I was contacted by them saying they had locked funds of mine they could [removed by editor] and referred to FATF as validation saying IO had to pay funds to them to unlock my account.
FATF confirmed directly to me that they had never heard of that person and did not work in that area of business and it was simply a scam.
This is complete fraud and a scam. It has been reported to numerous agencies now including the FBI.
Everything they provide is false, including a copy of the one persons drivers license which turned out to be some innocent person whose license they got hold of.<br />
They worked with a crowd working as Saferock and the one name was William Klin who use dthe license of someone else and who would simply not do a video call. Other person called himself Klause Pulcra as per the ID he sent me.
They work with fund [removed by editor]y companies who are simply out to scam money from you. Very little is put in writing and they talk about things that make no sense to anyone, even crypto experts I spoke to.
They wanted $5k from me to release [removed by editor]ed funds which were held up "due to a lack of extension on the wallet" and this was because it was a hash and not a wallet. Made no sense to the experts even.<br />
Simply do not believe anything they say.
Do not trust them at all.
I was contacted by a Sam King who worked for them saying they could [removed by editor] funds I had lost.
First warning sign was they had to use AnyDesk and then got upset when I made it View Only. From there I was told that my own valid, and verified, wallet was not right and I had to open one of the ones they showed on their website, including Atomic. Main difference is they all have similar security protocols and all accept Tokens, unlike my own valid and safe one.<br />
It all ended when I wanted to close AnyDesk before setting up a new wallet on Atomic and it then turned nasty and abusive. I know from past dealings with others that they can easily hack your Atomic wallet, if they do it right using AnyDesk and as confirmed by Atomic themselves, and also that they would then probably set up a Token-based balance (which looks good as regards the crypto balance goes but is worthless as regards market value) and try to get me to pay real money in which they would probably take and convert to a Token transaction, thereby leaving me out of pocked with a very large, but worthless, balance. I have seen this before and it is a common way of defrauding people.<br />
It did not get to the end stage here, but I think this was solely because I would not follow their instructions as I knew it would leave my account compromised.<br />
