EscrowMyXBT and Bitcoinclaim Fraudsters

I am now in total despair...every detail in this story, all the names, all the companies, the bank...everything is identical to what I've experienced since April. Except I was contacted by another person called Peter in April who cliamed Albert had succumbed to covid-19 and that was when I heard from Ivan at Banco Garantia that they were closing all accounts. He sent my life savings to XBTEscrow in bitcoin. I never managed to raise my original balance to the required 300,000euro for the bogus withdrawal limit, so my funds have been sitting in the account since April 2019.

Has anyone in this thread had any resolution? Or am I just to lose everything I've saved and swallow the bitter pill of an elaborate and very clever scam? I've just looked on an Anti-Phishing check site and it looks as though Bitcoinclaim.com are 'clean'. I would dearly love to know what others have found since this thread started
 
In July I was looking over scammers and forums in Peace Army and came across a reply to a person that was scammed by a Binary Option Company.
There was a reply to it from a Clara Peters and said she maybe able to help and let her email with them. Unfortunately I never Snipped that page and copied it.
I replied to Clara Peters and told her my story about how I was scammed by Titan Trade in 2015 of more then 52,000 usd.
She or He replied back to me and said a associate of hers can possibly help. A few days later a person Named Albert contacted me and ask me to send him my information in regards to the transactions, which I did.
A few days later he gave me the name of the Criminal who stole my funds.
He said he can help retrieve them with a fee of course which in turn cost aprox 12,000. a few days later said ok you need to set up a private account and directed me to do a wire transfer Barclays Bank to a Julia Clare Robson in Great Britain. 10,000 euro
Then a few days later I was contact by a bank manager Ivan Lienard and congratulated me on opening a account at Banco Garantia and if I contacted the head office they would not who I was because of they type of private account. as this was a favor done by Julia. this was late Sept.
I then received a Email with the Banco Accounts Dept by emailed me the opening to confirm the amount of 10,000 Euro to open account
I contacted Albert and let him know and a few days later It should I had additional 175,000 euro in account to a total of 185,000. Euro

The Manager informed me that this type of account requires a minimum of 200,000 Euro before any kind of transaction can take place. Again I put into account by BTC to make it to 200,000 requirement and I received email from the Manager and Banco Support I can now withdraw which he suggest I close account to have no additional banking fees. They had options on Transfers and I asked about Crytpo and I suddenly received a email saying account is close and Its in a Escrow Account called EscrowMyXBT which occurred Approx Nov 7. They informed me the sender (Banco Garantia )
Send my funds to them equivalent to 225,000 usd and I needed to confirm and accept as it was a 3 step confirmation process. 1 from sender 1 from me and 1 from Escrow. but they inform me now for them to do that I needed to send them 1.997 BTC or at that time 17,200usd.
They said not to worry at my BTC is pegged at eqivalent to 225,000 in cold storage and not to worry about influx of BTC said it is safe. When i was told it cost 17,200 usd for transaction I said I want it returned to the sender as this is ridiculous fees for simple transfer. They tried to talk me out of it and I told Ivan the Bank Manager I want it back into bank. He informed me he cant account is closed. And Escrow said they tried to send back but I was unsuccessful.
I felt I had no option but to pay the fee and waited for BTC to fall and thought it would make up the payment.
They support name was Sohpie
I paid the fee and EscrowMyXBT informed me it was sent and it would take up to 48hrs being such a large transaction. I waited and no Transaction showed up into my Address.
Ted with Tech informed it was stuck and it happens on a rare occasion but not to worry and they hired a company Called Bitcoin Claim.
a person name Jon contact me and said not to worry and it might not cost anything to find it.
They did this so call Deep search and Retrieve and a few days later said they found the problem and for then to retrieve it It will take a week and 2 BTC but I should hurry as the longer it is the harder to get it.
I refused to pay anymore without a Guarantees. A said I paid once for a fail service and broken contract and refuse to pay up front. Jon emails me back and said sorry we are a prepay service only.
Escrow said they would pay .5 BTC and I pay the rest. I said I will put my share in Trust or a Escrow to protect all parties to complete Transaction.
I have had no responses to my demands
this was Dec 16th.

Hi Truthseeker

Did you ever have any joy in your quest for justice? The exact details of your horrendous experience happened to me too
 
This account is almost identical to what happened to me . Same script, same names,same excuses and ‘advice’ . I ended losing a similar amount and genuinely believed my Btc were stuck and lost in the blockchain . It is only when I came across your post that I realised it was a clever scam . Can you update me whether you have had any success in recovering your money , please ?

Hi - did you ever resolve this? Identical names, companies, bank as my experience. I've just sent them all a scathing email ... for my benefit, I'm not expecting to see my life savings again

Good luck to you

Update.
I've just been contacted by someone called James from bitcoinclaim.org. He's trying to get me to send copies of passport, driving licence or other ID. His story is, my Bitcoin allegedly 'lost' in the Blockchain has been found but has morphed into NFTs! Just the most outrageous audacity - I thought I'd draw him out and replied I had no intention of sending my documents for him to steal my identity and con me out of money I don't have! He claimed his colleague Jon developed serious health issues, conveniently in the middle of the non existent retrieval process a year ago, which is why the website and all contact disappeared. Same with the escrow site. He's gone silent since I challenged him to send me his ID and company address so I could verify his credentials...he even accused me of impersonating myself because I wouldn't comply, despite the fact he'd contacted me, on my email!
There seems to be no depths to which these lowlife conmen will stoop.
So, be warned if anyone from Bitcoinclaim.org or xbtescrow or escrowmyxbt gets in touch. Looks like they've reactivated their original websites and are on the prowl again. I'm desperate to find some agency that will investigate, but even my MP here in the UK is powerless against international cyber fraud.
I hope everyone has managed to scrape by during this dreadful year and good luck for the future.
 
This Company is nothing but a scam.
They where supposed to send me my BTC to my address and they make that is was sent which I never received it.
they say it is not lost and was the blockchain all lies of course and hires a company bitcoinclaim.co to do a deep search and retrieval which there reasons of misplacement is all crap. I asked EscrowMyXBT many times to send me proof they did the transfer.
I have never received the proof.
These other reviews here are fake
They EscrowMyXBT charged me almost 2 BTC for transfer and lost a very large transaction. and now Bitcoinclaim wants to charge me another 2BTC for retrieval. I said I would pay after it was in account and they tell me its a pay before service I ask for guarantees which they never replied to. I said I would put fee in lawyers trust or Escrow to protect all parties they never got back to me. I am now exposing them to the authorities.
Is the website still active?
