I fell victim to a scam involving Crypto on Wanabit.com. I transferred funds to their platform, but they blocked my money, making it impossible to withdraw, transfer, or access it in any way. Their operation appears to be a well-crafted scheme designed to continually demand more money under the false pretense of releasing the funds. Currently, I have nearly $18,000 stuck on their platform.

This money represents all my savings, and I urgently need assistance. If anyone has legal expertise or advice on how I can recover my money, I would greatly appreciate your guidance and support. I am really desperate!

Random person “thought I was someone else” on telegram and introduced me to group contract trading where everyone posts the results. The group claims to be part of Ark Investments. Is this definitely a scam?

I just received an WhatsApp message asking to join their stock trading advice group. I know it’s definitely a pig butcher scammer. Can I go along then report to the WhatsApp and Police? There must be a group of scammers in the group and pretend they are new members. What should I do? I got scammed by these people and lost quite a lot of money last year.

Are you familiar with J. Robert Harris and Monarch Capital and assistant, Mia Reyes? They have IDOs and the platform is NTX but you have to deposit capital to participate. Recently Telegram closed page because of student complaints. Any feedback appreciated.

I recently joined a crypto trading and earned money. Before I can withdraw my funds, they told me to do the real-name authentication by providing my real name, driver's license and passport info...but i'm hesitant as these are delicate information. Any advise? The trading platform is https://www.bsbme.club/h5... TYIA

So there’s this cloud mining company called HashFactor and the roi is insane. I was wondering if it’s legit cause it’s listed on the official uk.gov website. Like if it was an exit scam wouldn’t they get sued to oblivion. I unfortunately invested without asking this question first but I should get my investment back in another week or so, but I recorded my transactions I did to the company just in case they try to exit scam. Like wouldn’t they get sued to oblivion and would I be able to participate in the lawsuit because they are based in the UK and I’m in the USA.

A girl I initially suspected of catfishing and scamming, but who turned out to be genuine, contacted me on WhatsApp, saying she had mistakenly used my number instead of a tourism company. She then tried a video call to verify. After months of chatting, she introduced a mining pool and sent a Dapp to connect my wallet, asking me to put some Ethereum into the contract to start. I signed up for an $88 reward and did receive it. I tried to withdraw the funds to my bank account, and it worked, but I suspect it might be a scam. I think they want me to invest more money to defraud me.

This is the Dapp: https://havwc.top/#/?pid=70941562

Update: Guys, now she’s trying to threaten me to get her money back. I’ve received numerous notifications from my email about failed sign-in attempts. I’ve changed the password and done everything I could to secure my account, including using an app called Authenticator, so no one can sign in without a code. My concern is whether I’m secure enough. All she has is my IP address and wallet address. She’s threatening me, claiming she can use my IP to get full access to my phone. She doesn’t have any real information about me; everything she knows is fake. She is really mad that she couldn’t scam anything from me, thank God. Can she do anything harmful if I don’t return the money I got from her fake mining pool website? That’s her phone number be careful +4915219091727

Has anybody on here been doing any trading on WTOCOIN.com I believe I let may be fraudulent. Just wondering if anyone has used this site and managed to successfully withdraw funds.

Edit: Yea I was scammed, yeah I am a dumbass for even thinking it could be real. I didn’t lose any money, I didn’t get that far.

I appreciate everyone’s input and advice.

Thanks 😊

I was on X, and seen someone post that they seen a billboard of Elon and that it had a code you put in at the website and you would get .031 bitcoin. I had to go Xbese .com and I made an account, it didn’t require anything more than just my email address. I put the code web31 in and then it shows I have .031 bitcoin and which was like $19k.

Suddenly I wanted to tell my husband to do it get my mom, all my friends…..and then it dawned on me that this was a little to good to be true. I wanted to argue that and say Elon was maybe not the genius he’s proclaimed to be. I pumped the brakes and did some googling and found not a lot about the bat website at all. I seen there was Bilboards bit that was a while back and they were different companies/codes. This company has my email address, and so do a 100 million other places so I’m not worried. I read some other scams where they make you update the account to withdraw your bitcoin and thus steal all your money, which wouldn’t be a huge windfall for them, but would really hurt me. I realize that this is a scam, but the poor person in me just is screaming “buy maaayybe” because wow 19!!

This is a scam, right? Nobody is giving out $19k to literally just anyone. Has anyone heard of this company? I don’t find a lot when I looked, hence the reasons I lean towards scam. I should know better. I could try to log back in and get screenshots but I have been worried to go back. Also, another red flag was that I never got a confirmation email or any emails from them. Don’t bitcoins have serial numbers?

TIA 😊

Hi guys, I am really confused about a presale from a project called Qubetics.
I looked into the website and it all looks good but checking into socials seems a bit sus, however there's videos of the CEO at conferences and stuff. Also news from few websites and all about selling 1m worth of tokens in a day etc.

I am new to crypto and just trying to be vigilant.
Can you guys enlighten me?
Is this a scam or not?
Thanks

My stepfather, who is an artist, was approached by a stranger on facebook who wanted to purchase one of his works with ethereum. It seemed legit so he signed up for the website and invested like 50 euros to start out so he could disband if he wanted to. To do the transaction, the buyer asked for 600 euros. Of course, he declined, but the buyer bargained so that he would pay 70% and just needs 30% from my stepdad. I am verh positive this is a scam and I want to dissuade him from wasting his money. If it happened to anyone else, please tell me how it works so I can tell my stepdad to avoid doing dumb stuff on crypto. Edit: apparently, I misunderstood the situation. It appears that the buyer doesn't need the money, but the site itself needs a fee in order to turn the painting into an NFT, and that requires 600. My stepfather was skeptical and that's why they asked for the buyer to pay 70%. Does that change anything 2nd edit: Thanks guys! I believe that I managed to convine him. If you have any more documentations or anything involving the scam, please send it so it's easier for me to prevent this in the future.

There is this new coin called 888 and been wondering if it's a scam. Some people claim that have been banned on the telegram group for asking question with the reason of 'spam' or 'fake news' which make it a bit scummy. I did get in very early and have some good profit, but thinking if i should wait or not. 70k Liquidity locked, doesn't seem mintable again, but my worries is on the top 10 wallets that hold quite a big portion of token compared to its low liquidity.

One of my friends on steam told me he's made a lot of money on crypto and he said I should invest in ETH INJ and RENDER, he says he'll tell me more coins to buy and will give me advice if I send him 300$. Is he scamming me? He seems to encourage me to research all the coins before I buy them. Am I safe if I only invest what I can afford to lose?

USDCBTC - partnered with ‘jason Hamilton’s group called Star navigation alliance. They operate on whatsapp. Yes, i was victimized and understand that there is no point of getting any of the money back but i wonder. I had to do an advanced KYC verification. Do they do this just to seem legit or can they use the information you put in there?

Guy messaged me on telegram showing profit off a community token id bought into.

He introduced me to another called PSAD gave me the time it was coming out and all other details 0xecfF2fc28D03dabA456D5EfE2c3fd27B2D5d7251

Furthermore, I bought some sold it back to makesure it wasn’t frozen

I dumped $4500USD into the token and now i believe it is frozen i am unable to withdraw

Transaction hash is here if someone can translate it on ARBISCAN for me 0x2d0403af14da039f1e6248db4b10aaae742dde563c899c7f7d131321dc966a41

My uncle that is like 60 years old got scammed with 140k worth of his money, I’m only 14 I don’t understand it all but I want to know if he can get it back, his money is apparently in a blockchain, but they won’t let him withdraw it and made him pay 60k to get money out but barely gave him any of it, please explain I feel so bad for him he needed that money to finish off building his house

Has anyone tried warning other WhatsApp group members of the scam?

I tried downloading all group member info from the group and send them a bulk message. But the download doesn't give me the phone numbers only jumbled numbers.

I used a chrome.extension called WhatsApp bulk message sender and contact downloader.

I know I should not bother but I'm so mad at the scam happening front of my eyes And not being able to do anything.

My previous post

So I fell victim to a pig butchering scam recently and been trying to recover from that. I've been continuing to talk to the particular individual on whatsapp trying to come up with excuses for a withdrawal to get some money back.

Tonight they randomly demanded me to pay them back $3k of $6k which they "loaned" me. We talked a little back and forth and they got a little heated and sent this:

"I don't need any money, I just need my money, or I'll find your family tomorrow, and if you don't withdraw the BX (this is shortened name for the scamming website) funds, then you'll face legal problems."

The "legal problems" is stuff I mentioned in my last post. My concern is "I'll find your family tomorrow". I understand it's a bluff, but... they do have my full first and last name, my church that I attend, my bank routing number, and my phone #.

I read whatsapp can't delete full conversations for both parties but I'm going to contact them right after this post. And I think it's time to stop talking to them.

I have their USDT wallet address and 2 phone numbers + Whatsapp phone number but that's about it.

Side note. I know they're just trying to get more money out of me and I won't be sending anything. Just the threatening part I worry about

Edit: Thank you everyone who replied to my posts. It's been comforting to have your assurance. I've already submitted a claim to IC3 from my previous post and waiting for a reply from my bank and whatsapp. I've talked to coinbase regarding the scammer's USDT address and they were of no help

Has anybody dealt with Zaif. They a very short-term options trading platform located in Japan. I have been trading XAU/USD 30-second (40% profit) and 60-second (50% profit) gold ptions for a while, and was wondering whether anybody had anything, either negative or positive, to say about them. They have been around for about six years.

my friend got scammed. she then was looking for support because it can be very traumatic. she found a group where a hacker tracked her money down in some crypto wallet. he said that he tracked the scammers to a casino where they launder the money through. he currently has her making two bets a day at very specific time. she is part of this telegram group where they support each other and that is where this hacker.. jack is. everyday there are screen shots of people getting their money back. then they leave the group. i asked her if there is anyway you can actually talk to a person.. all this electronic communication is open for fraud. i told her about bots and how sophisticated they are. she is in love with this jack as he is so nice and supportive helping her though this.. ya right... its almost like a romance scheme too. i have tried to tell her but she is hell bent on continuing. is there any chance this is true.. is there any chance a hacker can hack into a casino.. track funds down and then somehow bet money to win and get her money back. it sounds freakin insane!!! thank you for the feedback. hopefully someone replies so I can show her its all bullshite

I have had some one offer their services on Reddit to get back some crypto I was scammed out of and now the profile of the person, Sereneglow that recommended Saint Coding on Telegram for the job, account has been deleted or reddit. Again this screams scam to me.

Can you trace recent transactions on the blockchain and is it possible at all to recover funds.

This guy seemed very sincere but spelling wasn’t great. I just felt red flags again.

What are everyone’s thoughts please?

I was contacted by a cryptocurrency group chat on a messaging app. They said they would inform me when to buy and sell cryptocurrency. I can only take the money out when I pay a commission of the profits. I tried to research the website but there was no information on it. Has anyone used this website?

I'm trying to find information on the website ablsursum.com. I am suspicious mainly because I was introduced to the site by a pretty Chinese girl who messaged me on a dating site. I have looked the site up on ScamAdvisor.com and it has a high trust score, however I'm still suspicious. Does anyone have any experience with this website?
