I am based in Germany and I have become a victim of a Fake Investment fraud individual operating from Hong Kong.
I have full information that would enable police in Hong Kong to help recover my cryptocurrency funds.
Can you please help me further by deploying relevant law enforcement units in Hong Kong?
I can provide you with the following information:
1) Photos and video clips of the lady involved in this scam
2) The website used in this scam: https://task-jobs.com
The fake company is called “Shopf”
The lady that approached me is called Chen, based in Taipei, Taiwan, but the site uses Hong Kong line +852
Telephone number of the respective Customer Service: +852 5777 4259
Name given by scammer: Miss Chen, whatsapp ID: +852 6743 1991
3) The amount of USDT scammed in my case: 2000 USDT, scammed between 28.08.2023 to 06.09.2023
4) The Crypto address of the receiver: TPq5mT2iv4NQQ7ERr2AVW9eWB7uFmojxnY
5) Whatsapp chats with the scammer
6) The scammer’s approach and tactics and the scam aspect of the transaction: She promises internal investment in a fake “Amazon”, she promises high returns on investment, but she does not facilitate the withdrawal of money. The fake investment just runs online, money earned is deposited on victim’s account, but approval for withdrawal of deposited or earned funds is tactically blocked, once the deposited amount is attractive to the scammer and she realises that the victim is becoming suspicious. So they make it appear as if the system is working, but the aspect of the scam is that the victim is denied the possibility to withdraw his deposited or earned funds. She always wants the victim to keep on investing more funds but without the possibility to withdraw the money. On the dashboard they offer the withdrawal of funds but block it during the approval stage. They mean one has to invest more in order to be able to withdraw, but the “pending deposit” is a moving target. Once the current target is met, the system creates a new reason to block withdrawal of funds.
BINANCE knows this scam already and classifies it as “Fake Investment” promising high returns but not facilitating the withdrawal of funds. Therefore it is a scheme already known in the cryptocurrency exchange platforms.
It is important that you pursue this scammer before she can cause financial damage to many people in Hong Kong and abroad.
I have already notified the financial institutions being used to conduct this fraud.
Please let me know if you can help recover my funds, and put the culprits under police watch.
Thank you in advance.
