Has anyone had experience with Digital Pulse Crypto Exchange?

[NickO7]

I have had to come to terms with the loss of £85k and that $405k on Digital Pulse exchange may not be real and was a hook to scam me.
I have been trading for some years and was making an OK profit. 

I then started looking for investment advice online and found a group called 'Mark Jenkins Investment Group'.
This group had over a hundred traders and the trading accuracy was excellent.  I initially did not trade as was a bit hesitant as seemed to good to be true (which I now know it was).
I searched online for details about Mark Jenkins and they were all positive as the Head of Credit for Carlyle Group.
I have since done searches afterwards and there are notices on their account of crypto impersonator fraud being carried out.

After a week or so of observing and watching other members withdraw money, I finally invested some money.
They advised that I had to open an account with Digital Pulse - https://www.dporg.info/
The exchange had a https// so thought is a secure domain.

I have checked fraudulant exchange lists and Digital Pulse is not listed anywhere - there is no search footprint

I quickly made good profits, my account grew to $20k.
The free signals ended and they introduce a elite member plan which required $30k entry.

I managed to get the money to invest and joined the elite group on the condition that once $200k is reached a 15% service fee is payable (which I thought was fair).
After a week my account grew to $397k and they then asked for $52k, which I thought could be paid from the profit to which I was told that this was not possible and have to raise the money from external sources. 

I raised the money to pay their fee, then when I applied for a withdrawal from Digital Pulse they blocked the withdrawal stating i had participated in an illegal crypto share price manipulation scheme and the money is frozen whilst being investigated.

It took about a week and then I had a notice to advise that a fine was to be paid which was $39k.
The fine was imposed by their regulatory authority, which I challenged as they were unregulated but they insisted if you dont pay - I dont get my $397,000.

Other members paid the fine and withdrew their money so I paid the fine.
Digital Pulse then came up with a tax which had to be paid, then they stated a 10% deposit had to be applied to my account, then they stated that the tax was not enough.
If I want to have my money then the tax has to be paid, I have not made any further payments to them.

I have reported them to local law enforcement, the SEC, FINRA, CFFB who has forwarded to the FBI.
There are many of these investment groups popping up on WhatsApp and telegram and people need to be made aware of the risks of these groups.
I have not had any money from Digital Pulse crypto exchange.

I no longer believe the money is real and just monopoly money to get me to pay more... I fell for the scam.
I have posted comments about them online (all factual).  They have messaged me threatening legal action as I am damaging their reputation.

I had not heard from them in 2 weeks, so I sent an action request to move money from 1 account to another - they have actioned the request.
Very strange how they are still administering the account but refusing to withdrawal.

However, does anyone have any experiences with Digital Pulse or the Mark Jenkins Investment Group.

it's my first time hearing about both of them, I can't even find anything about "dporg.info" and regarding "Mark Jenkins" are you certain that he was part of Mark Jenkins Investment Group? the group could have just used that name to make them look legitimate in some way.

anyway, your post sounds very similar to a lot of fake exchange site scam victims that have posted here in the forum, the scam sites use where they lure the victim to deposit on a website, show the "profit" and then when the victim tries to withdraw they freeze the money and ask for "fees" or "tax" in order for the funds on the account to be released. I'm sorry to say that you have been scammed.

I have never heard of that company. It's sad that you haven't noticed and smelled the scam there. You made easy money from their signals and grew your account balance easily. That's it, there's no easy money man. The real thing is every trader who makes real money has their struggles and it's not as easy as how it went for you on that scam platform. You've been asked to deposit and to pay a fine and were convinced that others paid too. There are no other people there, it's also them who just encouraged you to pay and to do the same. With all of those payment schemes that have been asked of you, entry fee, service fee, tax, deposits, etc. I feel bad that you didn't see the pattern there.  
I'm sorry about your losses that you've been fooled.

I looked into that exchange site you mentioned - what was it called again? Digital Pulse? Yeah.  I couldnt find any info on them which is weird for a legit exchange.  Those guys usually got sites that have been around for years.  But when I searched, looks like the dporg.info domain was just registered a few months back.  And their site is hosted on some cheap shared server thats crammed with thousands of other random websites (goDaddy name servers). Thats never a good sign.

All things considered, its most likely a fake site some scammer just set up. When exchanges dont have much of an online presence or history, thats a red flag in my book. Im sorry for your experience, but try to be more careful when such large sums of money are involved. I doubt you will get your money back, unfortunately.

Jeezzz, this is a popular scamming technique. This is why it’s always good to ask questions publicly about something you don’t know about before entering into it - I’m sure that if you had asked here we would have showed you some red flags and prevent you from losing all those money you lost to them through their so called “fine” and “fee” charges.

Well, to be honest you are not going to hear from them again as they have moved from you to try and get someone else to scam. I’m not sure how local law enforcement would help this kind of situation as this site are usually created anonymously without them exposing themselves.

I am always surprised by the fact that some participants are careless about their money. Why not immediately seek advice from the forum participants, and not after the fraud occurred? One can only hope that this will serve as a lesson not only for the OP, but also for those who want to earn a million quickly.

Other members paid the fine and withdrew their money so I paid the fine

Those were fake members, made for the purpose to fool you into paying the fine.

Very strange how they are still administering the account but refusing to withdrawal.

Its not strange at all, as they want to appear legit as long as possible, hoping that in the end you will pay that bullshit tax they made up.


The best thing that you can do now is to forget about that money as chances that you will ever see it getting back are 0, and take it as a (pretty expensive) lesson.
