release fees." Investigations revealed that the funds were funneled through unhosted wallets on the TRON blockchain and then consolidated into deposit addresses linked to OKX and Binance. The flow of funds indicates a coordinated effort to obfuscate their origin and destination. Despite multiple attempts by the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (Cybercrime and Digital Investigations Unit) to contact T3CU (with detailed reports sent on October 16th, October 23rd, and November 26th, 2024), no response or action has been taken to date. This lack of cooperation has delayed progress in recovering the funds and identifying the perpetrators.
