Is there anyway of tracking these *******s ? Can I track them via WhatsApp or track there number or anything ?

You realistically lost 65k, your original investment. Loads of people lose more than that gambling for example.

You made a stupid investment, you will make it back in time. But if you do something silly for the sake of 65k ask yourself is it really worth it ? it's just money that can be earned again, the same way you did it initially.

Whatever you do, do not transfer an additional 20k to these lot to supposedly have your money released. No exchange asks for more money to be bank transferred to them to get funds you already have with them. They should take their cut out of the existing balance.

That's a list of suspicious websites / phake exchanges pretending to be associated with the genuine hong kong stock exchange.

You might want to contact them so they can investigate the site you used.

maybe drug dealers made them disappear

Who persuaded you to invest in this exchange ? was it a trader ? if it was that guy probably gets a kick back from this scam. They let you withdraw a small amount, he baited you in to putting more and more of your money in to this "exchange" and now to withdraw they're just getting you to give them more and more. They will never release your money. They must be doing this to hundreds, if not thousands of people.

All of these instagram / youtube "traders" are dodgy scammers, the lot of em.

That doesn't make any sense to me. And this whole situation seems so unrealistic it's hard to believe.

Basically I invest 65k into the trading and that Doubled and then I come to withdraw that they asked for 20% tax when I paid that they asked for 10% security deposit this all added fo 145300

Did you do the trading yourself? Or was it an auto-robot-type of program?

65 X 2 is 130. 20% of that is 26.

Some of your numbers don't add up. In another post you mention USD too....

This scam site James linked to looks like a clone of the site you sent your money to, assad : https://hkex.7nr4f0.cn/

I'd say your money is gone at this point. Sure you can track a whatsapp number to an extent but it's not going to get you anywhere.

Oh dear, that looks pretty much identical.

You have most definitely been done by them. Do not send a single penny more. They are now trying to milk you dry.

The Story of the Chinese Farmer

Once upon a time, there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbours came around to commiserate.
They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.”
The farmer said, “Maybe.”

The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!”

The farmer again said, “Maybe.”

The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg.
The neighbours then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” and the farmer responded, “Maybe.”

The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. Again all the neighbours came around and said, “Isn’t that great!”

Again, he said, “Maybe.”

The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad — because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune.

Doubt they will do anything with that. It's all part of social engineering to come across as legitimate. They let you make small withdrawals too and now have you by the bollocks.

A major lesson in life if it's too good to be true it probably is.

A freind of mine is a hacker of some sort and has this app where he can pinpoint track you from your number I am going to speak to him If i can track these *******s and i will fly over where ever they are and deal with it myself seem abit unrealistic but I just wish I can track them

He won’t be able to do that via WhatsApp.

If it’s done via pinging off cellular towers that is possible but he would need access to some pretty cutting edge tech which are standard hackers just won’t have so whatever you do make sure you don’t give him any money.

james_112233 · #64 06-28-2021

Let's be honest even if you pinpoint them you won't do anything. It's a full team of sophisticated thieves working as part of a network. Not one fat guy living with his parents.

Seems like the bitcoin scams done by ppl on social dating media too these days - hopefully they don't have your bank info along with the personal details
