Bitfexoen Pro: Potential Scam?

[SR0193]

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

Code:

https://www.bitfexoen.pro/

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,

Hi, I was told about a cryptocurrency that is in the ICO stage called OEN by a girl called Li Mengyao based in Hangzhou, China. I met her on the Chinese dating app called Tantan.

I invested some money into OEN because she said it was a good opportunity and will help our future relationship (I’m so gullible to have fallen for this). In recent days my instincts kicked in and I carried out a thorough investigation and having read blogs about other ICO scams, the pattern being followed here is similar so my conclusion is this is a fake website and OEN is fake.

When I mentioned that I would not invest anymore into OEN she got angry and stopped talking to me saying that I am missing out!

The only thing I’m missing is my money!

Avoid OEN investment!

Hi,

I am in the same boat. I am unable to withdraw my funds. The locked my USDT wallet.

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

Hi,

I am in the same boat. I am unable to withdraw my funds. The locked my USDT wallet.

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

Code:

[b][color=black]What happened:: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Scammers Profile Link: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Reference Link: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Amount Scammed: [/color][/b]

[b][color=black]Proof of Payment: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]PM/Chat Logs: [/color][/b]
[b][color=black]Additional Notes: [/color][/b]

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.

Yes, It started in septmeber. I think there are various websites as well

https://www.bitfex.pro

https://www.bitfex.vip

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

https://www.bitfex.vip

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 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.

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.

the girl is bothering me to trasnfer my oen to imtoken at a charge of 0.1 dollars... another scam i guess..

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?
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:

I have recently been scammed and lost about 7,000€,
Here we go:I met this girls on tinder

Some woman contact me trough Instagram first time in September

I started chating with a girl from Tinder that the conversation lead to her bussines wich is a investor.

And the modus operandi is pretty simple:

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.
