Have I been Scammed??

[Timbo02]

I invested with someone(moderator) of a group on Telegram called Worklite Uni Options, her name is Lora. I did some research and did not find anything bad. I did contact a lot of the members for reviews or if they had been paid and no bad reviews, everyone got paid per plan, thought surely not everyone lieing (10 people). It was a 21 day payout. My 21 days is up and now all of a sudden she wants a TVN (trade verification number or code) to verify my profits for her server to send my profits. There is also a website called Capital Base Traders where I can see my profit. Not knowing what a TVN is or where to get one, I didn’t have one, she said I could get one from a TVN programmer or vendor. So she kindly gave me one of her contacts which is a TVN programmer. It all just seems fishy to me. I haven’t contacted him yet, but figuring they will want money to get a TVN. Is this normal or does it appear to be a scam? Thanks for any help!

The hand writing is just clear on the wall mate, you have been scammed. First all this investment and get a reward after some few days are clear Ponzi schemes. What they do is to start up well and pay the first set of individuals and this individual spread the word around and when more people come into it they rug pull or set another barrier like they just do now that to get some people block.

The 10 people you messaged on Telegram will definitely be a group of the scammers replying to you so you can pay for that TVN shit. Simple advice run with the money remain and forget about the already lost ones. For future reference no one likes you much on social media to give you a money milking investment.

I can't find the telegram called Worklite Uni Options even on telegram how did you found this telegram group?
Are you sure that you did your research?

About the Capital Base Traders, I searched it on Google and based on whois this site is 5 months old I also tried to check for reviews but I can't find any.
I thought that you did some research but why you don't know if they are scams or not? For me, this is suspicious I can't find the Worklite Uni option even on Google so how did you trust them?  Sorry but for me this is scam.

Contacting the community members for such review is totally wrong, knowing fully well a group of people can decide to create a project with same motive to scam others. From my thought those members op contacted for review are involved in such act. Even on social media, scammers will not just come alone but sometimes you'll see different people commenting about the project with juicy words just to lure people interested in making quick money. Op should be careful cause it seems scammers are always ready for such games.

I am sorry to say that you have been scammed and become an easy target, Never believe in anything you get across through the telegram as most of the shits are scam over there and it's filled with ponzi scheme like the one you have been looped into. Now, don't stress over it as you will not get it back and may end up being scammed even further if you follow their instructions.

Ok thanks! Yes, that’s why I didn’t even contact the so called TVN programmer. I’m sure he would want money to get this so called code and then they still wouldn’t have paid me. Wish I would’ve came here first!!
Is there anything or anywhere I can report this? I have their wallet ID where I sent it. They also have my wallet ID’s to send me my profits. Is that a bad thing? Can they somehow steal money from my accounts? I used cash app, and opened an account with crypto.com, but I don’t have any balance in either. Thanks for all your help!!

[aylabadia05]

The big reality is that you have been deceived. Before being influenced by the explanation of the moderator named Lora, even though the initial research you did did not find anything bad, you should think again about the various methods used which have claimed many victims.

I found out in a search about Worklite Uni Options on telegram like others did, but in my telegram search no results were found.
That's enough. This seems to be accurate if this is a scam.

Why not post the walletID here so that other people here are aware of this scammer's walletID.

And no they can't steal your money if it is just a wallet ID unless you sent sensitive information like password or backup key?

You didn't tell us if it was a bitcoin trading or other way of investments such as the fiats. But all I can say about this is that don't trust any given site either already compensating you with interests of your investment or any format claiming to give you investments returns of profits.
Don't be so easy to be romanced and fooled with sugarcoated words with some sorts of attractive promises or reviews via internet researches. There are local and international scammers who operates cordially according to by they could deliver their illegal jobs.
Stay of from Ponzi schemes. They're strategic scammers. Let's me warned.

From the beginning of your write up till the end is just smelling scam and scam. This why when people post their scam experience I do not discourage them. No matter how repeated a scam has been, no matter how cheap it is that you think no one will fall for it. There's one person somewhere who is ready to fall by all means.

You joined a telegram group and all the members of that group was there before you, and you now asked them whether or not the group is a scam. You were just asking a scammer if he is a scammer or not.

If this isn't a made up story, I will just say 'sorry', you are scammed. Do not contact anyone for any number for such numbers do not exist.

At this point, it should be pretty clear that this is a blatant scam.  No legitimate investment platforms are run exclusively through Telegram - thats a huge red flag.  And promising returns in 21 days but then surprise last-minute requirement? Thats a classic scam move to string people along.  TVN for profit verification? I have no idea what that even means, but it sounds like nonsense designed to confuse folks.

And them "kindly" offering up a programmer contact? Yeah right, more likely its just another scammer ready to take more of your money and  I know its hard after already investing something but do not send them any more coins or you will never see them again!

If you didn`t give them any sensitive details, then there`s no need to be afraid, as they won`t be able to steal your balance in your wallet just because they have your wallet address. But it`s possible for them to monitor your transactions, though it's highly unlikely that they`ll do it.

You have been taught how to post images here, so just post everything you have that`s related to them so that users will be able to identify them if they should be approached by the same group.

p.s. If you come across any platform promising a high return, make sure you create a thread to ask about it before you proceed with investing in it.

If you ever and yourself in any similar situation, when unsure about the authenticity of a venture, do not ask questions in the same group, that similar to asking customer support if their service is a scam. Always ask in a completely neutral community as you did now first before putting any money in.
Although, if you need to ask if something is a scam, it most likely is.

Ok thanks! Yes, that’s why I didn’t even contact the so called TVN programmer. I’m sure he would want money to get this so called code and then they still wouldn’t have paid me. Wish I would’ve came here first!!

Sorry about your loss. All you can do now is to learn from the lesson.

Is there anything or anywhere I can report this?

You can report the group to telegram.

This is clearly a scam. If someone wants you to send money to earn money then it is a scam especially a website where there's a so called plan where you will earn profit after a certain time but when you want to withdraw your capital and profit then you won't be able to withdraw your funds. This is a bit similar to what I explained and one more thng, many of the scammers stay in telegram app and find anyone who they can fool and scam their money.

[Davidvictorson]

Not another telegram crypto scams. Any buying, selling or trading crypto on telegram. It's better to close all communication channels with the individual. If you keep up with the conversation you will not know when you will do their biddings. Help yourself and the future others who will come in contact with these scammers by reporting their accounts to telegram.

When will people stop falling for the girl in the pretty dress trick. Telegram scammers use the same M.O to steal from their victims. It’s always a beautiful woman, who happens to know about cryptocurrency and is either a crypto trader or she knows X platform where you can invest and make profit from crypto. Sorry for your loss OP, the signs were there. I hope you didn’t lose a lot of money. You learned a hard lesson, trusting blindly can be a dangerous thing.

Unlike me, whenever it is about investment or technical things, I do not always trust the judgement of a woman. If I am doing an online deal and understand that it is a woman on the other end, my confidence will surely drop. So, I don't think I will be scammed just because I understood that a woman is incharge. But unlike me, many people has affinity to women and once it is a woman, they will trust easily.
