I was contacted by Peter Berkeley on Aug 29th who reached out to me with interest In purchasing a single family home in the Nashville real estate market that I work in as a Realtor. We began a friendly conversation that turned into a romance. I’m an investor in real estate and I was enticed by crypto trading with potential to make large profits. I ended up falling for his scheme and sent in the money in hopes of making trades to double my money. As of Tuesday, Oct. 15th, I attempted to move my funds from zipcoinexfum.com into Coinbase and received a message from the website’s service dept. that I would be required to deposit 10% from an external wallet in order to authorize this transfer because it was a large withdrawal. I have until Tuesday, Oct. 22nd to deposit $216,903.37 USD in order to have this sent to my Coinbase account with the other $2,169,033.69 USDC. As of this moment, I am still in constant communication with Peter. He has no idea that I know he is holding my funds in his wallets. I am going to keep acting like I am getting the money to deposit from a friend. Please HELP! I beg of you. I will make it my life’s calling to bring these people down and help the fight against these criminals. Thank you for what you’re doing!

They got a hold of my family member and promised trade profits with a 15% of profits. Trades turned profitable and my brother told me he made a small withdrawal. Once payments cleared he looped me in. I invested and they placed a lot of effot and communication to build relationshiops and have a chat with tons of numbers. My brother even messaged a random local number that claims they have been using them for months with no issues. At this time there were no negative reviews. Once we placed a withdrawal they claimed the lot fee was low and the payment is stuck in congestion and gave a random gmail email claiming this is erc20 support. They provided a wallet address and claimed it was the miner who needs $5000 to push the payments through.

Initiated contact on Facebook under this profile: https://www.facebook.com/reynayadira.escandonmarta Then moved to whatsapp. Once enough money was loaded on their page they cut all means of communication.

I joined a Facebook group "Financial Independence Forum". In that group you are encouraged to work with a Wells Fargo Investor Tom Sheldon Haley. He will teach you how to invest. Once you are in contact with him, he walks you through investing in a site called https://tradepropel.com. Back then, I could not find any bad reviews or complaints about the site. Now you can find many complaints and warnings. Once invested, at first you can remove your funds, but later you cannot without paying a hefty tax. At first the contact was through the FB group, then messenger than WhatsApp. It looks to me that the site has been taken down in the last couple of weeks. I was not able to upload all the information I have available. My one report seems to be too large. If I am contacted, perhaps there is a way for me to provide this information.

This website is 100% fake and led by Facebook private group owner Ces Kruger, Charlie Peckman. group name is profit pathfinders https://m.facebook.com/groups/416310919110938/

Was contacted 2 months prior to transactions by a person claiming to be a woman. Developed a relationship with her that seemed to be romantic. We had video chats briefly. She said she wanted to help me to invest, claiming that she has an uncle that knows when xau gold stock deals are made so she can use crypto to purchase gold with low risk, short term investment. We invested a small amount and the money was returned. leading me to believe I could trust her. I then invested larger sum with the promise the money could be withdrew from the Wirm site. Up on attempting to withdrew $8000 to pay monthly expense, customer service of the site informed me that my account is frozen due to ID verification and demand $8000 payment otherwise, account frozen after 7 days and will report to the proper authorities. I tracked one of my investments for 0.386 BTC to the following Binance wallet bc1qm34lsc65zpw79lxes69zkqmk6ee3ewf0j77s3h. The 0.386BTC goes thru the above 2 wallets before transferred to Binance 4 wallet. The site https://www.wirmholex.com appears to use wormhole log an actual legit platform.

Around 9/16, I started talking to a Chinese guy "Z" on Hinge which transitioned to texting over phone, then WhatsApp. He said his name was Zarid/Junqi Zhang. He claimed to work at Deloitte as a consultant and that he owns a house in Rainer Beach Seattle. He engaged me for 2 weeks love bombing and encouraging me to invest in crypto through the Strike and DeFi Wallet apps. When I didn't comply with larger amounts of money, he turned cruel and he threatened to leak private conversations and photos to my company and all of my contacts to ruin my life. This is classic pig butchering scam. He contacted me on 2 phone numbers: 646-320-8373 and 917-432-4948.

I was trading on Mercatox platform based in London. Once I earn some profit, I decided to withdraw which Mercatox threatens me with 3 difference fee otherwise my account will be frozen and the fund will be confiscated by the government. The first fee was a security fee of $300k, and the second was capital gain taxes fee of $600k to be pay directly to the IRS. I paid for both and requested a proof of payment to the IRS which they refused to provide one. Instead they ask for an audit fee of 1.4 M which I refuse to pay. I have traded on many platform and never experience like this. Please assist me in resolving this matter.
