Topic: Xcryptie Scam. Is there anything we can do? (Read 165 times)

This is one of the worst story I have read related hyip. There is probably not to much to say at this point.


Yes! It's much better you show any info related... also because it's really hard (impossible?) catch these scammers!

Ahh! I am really feeling sad  , 90K Eur isn't small amount really. We can see this was a blatant PONZI scheme. That's the reason why we are not support any ponzi scheme. Sorry for your loss, but you should know about that before invest on this kind of website. For example, if you were asked this community before invest then I think 99% user were said "do not invest". I am hopeless that you will get return your fund, since they hide their identity. And I don't think its very easy task to find them.

Its the best weapon of these HYIP scammers. In every step they will hit our deep layer of mind and that's how they grow unrealistic return dream on investors mind. Investor only be aware of his losses after getting scammed only otherwise in every single second his mind push him to increase existing investment for maximum amount of profit.

Personally we have nothing more to do without giving advice's for taking a proper step against those scammers. It will be a wise decision to gather all strong evidence against them and submit a file to your local authority for legal actions. But its a matter of sorrow that most of these scammers use fake information for running their project and its kinda tough to trace them after being scammed. As i am seeing here that this projects owner using "WhoisGuard" and its a clear sign that he kept all his personal information hidden from visitors. Its also tough to guarantee that provided address details are valid. Although you can proceed with positive mind to get best results.

Thanks Harizen. I've submitted plenty of documents (signed and stamped by them, for what it's worth), invoices, payment confirmations and communication to substantiate the case, and would be happy to provide more. To give an example of their communication  - when my bro said he had no more money to "invest", xcryptie representative suggested he go rob a bank... And they claim to be "committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest ethical, professional and legal standards" (from https://xcryptie.com/anti-fraud-policy/ ). What a joke...
As to lack of common sense used, I could not agree more. I was shocked and in disbelief when I learned about it. I  have to admit, however, that these guys are masters at psychological manipulation, feeding off of peoples desperation.  Even when every cell in your body yells out a warning, your brain goes "but what if it's true..?". You really have to snap yourself out of it.
My last statement was simply to convey the fact that once you get burned with something you don't fully understand you no longer know who to trust.

Maybe the case wasn't progressing at all because of lack of genuine information.

No way a ponzi site will revealed their identity for an obvious reasons. That's suicide.

Why why why on earth your brother fall on that obvious scheme. Looks like common sense weren't used.

Well then about your last statement, what do you mean by "Scammed on every step"?

Thank you for your comments. So far I have reported this to Action Fraud in the UK, FBI IC3 (Internet Cyber Crime Center) as well as Econsumer.gov.

It is frustrating how many of these scam complaints I've found about this company now - mainly among Russian speaking audience - and yet the company keeps on defrauding people. These guys have actual bank accounts and actual registered companies (in Hong Kong, UK, Switzerland etc)...

We found a company that "specializes" in cyber financial fraud cases and we'll give it a try, but at this point I am extremely wary and expect to be scammed on every step.

Most of the details mentioned/you've seemed fake. As @SlowDeath suggested above, visit the legal authorities soon and maybe hire a lawyer. I feel sorry for your loss but your brother was literally using a website that has zero reputation.

you can try to report your case to the police and hire a lawyer so that he can give you his opinion on this case

My brother lost over 90,000 Eur to the scammers of Xcryptie.com.

It started well, with a few "successful" minor trades where my brother was able to withdraw a few thousand Eur, and continued to buy more BTC.

On a few occasions later he tried to withdraw money; all of these requests were met by the broker telling him that he sees a great trade opportunity to double/triple his funds. True to word, my brother's bitcoin account grew each time. Then there were times that additional funds were needed for new transactions, which my brother regularly provided.

At some point he had close quarter of a million Eur worth of bitcoins, at which time he was informed that he needs to withdraw his funds by a certain date. If not withdrawn, the funds will be seized by the company - reference was made to some regulations, but no documents were ever produced. At this point my brother had "invested" some 30K Eur into this scam, which he still was hoping to get back.

The catch, of course, was that according to some "EU Regulation" an account holder needed to put down a deposit of 14% of the value of the withdrawal. Again, no backing or documentation. (idiotic, I know)/

My brother yielded to all the pressure and intimidation - the pressure was intense, included insults and threats ( I heard recordings of phone conversations) and made the first payment of 32k Eur and was expecting the money to appear on his bank account. Then, "surprisingly", there was a change to the regulation that required another 9k, then more, and then more again.

By the time I learned about my brother's bitcoin psychosis - I can't call it anything else, seeing how incredibly and obviously fraudulent it is - he'd already sunk in another 60k.

Now, we can all agree that Xcryptie took advantage of my brother's naivete and his desperation. Our dad's been in chemo for months and it does take a significant toll on our finances. My bro rally wanted to come out a hero and a savior of our family, and now he's near suicidal for his actions.

I hope we can spare the "it's all his fault" narrative. What I want to do is a) flag Xcryptie as a fraud that they are, together with the names of people we dealt with (I'll add them below).

More importantly, since my family are very far from the cryptocurrency world - is there anything at all that we can do in this case? Of course the hope of getting our money back is non-existent, but are there aby organizations that we can report this activity to? Any course of action at all to bring these assholes to any kind of consequences.

People dealt with: Brian Blanchett (alleged CEO of Financial Department of Xcryptie), Stewe Collins (alleged Forensic Audit and Accountancy Manager
under FCA Financial Conduct Authority) and brokers Maksim Filatov,  Dmitri Ivanov, Sarah Wilson.
