One day I was scrolling with my phone and I saw this post from a page on Facebook about Travel Booking Online Assistant job offer. I just quit my job this month due to my health problems that preventing me from work normally. So I grabbed this offer online because I also wanted to make an income while at home and taking care of my 3 kids to help my husband for our monthly expenses. I reached out to the person who posted the job offer on messenger and she interviewed me via chat message. After a minutes of interview I got hired and she told me to wait 1-2 hours because the HR of the company will contact me. Someone from WhatsApp did contacted me to explain about the job, name of the company and salaries. They couldn't give me any contract since the job is like a freelance. I started to work on her account doing reservation bookings online and at first I earned 30% commission from her but she told me to withdraw it using Bybit so I installed the app and at first everything works but then she told me to try to do it on my own account so I can also gain more aside the 30% commission. To do the reservation booking we have 35 task to complete and per 35 test there's this famous "Vacation Deal " they called and when it comes we need to put recharge money on our account so we can continue otherwise we will not be able to withdraw our money. I was told that there's only 1-5 "Vacation Deal" per 35 bookings and when I reached my 34th and about to finish, the 6th "Vacation Deal" came and the recharge of every "Vacation Deal" getting higher and higher to the point that you can't afford anymore. I cannot afford the last one and I just want to get my money back but then they always forced me to complete the deal which I am now unable to. They hold my money and don't want to give me back even if I already beg to give just all the money I put in their platform and don't care about the commissions anymore. I asked them to talk to the management but still they didn't care. It was my last money I put and I even took a loan hoping that I could complete the tasks and get all of my earnings. It's very difficult to track them down alone I need a professional assistance for this. I hope this site is the answer of my prayer. We are not rich all I just want is to have an income online for my family. I have their contact numbers on WhatsApp even their Costumer Service and they promised me too good to be true earnings. I tried to asked the members if this platform is really legit but they all keep saying yes but can't give me any legal proof that's why I find it suspicious. It was already too late when I find out online about this scam platform they already have my money. We can't buy food now and we can't even pay our apartment rent I put my family at stake and I really hate myself to the point that I just want to disappear in this world. Please help me I just want my money back !

BROOKLINE POLICE DEPARTMENT, MA - WALLET IDENTIFIED IN PIGBUTHERCHING SCAM. LIKELY ROMANCE SCAMMERS OUT OF EASTERN AFRICA.

It's a whatsapp group called wisdom tree investments 85 we do trades together on a site called m.bekxpro.com it looks very real I'm still having trouble believing it's fake. I made a real cash withdrawal before, I tried again and they froze my account for using a different wallet address and now they want me to deposit 1000usd to my account to unfreeze it but I'm skeptical to go any further. I have until September 24th or it's permanently frozen. I put about 1500usd into my account and I want it back.

This man pretends to be your lover and tells you he will help pay for your bills. In return he wants you to buy bitcoin and send it to his wallet.

This was a pig butchering scam, so therefore, they might be based overseas. I spoke to a man calling himself Carson, Chinese name 李子蒙. He told me he was going to allow me to invest and make a profit through a cryptocurrency platform through Coinbase. This man doesn’t know I’m on to him. I bought myself until the 20th (I told him that I will come into money then to pay the fake tax). Here are the screenshots of everything, including WhatsApp conversations where I’m expecting a return on the money, and the “customer service”. The platform is hosted in Coinbase, which is legit. First 3 screenshots: the bitcoin addresses to the scammers. The scammers claimed a new one was needed each time. The next screenshots are when “Carson” told me that he could help me invest and make a profit. And him pressuring me to “invest” more to make more profit. Some of it is in Chinese. The next screenshots demonstrate when the “customer service” refuses to release my funds because of “tax obligations.” I tried arguing with the customer service. These people all seem to be available 24/7. I then told “Carson” and he said it was normal. I have read about these schemes and I know that paying the tax will not release the funds. So I’ve been pretending that I’ll pay it but the funds won’t come until the 20th. But mainly, I was buying myself time for the government to hopefully recover my money. Final screenshots show the wallet, the platform, and various other financial things in there, including what a “trade” is like. There is also a screenshot of a withdrawal fund because “Carson” put some of his “funds” in too. I read online it’s fake. I was allowed to withdraw $40 before as a show of confidence.

Luke cheated victim to drop money to MAX ,BitoPro and then change it to ETH and then USDT. He asked the victim to do every step according to his directions and told the victim Sntrex was the best platform to make most money ,so the victim did it.

ACCOUNT RECOVERY FRAUD

There is a pig butchering scam utilizing web domain GPT4TAX.com (a fake mining and trading scheme) and Trust Wallet. Scammers seemingly coach their targets to use Trust Wallet as it's less complicated for the uninitiated user to get up and running. There are at least three addresses identified as suspicious due to fund flow associated with the victims. • 0x5d985ac432bb38452718356fcc7e3944b8b8cf9f • 0x8cda0ed38d8dd7abe985c0513693e8c404abde58 • 0xa6c65fe9df404c383311d79f85c01183139e63b6

Unfortunately, i became a victim of 2 crypto scams. Firstly, was scammed by www.geminiusdt.com and www.idcvip.fit , it is a scam crypto platform- I was scammed of 21,000 euros from them. Secondly, while trying twww.snooprecoup.comecovery agencies, i was approached by www.spotscambroker.com, wwww.blockstad.com to www.snooprecoup.com , which claimed to transfer 18,000USDT funds to my account on www.blockstad.com and stole 5300 euros from me as part of software tools fee, gas fee etc. All three websites are owned by a single entity and are scams.

I had two cases. Both contacted me via Tandem, built a relationship not talking about any investment, and only after a few weeks slaughtered the pig. They showed me luxurious life they live, and told about a part time job that provides good income. When I said I'm curious, they gave me their username and password to let me have a hands on experience and see how lucrative it is. Then I started investing myself. In both cases I got decent profits at the beginning, and when I invested more suddenly the money was locked, because of a bonus I was promised for a high investment, or a need to complete an order for goods that get more and more expensive. There was a point of realization in which I understood I'm getting scammed, then I tried to push them to give the money back. When I got to conclusion it is lost, I gave up and blocked them. It is important to me to spread the word so others can be aware. The website names were "Onbuy" and "Bitmartuk"

Since the end of September 2022, I do not know the exact day, a person who called herself Winnie Corinna, a sales representative working for brands such as Estevee Lauder, Christian Dior, got in touch. Her Linkedin profile was not at all clear, and changes in the job descriptions (at the beginning she put Honorary Director when she claimed to be 38 years old) and in another sales commercial. She claims to be Australian, living in France since 2012. She was married but her husband, who was a doctor died from COVID. She has studied, she says in Sydney, something to do with financial economics at a Sydney University. Her father is deceased and was in the military. His mother lives in Australia. She has sent me photos, supposedly from her childhood, and current ones. She has sent me a video, and on one occasion video called me, and appears to be the person in the photos. Although in some of them she is wearing excessive make-up, which makes it hard to see what her real face is. Possibly she uses a filter application to transform her face. She contacted me because she said she was interested in my IT technical profile. She commented that she was interested in opening in her company a new financial project based on blockchain, nothing related to the commercial brands she worked with. Her changing profile and vague answers, and nothing concrete, in principle did not make me trust much, I answered out of politeness. Thanks for the interest and little more. Eventually this woman contacted me again and gave me a phone number in France (+33 7453476 74) to contact by Whatsapp. I made the mistake of passing her mine. As a result of this contact with me (October 2), and established a few conversations in principle only work, to later, take confidence, and talk more about personal issues, in order to gain confidence. In this confidence, was to seduce me, and show everyday images of his life. I followed his conversations, until one day he showed me the platform with which he earned money, thanks to the information of an uncle of his who was the Investment Director of the City Bank. The platform allowed him to carry out short duration trading operations (1 to 5 minutes) and allowed him to have profits ranging from 20% to 45% of the invested amount. In the document, examples are shown, with the supposed operation of my account. The platform is called U8 Market and its Web is https://www.ueighty.vip I agreed to create an account on that platform, and do a traiding test, under her indications.  The amounts income were: 1.330€ (Ethereum), 5.000€, 10.000€, 15.000€, 20.000€ and 15.000€. My final therorical balance: 254000$. But it's imposible to withdrawl any amount. Customer service indicates that my account is suspected of money laundering. And if I want to withdraw money, I had to enter $25,000. The website and application no longer work.
