    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

Problem Withdrawal scam by btcusdt investment ltd

I am having an issue with a company
Hi,

just for information:
btcusdtbank.com support service are using the same mail adress as aibtcusdt.com

support@aibtcusdt.com

Both websites point on BTCUSDT INVESTMENT LIMITED
and are (almost) using same Logo. Guess this is no coincidence.
There is a company registered in UK with this name. Check out there: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/12913438

Maybe it helps!

Also maybe check ibmcapital.net/about_en.html
Not sure if there could be any connection or just a partly copied website. This site is spoiled as illegal!
They also registered for a Canadian business license and they do have an agent and phone number listed. Not sure if any of this is real or more fake information submitted to get a basic business license however see below.

Thank you for the useful information!

I checked the information you gave me and found that BTCUSDT is registered with the Canadian Center for Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis at a UK address.


I will post any new information as it becomes available.
 
Nice to meet you all.
I am Japanese.

I was solicited by a Taiwanese woman I met through a matching site to trade overseas forex and opened an account with BTCUSBT investment limited.
I was instructed to get support for depositing and withdrawing money from her account manager, Kate, via "LINE".

I started trading on December 3, 2020, with 300,000 yen ($2,900).
She acted as my analyst and gave me trading instructions. Then I deposited 1.2 million yen ($11,500) as she instructed me to add more margin to make a bigger profit. (At this point, my total deposit was about $14,000)

On December 8, she instructed me to ask Kate to tell me about the VIP system.
1 cumulative deposit: $3,000 -> 20% reduction in transaction fees
2 Cumulative deposit: $50,000 -> 40% reduction in transaction fees
3 Cumulative deposit: $10,000 -> 60% reduction in transaction fees
4 Cumulative deposit: $150,000 -> 80% reduction in transaction fees

She instructed me to aim for a cumulative deposit of $30,000, but since cash alone was not enough, I felt it was too risky and once refused the instruction. However, I ended up selling my other financial assets to make the deposit. This was a big mistake. (Total deposit amount: $30,722)

On December 23, I told Kate that I wanted to withdraw all funds ($133,968).
Kate told me that I had passed the withdrawal review and that I should pay 20.315% ($20,974) of my earnings ($103,246) as income tax within three business days. Kate also told me that once the taxes were paid, the requested funds would be deposited into my bank account in three business days.

I thought this instruction was very strange. I asked why it was not deducted from my earnings.
Kate replied that she could not process the payment because the funds had already been transferred to "Tokyo Collateral Co.
I also pointed out to Kate that the tax rate should be different from the Japanese tax rate.
Kate replied that she didn't know, as it was managed by "Tokyo Collateral Co.

I submitted a withdrawal request from the CRM center on the web on December 24 just to be sure, and I received an email from BTCUSDT informing me that the withdrawal request was completed.

On December 25, I borrowed the tax money from my parents and applied for payment to Kate. I made the transfer to my Japanese bank account as instructed. Within the same day, Kate replied that she had received the tax money and submitted it to the "Tokyo Collateral Co.

I was very skeptical about this company, so on December 28, I asked Kate to tell me when my money would arrive.

The next day, December 29, Kate reported back to me. The next day, on December 29th, I received a report from Kate saying that the transfer of funds to my bank account had failed due to suspicion of money laundering. She also told me that I had to pay 20% of the application amount, about $27,600, as protection money in order to transfer the funds. He told me that the money would be deposited into my bank account within the same day. However, I was told that if I left the funds unpaid after January 15, I would be charged 1.7% of the applied funds daily as a custody fee.

I felt this was obviously strange. However, I foolishly borrowed the protection money from a financial institution and paid it in installments on January 12 and January 13.
Then, four hours after I made the payment, my analyst girlfriend reported that she could not log into my account. I also tried to log in and it seemed that all accounts had been deleted.
Of course, Kate did not report any payment received that day.

Please let me know what I can do to help. I feel very shame for wasting my parents' money. I don't want to be another victim like me in the future.

Sincerely yours

Hi all, I'm Italian
I fell in the same scam

I'm in chat from December with a girl who say being Li Yanran (Ella for friends) from Hong Kong. After two weeks chatting she suggest me to invest in trading, with risk free because her uncle is a very good analyst, showing me her profits I have been convinced.
She instruct me how to Buy Usdt on Huobi and transfer on my account BTCUSDT Investment Limited.
Firstly I start to invest 5000 euro with high earning in few days. She push me to deposit more money for trade in the big market, otherwise I couldn't trade again. So I deposited 3000 euro more last week. Yesterday i started to have doubt and searching in internet. I found this forum. Therefore I asked to bank to withdraw my founds, obviously they told me to pay 15% of fees for withdraw.


Here is the what they reply:

"Dear customers, according to the withdrawal regulations of our platform, in order to prevent MT5 customers from laundering money. You can only transfer all funds. When your account is less than $50,000. You need to pay a 15% handling fee. When your account is higher than $50,000 USD. You need to pay a 10% handling fee. Please pay the handling fee. We will help you withdraw funds after receiving the payment. Thank you for your cooperation. In order to better serve customers. We upgraded WhatsApp customer service. Please add us. The phone number is +44 7909470442. Please add WhatsApp customer service for communication."

I reported the scam to the Action Fraud, suggested from FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and to the
United States Global Futures Association (NFA).

I know I lost my money, anyway if you can suggest something to help me, I will be grateful.

I hope this report can be useful or anybody else to prevent that kind of scams.

I attach the pictures that "she" sent me

Your mention was helpful.
I found two websites for BTCUSDT investment limited.

The websites I found
btcusdtbank.com/index.html

The website that Forxy mentioned
aibtcusdt.com

Maybe the BTCUSDT that scammed me is a fake company that scammed the real BTCUSDT ...

Hi @fade6
I am sincerely sorry that you have been scammed.
I think this is a similar case to the scam I got.

The first thing you should do is not pay any more money to them.
You should report them to your country's Securities and Exchange Commission as the pundits in this thread have advised you to do.I would consult Konstantin Mikov, a lawyer specializing in securities fraud, who FxMaster told me about.
