Crypto Scam Report

Ive invested money with this company for the last 4 months. They mine bitcoin and promise returns of a certain % after a set hour period for eg. 48hrs , 96hrs etc. After being added to a whatsapp group and following peoples posts and seeing screen shots of their payouts being approved and also coming into contact with one of the admins , I decided to invest $68 and see how it goes. After about 10 days I made a withdrawal of the minimum $30 allowed and received payment with no hassle and all seemed good so I decided to invest more. As a networker I decided to make some more inquiries as to how the best way forward will be and what all the rules and regulations are. I contacted Amos Miller on whatsapp which was the administrator and also the trader for Cryptohallmark , to find out more. As we chatted he only made clear that one can not have two accounts registered in your name, which was fine by me as it would be to many to manage anyway. As we got familiar with each other , he then offered me the Representative position for South Africa where if I recruit 10 minimum people to the platform , they would increase my commission for referral from 3% to 8% and also pay me $200 bonus . This seemed okay and I was keen to make some extra cash on the side. Amos also told me that once my account reaches $2000 , that they would invite me to their private Telegram channel where I could participate in trading. This was good for me because Ive been wanting to enter the trading market for a while. It was suggested by Amos that I compound my investment earnings after the maturity period as this would get me to $2000 quicker, which is what Ive been doing anyway. At the end of April 2020 I wanted to make a withdrawal , due to the Covid-19 saga I needed to access some of my investment to pay for rent and some small expenses. After making the withdrawal request I was told by on line support that I needed to make a 30% Reinvestment fee of the total sum of my investment before I can access my funds. According to the company if any investment exceed 336 hours or 14 days, this is considered a long term investment. This came as a shock to me , no where on their website or in any chats , whatsapp or telegram has this ever been mentioned. After contacting Amos Miller , he informed me that such is the policy of the company. My first question to him was why he never told me about this so one could plan, only to be told that they only make this known at the time of the withdrawal request. I didnt have the funds available at the time as I made more deposits into my account. One of my friends that joined with me also compounded his investment with the same strategy and plan I had. He proceeded to make his 30% Reinvestment as he had funds to do so. He then proceeded to make the withdrawal request and it was approved. After waiting for approval he received an email saying his request has been approved and is pending payout. Nothing happened and no funds were received to his bitcoin wallet. He the made a query regarding this and was told that his funds can only be sent after his up line, ME, makes the deposit on my account as theyve investigated and found that I ran multiple accounts. I then contacted him asking how this claim can be made ? Amos told me that they traced from my IP address that Ive accessed more than one account. I proceeded to explain that I helped 3 of my people to deposit bitcoin and helped them compound their investment as I did mine. All of the accounts was funded from different registered bitcoin wallets , with legal exchanges such as Luno.com of which KYC is required. All the accounts have also been registered with different emails that belongs to each person individually. I was told that the management regard all accounts under me to be my own accounts and that all accounts are frozen until I make my deposit of the reinvestment fee, as they feel that I went against company policy. It is no where stated on the website or ever been any training done on the rules of access of accounts etc. I mean if you married and have 1 laptop or PC , why cant the husband and wifes accounts not be accessed from that, clearly stupid to me unless so specified clearly. All of the conversations I had asked in detail what the requirements was and we were told that once I make the deposits we can proceed to make the request for withdrawal and we will receive our funds. When all of this was done we still didnt get any payouts, we were told that we still need to pay an additional 10% withdrawal fee before funds will be payed out. Cool so we did exactly that as been instructed, and also to note that all of these requirements are only being said after we start asking questions . When all was said and done we still not getting any monies payed out to us. Amos then told me after many ask and why we not getting our investments payed out , he then stated that all persons linked to me must pay reinvestment and withdrawal fees so that all payouts can be approved at the same time. Well so many red flags had already gone up in this time and it was clear that we have been scammed. To add to all this and for the record , a friend of mine lives in the States and she did everything from opening her account , depositing and creating a portfolio completely without any of my assistance or me having to access her account from PC. This too was said that she can not withdraw due to compliance . No really man if you can lie about all this and make accusations then at least have the balls to be a man . We have been told as well that an extra 5% penalty will be added after 30 days of non compliance. If we do not pay all the account requirements in full after a certain period of which we were told is 7 days the accounts will all be forfeit. Ive asked some questions on the telegram group about the reinvestment and withdrawal fees and was blocked from sending messages on the group. I have records of all chats and screen shots of the website and conversations of all communication. Amos Miller has a registered mobile number +234 905 443 1902 which is in Nigeria. The company is registered in Canada and his pinned video post on telegram shows he is from Australia SO PLEASE ANYONE DO NOT INVEST WITH THESE SCAMMERS AS THEY ARE VERY WELL PREPARED
