The scammer — or “host” — initiates contact with a target online via social media, a dating app, or by sending a “wrong number” text message.
Once hosts find a suitable target — the proverbial “pig” — they stay in constant contact to build a relationship.<br />
After earning the victim’s trust, the host encourages the victim to start cryptocurrency trading. The host will claim to have insider tips or family connections in the investment industry, and explain that massive returns are common.<br />
The host then encourages the victim to download an app — and offers to trade together, showing how easy it is to yield returns. However, it’s a fraudulent platform controlled by a gang of scammers. <br />
Once victims join the platform, the host simulates trades to make it look like they’re earning profits. The host may even encourage victims to withdraw some of their “gains” to build their confidence.<br />
Convinced that everything is bonafide, victims invest larger and larger sums of money. Over time, the host continues to manipulate victims (and the platform) to keep them investing. This step is known as “fattening the pig” before a proverbial slaughter.<br />
Later, when victims try to withdraw their money, the platform will claim there’s an issue with the account — or will inform them that they need to pay massive fees and taxes to get their cash. <br />
Eventually, the victim realizes the truth — and the fraudster (and platform) disappear. As all transactions happen on the blockchain, [removed by editor]ing the funds is almost impossible.

https://www.opkj-txn[removed by editor] is definitely a fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platform. After joining the platform, members are encouraged to deposit USDT ($20,000 to be included in the VIP Group) for trading BTC/USDT. Analyst advise and guide members in trading with extraordinary results (balances growing to hundreds of thousands of dollars – mine grew to nearly $800,000 in 3-weeks trading with 9-10 trades per day) over several weeks, when the member is informed, he must pay a 10% commission by withdrawing funds to the members independent crypto wallet. This is when the member finds out that they are required to deposit a 4.8% Gas Fee in order to withdraw funds, where the 4.8% Gas Fee applies to the entire balance, not just the commission amount, but the full balance. The members’ trading account is then frozen until the commission fees are paid. The trading group consists of about 60 members all that mostly are texting everything is great and you just need to deposit the 4.8% and everything is good. In my case, the 4.8% Gas Fee amounts to almost $40,000, so I'm very skeptical.<br />
I Googled "is https opkj-txn[removed by editor] a legit website" and found<br />
https://www.cryptolegal.uk/list-of-reported-scam-companies-part-2/<br />
https://www.scamadviser[removed by editor]/check-website/opkj-txn[removed by editor]<br />
https://www.scamdoc[removed by editor]/view/1873676<br />
all of which reinforces my concerns about https://www.opkj-txn[removed by editor] being a fraudulent scamming cryptocurrency platform-organization.<br />
I have since been in contact with Customer Support at both of my crypto wallets. The following are both conversations that I had with live agents at CoinBase and MetaMask:<br />
Support at CoinBase[removed by editor] says this: “https://www.opkj-txn[removed by editor] – This is not a genuine crypto trading platform. You should immediately stop all activities and block all contact with them.”<br />
Support at MetaMask[removed by editor] is even more blunt: “The platform, https://www.opkj-txn[removed by editor], you sent funds to is run by scammers. Your balance on their website is fake and does not represent any real value. Any funds you have sent to them should be considered stolen. You should cease all contact with anyone related to the platform, including anyone who introduced you to it. DO NOT send money to pre-pay gas fees or taxes or unlock your funds; this is part of the scam and an attempt to steal more of your money.”<br />
The questions are now: What to do now and how to do it, or just reporting this criminal organization (https://www.opkj-txn[removed by editor]) here is all that can be done ?

Platform draws a cryptocurrency investor into the platform. Some initial profits are made and then the administrator insists that additional funds are deposited to continue. When funds are not added, the existing funds are frozen and the investor can't withdraw them

The website https://falcoinew[removed by editor] is operated by a criminal organization that commits securities fraud in the form of phony cryptocurrency coin trading schemes. In particular, the operators of this site use the following crypto coins: EEV, YIB, BFO, PIU and other coins to simulate chart performances. The criminal operators of this site provide trading signals for these phony coins which normally leads to phony profits. However, the profits have no real value because when an account holder, the victim, tries to make a withdrawal, the funds are frozen. Another part of the scam is the operators of the website demand 10% commissions for all profits from trading signals. While it appears, the victim is accumulating some profits, the website manages to erase profits with manipulations generally called stop calls. There are discussion groups that I suspect are all part of the scam because in every case the discussion group members are raving about their profits and encouraging the unsuspecting victim to add more and more funds to their account. The operators perform phony manipulative attacks on crypto coins of little value, for example EEV and PIU, claiming 500% - 600% and even more phony profits; however, the catch is that every participant must have at least $20,000 deposited in their trading account. Luckily, I didn't fall for that part of the scam as I was mostly curious about how cryptocurrency futures trading was conducted, but even with the $4,000 I committed to this fraudulent scam, they managed to erase all my funds, or freeze the $1009 remaining on my account. The scammers are currently demanding that I pay $518 commission fees on nonexistent phony profits with no actual value.<br />
I have now researched some of the crypto coins used in this fraudulent securities manipulation, and I list them here for additional information:<br />

This platform claims to be part of Airbnb's marketing division and even state that the real Airbnb Ceo's name, Brian Chesky, as their boss and CEO along with a corporation address in San Francisco. They recruit people for part time work at home to view Airbnb properties and submit an observation to enhance the exposure. They offer a salary schedule of $100 after 2 days of work, $800 after 5 days of work, $1,500 after 15 days of work, and $3,800 after 30 days of work plus some commissions for each of the Airbnb properties viewed and submitted within the platform. You will be assigned an agent or trainer that introduces you to the platform and guides you thru some training and linking the platform to your own external cryptocurrency wallet. You are enticed to a training session of no more than 10-15 minutes with a reward of $50-$200. I actually received $55 for 5 minutes training and was told to withdraw all in the external wallet. You learn that the job requires one to complete a group of 2-3 sets of tasks, each with 30 views and submissions of Airbnb properties from all over the world for each day's work. At the start of each set of 30 views, you must transfer from your external wallet at least $101 as a reset for the next set of tasks. On the second day, the salary of $100 is deposited into your working account and then boom, you find out what a combination order is. A combination order freezes all funds in your working account until you transfer money for your external wallet to unfreeze the account, but it's explained that you're really lucky to encounter these combo orders because your commission for viewing each Airbnb property increases by 5. Ok, the combo orders are not so big $50-$100 and you think I'll get that $800 salary on the 5th day of work. What happens on the 5th day of work is the $800 salary is deposited into your account and you encounter the 1st combo order $500+, so to unfreeze your account you must transfer $500+, and note that no funds can be withdrawn until all 30 tasks are complete. You talk to your agent, and they assure you that you are very luck and it's common to have 1-2 combo orders during a set of tasks. You unfreeze your account and a few tasks later boom, another combo order, this one for $1,500+. Your account is frozen at $1,700 and you agent again assures you that it normal and you're very lucky so you transfer $1,500+ to unfreeze your account. A few tasks later boom, another combo order, this one for $5,000+. Your agent tells you that this occurrence is very rare as few people have that kind of luck. Your frozen account shows about $5,000, salary, commissions, and your two combo orders, so you pony up another $5,000+ to unfreeze your account cause your agent says it a done deal now, that's it impossible to get another combo order and you'll be able to withdraw all funds in the account when you finish the 30 tasks of the set. You guessed it, then on the last task of the set, boom, you encounter the impossible 4th combo order, and this one is for $15,000+. Your stomach turns over and hits the floor! Your agent tells you that all you need to do is pay the $15,000+ and all the funds can be withdrawn. You have deposited $22,000+ to earn an $800 salary plus commissions. You contact the Airbnb security division, and they know nothing about platform, and then you find out the platform website was registered 3 months ago.
