A lawyer can be expected to take even more money

- sad to say - worthless endeavour in this circumstance, agreed

I'll say it one more time. Your only chance, albeit slim, is law enforcement getting involved. Don't get your hopes up though.

The world is not rich enough to lose you before your time. Are you in debt? Facing bankruptcy? Rent arrears?

I will be happy to help you via PM. And no, I have no interest, desire or inclination to charge you anything. if Ive saved a life....thats compensation enough.

Hank · #93 07-13-2021

Fair play, if you genuinely meant that.

Some have unfairly remarked I had sinister motives.

My advice will differ dependent upon the geographical region, law differs in Scotland, N Ireland, England etc.

If you are in England you can only be legally declared bankrupt by a court decree, upon submission of a bakruptcy petition. A person CAN submit a petition for themselves to the court. Whether the petition is brought by yourself, or by a creditor (someone whom you owe money to) there is a critical caveat: two prequisite conditions must be met.

1) The debt must be equal to, or in excess of £5000
2) said debt must also be of a fixed nature. Basically, it must be any debt not related to legally accrued debts such as damages.

Upon successful accrediting of the bankruptcy petition, an insolvency practitioner (a trustee in sequestration) is appointed. They take control of all your assets (with limited exceptions, including work tools and items necessary for your employment). You maybe tempted to dispose of an asset (say, a house) for a nominal fee or for nothing to a friend or family member. DO NOT DO THIS.

Not only is this classed as a gratuitious alienation (wilful deprivation of capital) you will be still be held liable for the full market value of the asset. Say you have a home worth £120k. You sell it for £12k. The remaining £108k would still be owed, and you also face criminal penalties.

In practice, the bankruptcy will last for 12 months (the clock starts on the day the decree was issued). However, where the court is satisfied that all assets have been disposed of for as much as they can fetch, there are no further assets hidden away, the court has the discretion to quash the bankruptcy order earlier.

Once the official reciever is satisfied that the above has been achieved, the debtor will no longer be subject to the limitations mandated by the court.

WinstonFisk · #97 07-14-2021

It is vitally important that you obey any and all instructions issued by the official reciever. Remember that 12 month timeframe I mentioned? If it can be proven there was malfeasance at the behest of the debtor (wilful concealment of assets, deprivation of capital), the bankruptcy order can be extended to up to 15 years! This is by no means automatic, and will be entirely contingent upon the circumstances of the case, but antagonizing the court is most definitely NOT advisable.

100% correct.

Just reading your totally pointless and irrelevant 'copy-and-paste' posts about bankruptcy. When can we expect your scam link?

Where exactly have I copied and pasted? What content has been copied ad pasted?

And again, you baselessly accuse me trying to commit fraud. Without evidence i may add. That, is a legal doctrine we call in Scotland "defamation".

WinstonFisk · #**100** 07-15-2021

OP, you haven't replied. Can you please post in just to let us know you are ok please?

Few weeks have passed - OP hasn't been active on forum - probably best to let things be

WinstonFisk · #**102** 07-15-2021

I hope to god truly, OP is safe :(

ebaywanton · #**103** 07-20-2021

Assad, everything good? Please keep us updated, cant have one less brother on this forum.

The scam is a shocker, and even annoys me becasue of how its impacted your life.

Please just reply if you are still around, at least give us peace of mind that your head space is a little more positive.

And even if you dont have the will power to reply, then just start of with these;

1) Sit in the sun for a while (heatwave in the UK right now)
2) Keep hustling (ive seenm your threads and you seem like a hard hustler)
3) Speak to your family about the matter as they may be uunderstanding
4) And just keep smiling, even if this scam is making you think of the worst.

Remember, things can only get better from this moment for you

This is basically the same scam.

Special place in hell for these scammers.

Assad? Please say something.

I really hope you're okay. man. It would really suck to see the first "end of the rope" thread on here. :/

If he's topped himself I doubt his family will log on to inform us.

I pray that's not the case. I've just been reading up on some stats ... it's like 9 billion a year these scammers are making via crypto scams. Police can't do anything, banks can't do anything as their victims are FOMO (fear of missing out) themselves in to the scams by voluntarily transferring money in to binance and then sending it to these phake exchanges or buying meme doggie tokens where they get rug pulled.

The only way to combat these scams is educating the public.

If you're going to invest, buy an amount you can afford to lose. Buy from a reputable exchange. Move it to a ledger or trezor.

I would say just stick to Bitcoin or ETH. Don't even waste time with anything else.

True that - hopefully not

uzi9mm · #**109** 08-01-2021

I do not know how I ended up on this post, but this is a "shocker" to say the least.

Life is never easy, but these scammers are heartless.

I pray the OP is still around, lost for words myself, I can imagine the pain.

davidford · #**110** 08-26-2021

Feeling Sorry for you mate. There are some BTC recover firm, you can google about them but I am not sure if they are trustworthy or not as I never tried them. Still you can contact them and see the outcome mate.
