r/CryptoScams

Hi, I just joined here in an effort to try and get some help. I know VERY little about crypto btw, but my 17year old son just told me this morning he got 2k deposited into his etherum account. I asked from who? At first he said, '....i think it was from ishowspeed raffle? Then hours later he said it could have been a contest several months ago via Discord. Basically he doesnt know or remember and after trying to find some evidence/trace we still have nothing to show for where and why did he get this money. Then hours later my wife receives a message sent to her [work] email with the subject heading "Send it back". Within the email there was included 2x active URLs which had pics of our kids in it! The message was basically saying, ...'you are easy to find. we know who you are and we know who your kids are. the money was sent by mistake. send the money back and that will be that'. -Wow. So after getting some advice from trusted friends who have experience in Crypto wayyyy more then myself, the current advice is now --> send the money back to the orig account that sent the 2k. Then delete the wallet. End of story.

So my question is, should i do exactly that?

Do not work with him he is a big scammer
Be ware that’s his ig and his snap chat

DELTA GAINS WARNING — I LOST $85,000 CAD — PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING MONEY

I am posting this publicly because I want people researching Delta Gains to know about my experience before sending them money.

I sent a total of $85,000 CAD in connection with my Delta Gains account.

I was later shown that a withdrawal had been completed/processed, but I did not receive the withdrawal funds.

After this, I was asked to provide additional money described as being required for verification/AML/Source of Funds purposes before funds could be released. I refused to send additional money.

I have retained documentation relating to my experience, including payment records, emails, messages, screenshots and withdrawal information.

I am reporting what happened to the appropriate Canadian authorities and financial institutions.

If you are considering sending money to Delta Gains, stop and independently verify who you are dealing with first. Do not rely solely on account balances, trading-platform displays, emails, messages or assurances from people associated with an investment platform.

Contact your provincial securities regulator independently and verify whether the company and the individuals involved are properly registered.

If you have already sent money and are being asked to send more money to release or withdraw your funds, do not assume another payment will solve the problem. Preserve your evidence and contact your bank, securities regulator, police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

I am sharing this because I do not want another person to go through what I experienced.

If you have had dealings with Delta Gains, please preserve your records and report your own experience to the appropriate authorities.

I’m new to FeetFinder and have had multiple people approach me with weekly offers — two for $200/week and another for $700/week.

The people offering this money have told me I need to go through a “trust process” before everything is completed. The process involves communicating through several different platforms and involves Bitcoin/crypto.

I have already sent money as part of this process.

What’s confusing me is that I have also received actual checks, which I deposited through my bank, and the transactions initially went through. After that, I was still being told that I needed to complete the “trust process” and send money/Bitcoin as part of it.

This is starting to feel very suspicious, and I’m worried I may be dealing with a scam.

Has anyone on FeetFinder experienced something like this?

Has anyone had a buyer send actual checks and then require a Bitcoin “trust” or verification process?

Can a deposited check initially appear to go through and then later be reversed?

What should I do since I have already sent money and should I contact my bank immediately and explain the situation?

Should I report these accounts to FeetFinder?
Is this a known scam pattern?

I’m not posting usernames or personal information because I don't want to falsely accuse anyone. I’m just trying to understand what’s happening and figure out what I should do next.
I’m not sending any more money or Bitcoin until I know for certain that this is legitimate.

This girl randomly texted me and eventually went onto Telegram. She sent me 70k and then 50k and then "helped" me grow the money to 900,000. Now that I want to withdraw the money to Coinbase, they said I need to pay a 15% of the withdrawal amount as a deposit ($135,136,31). They gave me 7days to get this deposit and everyday after that is a 0.1% fee of my total balance. Should I not be scared and ignore the fee and just stop worrying about it? Is this a scam? Should I look at the funds I invested as a loss?

Hello,

Last Thursday I was a victim of a bitcoin scam.
They called my work impersonating the police and I went to a Coinhub machine and deposited 2,000 dollars.

I contacted Coinhub right after I realized what had happened and they said that the state i live in, for new users there is a 3 day security hold and the scammers don’t have the money. We’ve been emailing back and forth and they have stated there will be a refund of my money.

Im a little skeptical cause I’ve read everywhere that Crypto cant be refunded and it also states on Coinhubs website that they don’t do refunds. Am i an exception? I submitted a police report to them and they also had me sign a refund acceptance form that I had to get notarized. After submitting this form they said they’ve alerted their crypto relocation team and the fund will be transferred to my wallet in a week through USDT. Does this sound legit? Im just really not sure how all this works.

I want to warn everyone about BitUnix.
My account was fully suspended without any valid reason.
They marked my transaction as “high‑risk” without any legitimate justification — even though I correctly used my Passphrase/ShareKey, confirmed the withdrawal by email, verified it with my phone number via SMS code, and completed the Authenticator (2FA) verification.

All services were disabled — withdraw, deposit, transfer, and even access to basic features.
A countdown timer appeared, threatening permanent deletion of my account and all my funds if I didn’t “prove” myself.

They forced me to write a handwritten note with my UID, full name, date, and a statement saying I personally initiated the withdrawal.
I had to sign it and send a photo.
Even after that, they kept my account locked for 24 hours and didn’t apologize.

This is unacceptable behavior for any exchange.
Please be careful.
Do NOT trust BitUnix with your funds.

They make u top up to earn 1% or 10% of commissions.

I’ve been recently deprived of my saving because I trusted a person on insta saying he could trade for me on profit sharing basis. He had an old profile with over 15k likes so I trusted him. But what he did was absolute carnage. Took one swinger bet of 5 seconds with 100% of the capital.

I was wondering maybe he was in cahoots with the platform and probably got a share from the wiped funds. Can’t fathom why else would someone do that?

The crypto recovery firm pretending to represent The Law Firm Trust Bank is a total scam. Do not use these scammers.

I'm not the only one that has this going on , everyone I know that Invested is having the same problem.. is there anyone else out that feels like they've been scammed? If please share and comment .if this is the case then guys like Phil and others pumping aleta coin and other coins like ATQM, should be shutdown and everyone should know that it's a complete scam going on here ,will anything happen to these people probably not but if enough people find out we can eliminate this from continuing and stop boostyfi and Phil on telegram from stealing peoples money ..

A Georgia man was deported from Fiji to face charges of defrauding over 6,000 investors in a $165 million crypto Ponzi scheme that promised 25% monthly returns.

Prosecutors say he spent millions on personal expenses and fled after the FBI began investigating.

Hi, I just recently met someone who told about a way to trade/bet with crypto, using the website vaultradel.com. So I added some money, made some bets following their instructions. We won some money. When i tried to withdraw, the website told me i needed to pay like a 12% tax on what i had on the account. But i can't use the money I had on the account, to pay for that tax,it had to come from outside. So am I being scammed?

Is the above legit? A friend of mine has been involved with crypto trading with the above platform and refuses to acknowledge if they've been had or not

Thanks
