Bitcoin Forum

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I am new here and could with some advice

I’ve got money invested in OEN which has been rising a lot. I’ve been seeing someone, who has also put in a significant sum into my pot (£100K), however I wish to withdraw some of my initial investment (9K) as I am starting to suspect this is a scam. This girl seems a bit sketchy about being able to withdraw and that it is currently on a closed website (due to go on sale to the public in January, when we should withdraw it)

Unfortunately I was a bit naive and now the alarm bells are ringing. Has anyone encountered these people on dating sites? I have read a lot about this suspected scam since. She seems to know the current trends for when the currency will increase and has been spot on every time. I also have access to what I believe is her account
Strangely enough, there is an identical website called bitfex .com, which is near enough identical and the white paper is published on oen. Asia

Any thoughts? Many thanks

Strangely the website already down right now


But I can say bitfex. com is scam exchange since they are use fake volume to their sites. And there's a victim from this exchanges that has been discussed  around 2 weeks ago [1]

Just checked this exchange on trustpilot and their review section have some victim's story like you.

Here is one which was posted on 09 December, 2020,


You can visit here to see more reviews on "Trustpilot (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bitfex.pro)".

Sorry to hear about this. What do you know so far, like how did you get enticed in?

I've never heard of this exchange, so I'm wondering how trusted it is. I think you made a mistake in making this kind of investment. I checked their website and saw that it was not long before their domain was registered.

And they are trying to confuse crypto traders by generating fake volumes on their website. So this exchange seems like a scam exchange to me.

@OP,  can you follow this format to create scam accusation to this site?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260073.0

So users here will be aware of this scam site.
You can just provide the links or snapshots of your convo as I understand, the scammer has no account in the forum.
Sorry to say this, but high likely that you will not get your funds back.
You should have at least done a quick search even in trustpilot just to check the background before sending a handful of money.

Sounds about right sadly. Would you be willing to private message me on here, curious as to what actually happened if possible. Many thanks

The scam exchange is one of the many created to fool and scam people. The script used to make the websites is copied from Okex. No genuine exchange would do such a thing.

If only you had asked about the website before you sent money to them. We would have helped you save your money but now there is nothing much we can do.

I am a Japanese man.
I was advised by a Taiwanese woman (?) Betty, who I met on SNS tantan, to invest in the crypto asset OEN, which will be listed at the end of January. All exchanges are chat. I used LINE first and then WeChat. It was said that the profit was more than double the investment amount. I refused because I didn't have much knowledge and wasn't interested, but there were some sweet topics such as investing and going on a trip together, so I invested tens of thousands of yen to learn the intention of just playing and how to invest. .. After that, I was at the mercy of specific travel destinations and other words that were close to temptation. Suddenly, the number of characters in the chat increases. A very technical word comes out and recommends a higher investment. It's a story in units of one million yen. Naturally, he refused and said, "I want to invest as much as I can," and I was convinced at that time, but on another day, he recommended a large investment again. I have invested 300,000 yen that I can use freely now. After that, solicitation for high-value investment continues. When I told him I didn't have the money to move this much, he said the trip with me was canceled and I haven't contacted him since then.

If you think about it again, the sweet story and the person who solicits investment may have been different. I was always asked about the end of my supper, and when the schedule met, the chat started and it became a solicitation talk. During the day, I was tempted by almost sweet content.

I have a question.
Is it impossible to recover this BITFEXOEN deposit anymore?
How do you handle the same victims?

I want you to tell me.

Hello, sorry to hear about this.

Sadly it is believed the whole thing is a scam on the promise of a relationship/better future etc to get you to invest large amounts of money. Unfortunately once you have exchanged BTC for the coin of their choice it appears to be no longer withdraw-able. I would not invest any more as it is highly unlikely you will get your money back. It is thought that this will be made public in January (supposedly you can withdraw it) but actually the site will close down and the fraudsters will keep the money and disappear.

I am currently still talking to this person at the present, even though she knows I am on to her. So trying to recover my investment but it is highly unlikely.

This has got to be one of the most bizarre scams I've seen here. So there is someone on Tinder pretending to be a presumably attractive woman getting people to send money to a scam exchange? I'm sorry about the losses but https://meem.link/i/q94686cn.png for darwinism in action.

Thank you for your reply.
It seems that you have been completely deceived.
I inquired several times about how to withdraw money and how to exchange OEN for BTC or USDT. However, we do not know the exact method, so we accept that the possibility of refund is low. My damage was about 360,000 yen, but some people may be more expensive. There was a comment in the thread that someone stole the crypto assets held by the fraudulent organization, leading to OEN fraud to compensate for it. Whatever the reason, I'm angry.

That is unusual, I’ve not heard anything since. My investment is still showing and can access the account as normal

I lost 200 man yen from this site. I am reporting to police now. It costs 7.5k to investigate the darknet though. Some people have located the criminal to using Binance.

I hope you can get through this it’s awful. I’ve just asked for my investment back and was told I needed to deposit a further £20k in order to get my money back. So I called her out on it, even tried video calling her and she refused to answer.

Maybe it's another drama so that people don't easily understand the scam. First check the source of where this
email came from. Many more scammers will try to take advantage of this situation, because every step of the way scammers are waiting to scam crypto users.

Last night, a girl contacted me on WeChat. I will not invest any more. If the profit on the current investment can be proved, I would like to consider the next investment. In other words, I can confirm the profit to my main bank. She says that if you deposit $ 200 in BTC or USDT to BITFEXOEN, she will teach you how to extract my BITFEXOEN deposits. Why do you need an additional $ 200? What are you trying to do at this time? If anyone can understand this, could you please tell me?

They are just trying to receive more money from you, it’s a common tactic to ask additional money
If you have anyway to establish the true identity, a phone number or address or IP address to track the criminal police will find it easier

彼らがよく使う手です。実際にお金を返しともらいたければ、自分のビットコインやイーサリウムのアドレスを知らせてここに返してくれと頼まないと意味がないです。彼らのアプリはフェイクだからアプリからお金が返ることはありません。自分も彼らにあげるつもりではなかったが、結局コインをあげたのです、私たち被害者は。アプリの数字は彼らがねつ造しています。日本の消費者法すら適用されないから取り消しすらできないです。

Someone? ;D
There are hundreds, and there are hundreds of victims, Tinder, Instagram, Facebook and how many more probably in Asia,  everything, a lot of the scammed people chose to not make it public but even so there is no month without one coming here, just looking through my history:




And the modus operandi is pretty simple (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194119.msg52855284#msg52855284):

Fake pictures of attractive girls showing off with cars, exotic locations, let's invest, get some bitcoins (they don't accept fiat for obvious reasons), and then you must deposit your coins especially on a certain exchange run by them and that's point when the dream shatters.

I didn't make any additional investment. I asked the girl why she needed a $ 200 scrap. She said it was a drawer practice. OEN cannot be moved because it is currently applying for listing. Instead, he said he intended to deposit BTC and teach him the process of trading. But to that extent, there may be other ways. I apply for a trade from the trading screen with the captured image. It's a simple story. She said she needed a transaction code. I asked for an explanation, but there was no reply.

I've already given up on money, but I don't want to cry and fall asleep, so I'll keep communicating for a while. (She seems to be stressed.)
Is it possible to accuse this case? Probably there must be considerable damage. It's not easy, though.

Don’t invest or send any more money into the platform. I was told the same and was told to deposit another £20k to get the full investment back and all the ‘profits’; even though I only invested £10k myself. I would recommend reporting this to the local authority depending whereabouts you are in the world

I wonder why people still invest in something that they do not know before, is it because of promotion about making money in a short time? If that so, I think they do not need to complain if somehow, they got scam because we know or they know that the offers are almost 80% will scam you. I do not want to say that they have a dream to make money shortly because I had that dream in the past, but I realize that it depends on how we can do to make money.

Sorry to hear your story @OP. But the next thing, make sure you can search for more details about the exchange.


The site is online again, but I do not know more about that site. The site is an exchange like the other site.

That is the best thing that you can do. You can search for the other exchange to buy and sell crypto and always search for the other data before you join in one platform or exchange, and make sure you already read reviews from many people.

I do not know if by reporting to the local authority would help you to get your money back, but that is worth to try.

Thank you for your feedback.
I've invested £ 10,000 and I don't understand why I need twice as much to get a refund. I was given various advice when recommending deposits, but when it comes to withdrawal methods, smooth exchanges are not possible. In the first place, they don't need to promote withdrawals. I'm really disappointed. Stupid. I'm currently looking for material for the script, so I can take advantage of this situation and use these worst and worst people as the subject matter. That may create empathy for people.

Yeah sadly none of us will get our money back, it seems like a scam involving a lot of fraudster and victims. I would definitely recommend reporting it to the police/authorities and keep any evidence of transactions, messages and whatnot to help with a potential investigation

If you report the situation to the authorities the chance of you getting back your investment is small because most of the scammer that tease people into investing in a dead coin usually use a stolen account and they have used one of my friend accounts to contact on Facebook before but I'm surprised you guys make an investment decision footing the information provided by a stranger

Betty in LINE, right ? this is scammer BITFEXOEN is fake, you lost money for this.
The site https://www.oen.asia/ was fake, there are no real information
just google BITFEXOEN .
I lost 200$ for her. I was so stupid at that time, not check the website. After checking the source code , I see this scam 100%. The code used old technology and no real site will use that thing. She tried to scam me 1000$ and I said f*ck

This exchange has fake volumes. You must refer to the discussion that went on here some weeks back.

Hi Akakusa san can you contact me at Reddit as I am Previous_Apperance5 I am taking this to authorities

relate to bitfex.vip

I met a Japanese girl via tinder, she proposed Bitfex.vip
love, we have to meet Blabla, Fotos, personal stories.
I put in 2k, she asked me to reload 20 k.
conversation was via whatsapp , refused to male calls or FaceTime.

I refused  to add more money, she asked for 20k, the tone became quite rude and stopped its regularity.

the OEN went up nicely on the website. Since today I can't reach the site.

I think its a big fraud, keep off.

You just got scammed using a Social Engineering tactic. If you already invested in it, then your money is as good as gone. Also, that girl is not really a girl because as far as I know, identity theft is still a prevalent issue on the Internet. Their website is down and I think that there are a lot of people or a lot of money that got scammed by this person because as you have said that you invested 9k. I hope that you will report it to a cyber crimes division in your country because having more complainants on this kinds of case will spur authorities into action on proactively chasing down this scammers. Hope that this will be the last time that you are going to get duped by any kind of scam.

Same story with me on Bitfex.vip

I can't access the side any more, its down.
My narrative was a japanese girl living in London with an uncle on a japanese trade delegation.
Refuses calls and face time. all chat via WhatsApp with an UK mobile.

I think the money is gone

kamonohashi-san
Hello.

Are you Japanese?
Who should I contact?

I will pursue her who said that OEN will be listed soon.
It's still connected on WeChat.
 Currently, the site of www.bitfexoe[Suspicious link removed]o/ is open, but after all it is a fake site.
I have no expectations.

Hello, all user, any new information about OEN? I'm stuck in this now! Anyone know how to withdraw from bitfexoe[Suspicious link removed]o?

Hello. I'm asking a WeChat girl (?). But there is no response at all. The final exchange is the method of remittance from USDT or BTC. There is no change on the site, only my assets are increasing steadily. I already know that this site is just a fake form, but I'll see a reaction for a while. If there is a reaction, I will report it.

Finally the website is no longer accessible, no SNS or reply. (I can't come) I've been caught by a scammer, but dirty money won't make me happy. Use as much as you like in hell. ww
