Hard lesson about the get-rich-quick scams

Any update? Did you try to seek legal support? I am in a similar situation myself with a different company right now.

OP hasn't updated in months and likely gone from forum...

Please share your story Pringles. You might save some other people from doing the same thing.

These type of people use VOIP numbers bought via false company documents. They may be located anywhere in the world, just using a Chinese number. These type of numbers are not traceable.

Most if not all BTC recovery firms are a scam. All crypto transactions are decentralized and untraceable. Also recovery is possible only if you are dealing with a legitimate, regulated company, and that also depends on the reason of the loss. There are several firms that deal with claims, in most extreme cases you can take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS, but even they can't assist with cases involving unregulated companies.

Best option is to stick with investment opportunities with local, regulated firms where you can see the actual information, and verify them with the national financial regulator.

Greed or stupidity. Probably a bit of both but mostly the former.

Sadly OP has not been on in a long time - hopefully he/she hasn't taken a turn for the worse...

adwallace · #**125** 03-30-2022

Nope - no news

Sad story honestly

dom03 · #**128** 03-31-2022

Just came across this thread, my heart hurts for this guy and for the many people who are victim to these scams, but this is life and it's hard reality. It will never end as long as humans exist.

Can I please request a moderator/admin who has the access to check if OP has logged into the forum at all since his last post? It's the least we can do as a community, please? It would be nice to know OP is well as NO amount of money is worth self-harm, life is worth living (poor or rich, or scammed).

For anyone else reading this it would be an eye opener, do some real due diligence and verification to ensure some form of legitimacy before trading or transferring large amounts of money with websites/platforms that are not globally well known.

Also, it would be foolish to think even reputable trading platforms/exchanges like binance/krakin/coinspot can be trusted, there is always a risk. Anyone remember Mt Gox "hack"?.... yep.

Even if they are legit, they can always have an inside job, or be compromised if there security is not strong, and there is NO SUCH THING as 100% security, not even the biggest world banks can promise they won't get hacked.

I believe this guy was using crypto as a form of currency to forex trade? if your getting into crypto and dealing with what you would consider large amounts of money to you, then for the love of god please educate yourself on cyber security, and safe crypto trading, and obviously get yourself a cold-storage personal cypto storage device to store your crypto.

Hope OP is OK and posts back, you can easily recover from this as others have said. Be stronger, be wiser, and work harder! life is precious.

It doesn't require a moderator to check.

If you clicked on his profile you'd see he was last online 28th July 2021.

LOL, I think that was established a long time ago, no need to aimlessly spam the forum with that little gem.

If you must post simply to get your count up (for whatever reason) try and keep it meaningful. This pointless spamming won't endear you to the owner/mods if your goal is to sell accounts on here.

As Hank is saying above, if you're trying to reach some sort of post target in order to offer services here / sell accounts then it really isn't needed.

Just PM the forum owner / submit the form, stating your case.

Posting a load of frivolous titbits on posts that are years old just p1sses folk off.
