Problem Withdrawal scam by btcusdt investment ltd

[The Punisher]

Hey guys,

Thank you all for sharing experiences, and I am sorry for all you have been through.

I am doing a research for a friend who is also a victim, same story: a Chinese girl he met on Tinder, who said that she lives in the UK...

Did anyone actually succeeded in getting their money/part of it back?

Reading comments about them at TrustPilot and someone mentioned a person that can help recover the funds. Is this a scam too?

I fail to understand how BTCUSDT can still have their website up and running after so many claims are submitted to the authorities.. None of them are taking the responsibility to actually do something and help preventing other victims falling into the trap..

My friend was actually hoping to save funds for his MS treatment through investing, he actually believed that the girl is Godsend to help him...

Thanks & Good luck everyone..

Most recovery companies are also scammers.

I got $700 back when I first wanted to test the withdrawal time. I know they will let you do this to gain your trust but after that when you want to withdraw real profit they do everything to convince you to reinvest. In the end if you keep insisting they drop you and just move on to the next victim and keep all of your money.

Thank you, is there anything he can do? Contacting FTC, ASIC, CFPB, CFTC, NFA, AFCA (as someone mentioned) is already on his list. He also contacted his bank. Has anyone tried contacting Moon Pay? I really hope that someone had succeeded with some sort of recovery.

P.S. Thanks FPA for everything you do!

If there's any connection to Hong Kong (such as a +852 dialing code or a claimed HK address or registration of any sort), definitely report them to the Hong Kong police and financial regulators. They've managed to recover quite a bit of cash from scammers.

Unfortunately Moonpay will not help...

Thank you, that’s positive. Yes, she is using HK numbers on what’s app (that she keeps on changing) all the time. Worried that her friend, “the broker”, has a copy of his driving licence (required to open the trading account) which has all his personal info, address, date of birth, etc.. Wonder if they can go and do further damage with stolen identity as taking bank loans etc. What a nightmare...

Many of the phone numbers from HK and Macao are web based numbers and not actual cell phone or land line phone numbers. Yes, they can use the identity to open other lines of credit therefore depending upon what country you are in, you should monitor your credit and signup up for a monitoring service if possible.

You can't change your date of birth, but it may be possible to change a driver's license number.

Definitely report to HK and to anywhere else this could be linked to. If bank wires were involved, the receiving bank's country needs to be informed (police AND regulators - both are slow, but the more you notify the more chances someone will trace the leads).

If you did report to HK, TW or SG. They are quick to respond. Even if you have report to SEC and HK SFC, they still will email you back.
A live person will answer you back through email.
