This is regarding a Bitcoin fraud which I got trapped in couple of months back. I got added in a whatsapp group called BTC Fortune group. There are around 80+ members in that group. Initially i did not understand whats going on there, and i was about to quit. May be it was my unfortune, I did’nt quit, and I started to observe whats happening there. To my curiosity, I understood that group was for some online trading, and it is based on the Bitcoin trading. I could see one Trade Analyst is leading the group, and he/she used to provide some instructions and all other members seemed to follow those trade instructions, and they posted the screenshots of the profits they are making. This used to happen every day. I am just a middle class person, and I used to have many financial obligations which slowly started thinking about understanding more on this. I just posted a message asking about the formal procedures about this. Then they gave me an Assistant number, and i contacted her. She used to send messages from a Hongkong based number, and she explained me about whole procedure. As a beginner, she helped me to start trading by just investing 100 USDT. The process required me to open an account in the Binance platform (which is a legitimate platform). I had to buy Bitcoin (USDT) for 100 USD in Binance. But, the catch here is, the trading that these people do (or pretends to do) is not happening in this legitimate platform. That happens in a different third party App called AGG Global (and recently they renamed it as TEX group). Any way, since it was just 100 USDT (around 8000+ INR), i just joined. Assistant helped me in doing the trades, and i gained some very minimal profit too. And she helped me to withdraw 125 USDT same day, and I got the money in my bank account. I was happy that, I did’nt had any loss, at the same time, I got some very minimal profit also. The second day also, I followed the same. This time, i did’nt withdraw. I thought of doing so, after making some better profits. Then i started losing. I again invested 200 USDT, and they gave some bonus as well to raise it to 1500 USDT. They had given me a one chance of 1 x1 support with a senior analyst, and it helped me to raise by balance to 7500 USDT. All went good. At that time, the assistant told me that, I cannot withdraw immediately, as I am provided with bonus and 1×1 support, I have to wait for 10 days. I was ok with that, as it was just a case of 10 days. During these days, I was doing the daily trade, and one particular day, a series of losses happened, as all their instructions were failed, and I lost a major bulk of my fund balance, it dropped down to 1100 USDT !!! Then my mental state was very much impacted, and some how i wanted to retain the lost money. Assistant told there is another scheme called profit plan, where the trades are 100% gauranteed and tehre will not be losses as it was lead by Sr. Analyst. But i had to raise the fund balance to 15000 USDT for joining that. I took loan for 6.5 lakhs and invested in this, and started trading with them. It has given me a huge profit of around 277000 USDT !!!!, but, at the end of that program i realised about the catch there. For withdrawing that, i need to pay 30% of the profit as commision, They had mentioned this in one of the contract document they shared. But, it was really misleading as they did not mentioned that the commision to be paid separately, out of the trading platform fund balance. I was in the understanding that, the commision can be directly paid from the Trading platform, and there lies the catch in this fraud. This comes to around 25500 USDT which comes to 2200000 INR !!!!!! Now they are pressurising me to tale loans, sell my house/properties etc. I blocked their contacts in wahtsapp, but still they are trying to reach me via another numbers. So, this seems to be a fraud activity, and I doubt even if i pay the commision, they are not going to unfreeze the withdrawal. Also, I doubt whether the figures that they show there in the App, are some fake numbers. How these kind of money doubling happens!!!!! ? So
