Trapped Twice: My Devastating Experience with a Crypto Trading Scam
I never imagined I would fall victim to a cryptocurrency scam, let alone twice. As someone who has worked tirelessly for decades, saving every penny for my retirement and my grandchildren’s education, I believed investing in crypto was a step toward financial freedom. Instead, it has turned into my worst nightmare.
It all started with a seemingly legitimate trading platform called FX-Pro Coin. I was introduced to the platform through an agent named Daniel from Customer Service, who convinced me to invest. I was soon introduced to traders like Michael Lorenzo and Ethan Reid, who operated strictly through Telegram, offering tips and supposed insider knowledge about cryptocurrency markets. They guided me to trade on their website https://h5.fx-procoin.com. Everything seemed genuine at first, and I saw my investments grow significantly—until the deception unfolded.
I invested my entire life savings into this platform. Encouraged by their promises of high returns, I took out a $50,000 loan and another $38,250 from their peer-to-peer lending vendors to invest in a new coin, XTC, which initially skyrocketed in value. My portfolio reflected an impressive $1.74 million, and I thought I had secured my future.
Then, things took a dark turn. FX-Pro Coin announced a merger with GlobalX Coin, and suddenly, I was told I could not withdraw my funds unless I first repaid my loans in full. This critical condition was never disclosed when I signed the loan contract over Telegram. Worse still, they forced me to sell my XTC coins at a significantly lower market price, supposedly to clear my debts, yet they still refused to release my funds.
Now, they demand an additional $42,000 by next Friday, or they will erase my entire balance of $1.74 million.
I don’t have another $42,000, and I cannot borrow any more. Initially, they assured me I could repay my loan directly from my profits, but now they have gone back on their word. I have already taken money from family members, and I am on the brink of financial collapse. I am a 67-year-old retiree with a fixed income, and this scam has turned my dream of a secure retirement into a nightmare.
Legal Recourse and Immediate Actions
Filing a Fraud Complaint – I will file a formal complaint with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to document the fraudulent activities and seek regulatory intervention.
Engaging Law Enforcement – Since this scam involved cross-border transactions, I will report it to Interpol and local cybercrime units to initiate an investigation.
Freezing Accounts & Tracing Funds – A legal team can request a court order to freeze FX-Pro Coin’s accounts and trace the movement of stolen funds.
Initiating a Civil Lawsuit – If necessary, I will file a lawsuit against the platform and its operators for financial damages, fraud, and misrepresentation.
Alerting the Crypto Community – Raising awareness through crypto forums, social media, and financial regulatory bodies to warn others about this scam and prevent further victims.
I need urgent legal assistance to halt the FX-Pro Coin merger and recover my life savings before it’s too late. If there’s any way to stop this fraudulent merger and take legal action against these scammers, I need to know how much it will cost to pursue this in court.
This is my last plea before I lose everything. If you or someone you know has encountered a similar situation, please share this story to expose fraudulent crypto schemes and protect innocent investors.
