Bitcoin + online chain referral = illegal scheme

I got caught up in a scam using Bitcoin.... And thrown out of my bank!!!! They sent me a fake check I still have the bank documents for when they tried to electronically deposit it. I reported it to the police department here in town it was September 20,2917 nothing was done. I turned them in to Bitcoin all 8 ip addresses. Never got any of my money back. I did not set up Bitcoin someone else did.

Thank you

Thanks again. Scams seem to prey on the greedy side, which, sadly, we all share to some degree. My opinion.

I only recently signed up with FTC but already have found the information you provide extremely valuable. Thank you for protecting us consumers!

Be leary of any crypto investment company ending in .biz These guys promise high daily % returns, and will close within a week or two before even people who invested on day one would be able to withdraw enough to cover their initial investment amount. Then reopen under a different .biz domain and do it all over again.

glad I have no real $$$$

I filled out a complaint a couple of weeks ago because my investment funds went into the account within hrs but when I asked to withdrawal or close the account, they asked for more money to withdraw prior to sending funds. Also, the website seems to be shady.

I'm so glad I get the FTC reports. I don't think I would ever fall prey to one of these scams, however I always pass info on to my friends and family. Thank you

Thanks for the warning only on such chains letters or mails I will never answer.

Thanks for this info. You are doing a great job alerting us .But is the Government listening and doing something

Yes. Me too. But, i Love this

I am receiving calls that show my picture as if I’’m the one making the call. Then the recording says “AT&T ,,, your account has been flagged. At the beep please enter the last 4 digits if the primary account holder’s social security number.” Then it beeps and I hang up the phone. Has anyone Has anyone had this type call? We had never had one until we recently changed to AT&T.

Is there a way to try to get back money if someone scammed you? thanks

Is Forex Trading legal. Several older persons are investing life savings.

I submitted 383 pages of documents to local police, fbi and state attornies to no avail. None of them have contacted me. I was scammed 23k from bitcoin & property investment from fake companies(hello housing/midpen, peakmanagers/peakmanagement). The link is 4 wire transfers to bank accounts with Wells Fargo, SunTrust and Chase. The individual has a texas area code and has threatened my family, job and marriage. Associates have tried to send me 9975 thru PayPal. Any idea how to get anyone to investigate. I have contacted each place numerous times. Should I hire private investigator and show up at their place of employment.

I have contacted the Attorney general form each state to no avail. I have called and submitted tips to the Fbi on numerous occasions and they were more interested in protecting the criminals more than my family. Local police does not have manpower to connect the dots. The Secret service has been the most helpful but unless it is 350k plus it is difficult to investigate. The securities group will not handle it because they are fake companies. The banks that collect the wire transfers are harboring criminals and will not reply unless you notify the BBB and then they don't investigate the bank accounts. Most bitcoin are warehouses overseas but there are groups in the states that are hiding behind facebook. There are security checks that banks should be following and investigating that lead to criminal and money laundering schemes. Facebook should be held accountable and I can't even get their email address or get Bbb to investigate them. I have lost 23k this year due to criminals committing fraud and cannot get anyone to investigate. Can you imagine if I did not pay the IRS 23k, they would surely come after me. Also, I can't even get my own bank that I had for over 30 years to send a recall request on my behalf. The problem with the fbi and other organizations is they think short term or don't care. If I have someone try to put 9,975 into my PayPal account and me send them bitcoin exchange that should be a red flag. Also, if they are willing to go to 300k plus on later transactions that is the best time to catch them. Like I said before, majority are 5 hrs away but some are here in the states. The fake companies on the west coast had me send them personal documents on the case thru a fake lawyer on their behalf. I shutdown down their website once and rattle them and will continue but wish i had someone in my corner. My next approach is to write a book which i am on chapter 2 and it will be non- fiction. Also, let the legit bitcoin companies know of the fake companies and maybe they will handle them.

Hi... Can you please suggest me that someone recommended to me that Cryptzek.com is an investment company who gives you daily returns....is this scam or not????

cryptofx claims to be a binary options platform and can provide you a return of 95% or more depending on how much you invest. I was contact thru social media in which i was already trading stocks. I quickly learned that they are pushy and have you transfer to their website. They never change the amount you invest but the column next to it they put in fake numbers to show your profit. When you try to withdraw your money they tell you its a brokerage fee of 10%. You have to pay the fee first before you can get your profit. Once i paid the fee they then said there is a 1,500 its fee i would have to pay before i could receive my profit. I did not pay the 1,500 its fee but i am working with my bank to get the payment reversed back into my account. PLEASE DONT FALL FOR THE GREED TRAP OF GET RICH QUICK SCHEME. herry forss was who contacted me.

I was scam by this nice girl I pay 1,000 to start to trade, 300 membership, 100 don't remember, 2,000 of her commission, 500 to bank transfer, 2,000 to withdraw and final and now she wants 500 more to bank transfer, I constantly repeat her I want my money but she insists her 500 more i told her how many times I will be paying for withdraw? I have a debt almost in 7,000 just believing in her so nice and kind, I want my money back

Got Scam with intriction or make cheating on plan Please give refund solution

I got scammed out of a Bitcoin scheme saying that I was going to receive grant money I sent a total of $4,250 and I'm not received anything and I'm being asked for more money I've sent the money I have don't have the funds I don't have a way to recoup the funds and this is money that I desperately needed to pay off her debt that's what I thought I was doing was getting a grant to help pay off debt

What I'm experiencing now is guys will use dating apps to recruit females into buying bitcoin. Once you join the guy will help you earn a return on you initial investment. He will show you how to navigate bitcoin or the other currencies. So tacky and very desperate acting. I notice this with men of a particular race. I won't say it because I know they are all not like that. Just be careful and make sure you know what your investing in and how it works.
