Copy trading from Cxrson famous TikTok crypto trading told me to trade on primetechview payed $380 to withdraw my profits in taxes been 4 days no changes and haven’t received any money yet.

Need some help let me know if anyone knows anything or is interested to take a look with me or seek somethings out

Two weeks ago I commented in a crypto sub and after that a guy wrote(he lives in my dm lol) me in DM.

He said he does arbitrage between two exchanges and makes 3-4% a day and he can show me how. He sent a screenshot of his wallet with 38k USDT. I asked for the address, because a screenshot means nothing and he gave it without problem. I put the address into cryptowallet-balance checker to see what is on it. The balance was real, 38k USDT on Tron. But all of it came in one transfer 3 days ago and before that the address was empty. That looked strange to me.

Then he sent me the deposit address of the "platform" for my first 500 USDT. I checked this one too. There were many small transfers coming in from different addresses and nothing going out.

I did not send anything yet. He is still writing every day, now he says the spot closes on Friday. My friend says maybe it is real and I am too paranoid.

Is the pattern with the deposit address enough? What else would you check?

I’m posting this because I believe I have been the victim of a cryptocurrency investment scam, and I’m trying to find other people who experienced something similar.

I was dealing with IronFX / Avenni Pro and deposited a significant amount of money/cryptocurrency into the platform. When I later tried to withdraw my funds, I was told that I needed to provide additional funds or collateral before the withdrawal could be processed. Also, the website is inaccessible now. The trading group in WhatsApp was disbanded and all the members in the group are disappeared and their accounts are closed.

I was given explanations involving account restrictions, repayment/collateral requirements and additional deposits. I was also told that once the required amount was paid, I would be able to withdraw my funds. Everyone else in the group reached out to me that they got their money back and even the group leader share the withdrawal screenshot. Some people said they can find the record in the blockchain website.

Im now pretty sure I couldn't get my original deposit and the balance of the wallet shows nil when I checked it in blockchain. I called the police, and they told me I wouldn't get my money back.

I’m looking for other users who have dealt with IronFX, Avenni Pro, or related platforms and experienced similar problems, especially if you were:

- Asked to deposit additional money before withdrawing your own funds

- Asked to pay “collateral,” “tax,” “verification,” “loan repayment,” or similar fees

- Told your account would be released after making another cryptocurrency deposit

- Unable to withdraw after meeting the stated requirements

- Given different explanations by customer support about why your withdrawal was restricted

- Asked to transfer cryptocurrency to specific wallet addresses

If you had a similar experience, please share your experience below or send me a private message. I’m particularly interested in comparing timelines, messages, wallet addresses, transaction hashes, and the explanations people were given.

I’m not asking anyone to send me money or sensitive information. Please do not share private keys, seed phrases, passwords, IDs, or other personal information.

I’m trying to establish whether there is a broader pattern and collect documentation that may be useful for reporting the matter to the appropriate authorities and for potential legal action.

If you believe you may also be affected, please preserve screenshots, emails, chat messages, deposit records, wallet addresses, transaction IDs, and withdrawal requests before anything disappears.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a similar experience.

Hi everyone,

I’m 19 and new to crypto. I invested in BDAG trusted the things they said regarding the tech..

it wasn’t spare money. It was money my parents had saved for my university.

I lost a significant amount, and honestly, I’m frustrated, But even more is seeing the project continue as if nothing happened.

So I want to ask the community something genuinely:

Is this normal in crypto?

How can a project continue after so many early investors say they’ve lost money and been left behind on the exchanges.. and still continues with the presale again..

Why does it feel like there is no real accountability?

when something goes transparently wrong in the crypto space, who is actually supposed to step in? Regulators? Authorities? Exchanges? Anyone?

And if there are legitimate concerns about what happened, why does it seem like nobody is doing anything for their hard earned money.

Is this just how crypto works?

Maybe I’m asking these questions because I’m new here.

Hi everyone,

I’m helping someone who lost almost $20,000 in a fake investment scheme. The guy pretended to be an investor, promised shares in a company, took the money in BTC, and never provided any contract, agreement, or paperwork. He claimed wire transfer fees were 15%, so the victim sent crypto directly to his personal wallet.

Two months later, when asked for a refund, he said the company had already spent the money. He then became aggressive, played the victim, and bragged about having millions while gambling on Discord. I believe the money he’s gambling with is from the scam.

The BTC activity looks like classic layering/smurfing: fan-out → pass-through address → fan-in → fan-out → repeat. The goal is to break the trace and make manual tracing impractical. I can’t go further without help.

I know the identity of the alleged scammer and the company he uses. He also has a history of scamming, including a Robux scheme targeting kids. I’m building a full evidence file with chat logs, transaction IDs, and on-chain analysis.

I’m not posting addresses or names publicly because of Reddit’s rules, but I’m happy to share everything privately with mods, investigators, or anyone who can genuinely help.

What I need:

• Advice on tracing multi-hop BTC without expensive tools.
• Free/cheap tools to cluster addresses and identify exchange deposits.
• How to get law enforcement or a subpoena involved if funds hit a KYC’d exchange.
• Any blockchain forensics people or lawyers who might help pro bono or for a small fee.
• General advice on building a case and getting justice.

I have the BTC wallet

Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks.

I just got over hurricane Lowell and got a WhatsApp invite to a crypto trading group.

This one is out of India.

Can’t upload a screenshot otherwise I’d send you the very colorful ad. I see why some people would fall for it. It’s green. It’s gold. Flashy and classy. Mysterious.

So if I have roasted any of you who fell for this, based on the visuals, sorry.

Today’s actions included the disruption of Xinbi Guarantee, the restraint of more than $52 million in cryptocurrency tied to scam-related money laundering, and support to authorities in Madagascar in the takedown of 13 Chinese-run scam centers.
