• Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.

    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    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.

    More info coming soon.

Problem DeCurret Pro (www.decurretpro.com or www.h5.decurretpro.com)

I am having an issue with a company
I'm really sorry that you are going through this, too. I had no idea where to turn either. Do what I did and go to https://www.globalantiscam.org/

Use their chat box and they will tell you all of the people to report to and how to get some of the needed details for your reports. Please explore their site as it will provide a lot of information and you will also see that you are certainly not alone.

I can't say if you and I got the same person because you are not talking to just one person, you are talking to a whole team working together to talk to you, but if the site is the same then it's at least the same ring. I'm really sorry it happened to you... Please stay strong and take things day by day.

I am spending each day getting out my reports and getting my bank statements together. I exported my WhatsApp conversations into a folder to submit. I took screenshots of the chats in customer service. It may not look like it but if you keep scrolling up in the chat (even when opening a new chat). Scrolling up loaded the past conversations for me so I was able to save the whole conversation I had with them.

Also, don't let on that you know you are being scammed. Don't pay the tax! It's like The Punisher said, it's just another way to squeeze more money out of you. When you go to file your taxes, make sure to get help from a CPA or tax place that knows how to help file for casualty & theft loss.

I hope this helps! Hang in there!
Thank you so much! I feel so hopeless in this situation and just angry and sad about the situation. I will look at this site you provided and provide the screenshots I’ve taken too.

Did you have to start paying loans or were you able to get that handled through the loan company letting them know you’ve been scammed? Mine start soon and I’m so worried because I don’t have money now to pay it off.

For the WhatsApp, I’ll definitely export the chat history, thank you for that advice! I won’t let them know I’m aware of their scam, but when did they stop talking to you? Did you confront them or did you just eventually block them? What’s the best way to handle this since they’re still talking to me daily?
 
I’m based in the US.
If you took the loan from a bank or financial institution in the US, you need to file a reoort as fraud immediately. Once you submit the IC3, you can use a copy of it to show the institution where you took the loan.

I don't want to tell you how to handle your finances, but for me, I started paying back my loans. You can tell them what happened, but I'm not sure that it will make a difference to the loan companies. I'm just hoping that my taxes will somehow give me some relief by reporting this.

When I didn't let on that I knew about the scam, my scammer talked to me until they felt there was no more money left to gain from me. They actually made that last day Valentine's Day. They probably thought they were so funny and clever to do it that day, but I already knew what they had done long before they stopped talking to me at that point. Furthermore, the longer they spent talking to me, I told myself it was at least one less person they were focusing on to become their next victim. I always just talked about how I was trying to find a way to get the money for that "tax". Talk to the live chat at global anti scam org. They might have ideas about this for you. Tell them that the scammer is still talking to you and they may be able to provide a little advice about it. They are a great support over there!

Most importantly, keep working at those reports to file. The more reports the authorities have, the more attention this issue grabs. You can do this. Take it one day at a time. Make a list if you need to so you know all the places you need to reach out to and have done so with.

You can do this. Let's fight the fight.

In the US you can file this as a ponzi scheme fraud or a commercial loss on your taxes. There is a CAP firm out of NYC that many US victims have used and its called Dimov CAP. www.dimovtax.com I recommend to contact them to discuss your taxes.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I am also in the same situation, in my case, I lost 50K USD (this is the borrowed money) in to cen-tiger.com broker last December 2021. After emotional stage, I tried to got out of that asap and moving on. I reported to IC3 and kept all the proofs, transaction documents...
I started to pay my loan every month and start with minimum payment first. At least we can keep the job and still earn money to have food, then use our energy to find the way to earn more money to pay back. That what I think at this moment. I for sure still crying but not everyday anymore.
You're not alone so be strong and fight together. I know my words not helping but I would like to encourage you to move on...

Thank you for sharing, Alexl. Every person that comes forward about this happening helps. The more people that report, the more awareness we bring to the situtation. I still cry, too, but we take things one day at a time. My credit better be amazing by the time I pay off these loans many years later.
 
I just wanted to thank everyone on this thread. This was how I was able to discover I was being scammed and get out before it went any further. The website I was using, for reference, is decurretbit.com and the scammer initially contacted me via text message as a 'wrong' number and then suggested using Telegram instead.
Anyone who sees this and has been doing "short term options bitcoin trading" and making great profits, you are being scammed!
Unfortunately for me, for some reason Google didn't surface this forum/thread when I was doing my initial attempts to find out whether or not Decurret was legit, and it is a real company, just not the site I was using.

I was able to complete a test withdrawal early in the scam, so I would recommend trying to pull out a series of small amounts and playing along with the scam until they catch on (perhaps tell the scammers you need money temporarily to pay back what you borrowed so you can get more). No guarantee it will work, but you may be able to recover a small amount of your funds that way until they catch on. I made the mistake of trying to pull everything out at once as soon as I read this thread. I reported it to the FBI, and will be filing reports with the other agencies today/tomorrow.

Hopefully this will help someone out so they don't fall for the same trick as I did.
