I have been warning readers for years about the dangers inherent in crypto investment. Even if you get the direction right, there is a high probability that your platform will steal your money, or someone pretending to be your platform.
Below is the story of a long-time reader that I only just learned about.
“Here is the meat of what happened. I had a lady who assisted me in setting all of this up. Here is my Vault info. I would bring up the vault, then click on “discover.” The vault was only and always accessed through my Apple iPad. The vault was an app called Trust Wallet. She helped me set it up. After clicking on it, I would click on Discover, and enter https://www.eutrandvs.com.
I used a different address for the first few months and then it would not work and she said it was a security issue with my network. The address of the site came up a network, eugeqrxd.top. My platform password, which I never gave to her, was 121976. Then that would take me to the vault. My account now shows US$ 982,569.958.
I put more than that in, close to $1 million. My computer guy who recommended me to the site said it was an invalid site and was really a website posing as a vault. That was when I got nervous as hell.
I tried to move all of my original funds out, and they just disappeared into the ozone, and my lady and customer service said it was hacked on the way to Coinbase because my network was insecure. This was the same network that I had moved all those funds to the vault. At the top of the game, I had about a million in my funds and about a million in "profits".
So, I told my lady I wanted her to move the funds at one time to Coinbase. It stayed, unmoved in the vault for 24 hours. Then customer service told me they could not move it out without me first paying 30% federal income tax, not to the IRS, but to an address that they would supply, then they would move it for me to Coinbase. They said since the vault was secret with no names, this was the only way they could be sure that taxes owed would be paid, which I knew was BS.
Any assistance you can suggest, I would run with. My hacker person says he can get the money, but, if it is in the USA, he has to have a subpoena from the Secret Service, and then he turns the money over to them, and then they eventually give it back to me. If it is out of the country, he can get it without them, but, he seems to think this is an ongoing scam, and there is always money there.
We shall see. I will let you know how things proceed. The Secret Service is the roadblock now. They just do not respond, even when I have names of the agents that supposedly work with crypto crimes.
If it keeps someone else from going through what I did and have been through, sure. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is, no matter what.
The biggest problem is getting the Secret Service to respond. Why they were ever put in charge of crypto crime is beyond me, and I was told if the victim does not lose at least one million dollars, they won't even respond to the claim, which I believe must be true.”
The lesson of all this? Avoid crypto at all lists unless you want to see your money disappear into the ozone.
