I've potentially made 2 thousand dollars out of this. I apparently won 0.06 Bitcoin. I'm still very skeptical at this point, but they aren't asking for any personal information further than Name, adress, zip etc. The way to get the bitcoin is transferring it to a bitcoin wallet like coinbase, not directly sending the money to my bank account or anything.
Starting to think it's more plausible, but I really don't want to make a bad mistake here.
Thanks guys
Hi all
Yesterday on 8th June I was the victim of a scam/hack where I lost a total value of approx $20k at yesterday’s prices. It started off as result of my complete stupidity and then gradually got worse as I tried to correct it.
It started off by me attempting to purchase some $SLD (Shield Protocol) coins. I missed the initial coin offering the day before and I was in a rush for some reason and tried to purchase by another means.
Anyway I ended up trying to buy directly from Shield by transferring 750 GBP of ETH (around 0.4 ETH) straight from my Coinbase Exchange wallet based on a tweet from the Shield Dao team. Yes I know this was stupid on so many levels it doesn’t bear describing. Anyway as soon as I sent it I realized I made a screw up. As how would they send coins to my Coinbase exchange wallet?
I then compounded the mistake by tweeting for help. One replied reporting to be from Shield Customer services. For some reason I assumed it was legit (even though someone else tweeted in response to be careful).
Anyway then the customer service guy told me to retrieve my funds I would have to send an identical amount of ETH to the following account to “unclog” the funds.

Anyway I stupidly did so and then another 0.4 ETH disappeared. Then the customer service guy said don’t worry they will send me a link and to click on the link and attach my wallet details and they would transfer it straight over. Again I’m so stupid I did as I was asked, as I thought they were genuine.
This was the link they asked me to connect to
bitfly.site or byteex.cc
FILII is not a legit crypto. It will never lauched to become a public cryptocurrency. There is no ICO for this crypto. I invested and scammed over $45000USD. It is just a scam/ fraudulent. I personally went to the FBI office last week to seek for help. Unfortunately, FBI officers claiming that, in order for FBI agent to open a file for investigation, there is minimum of $500,000 money involved or if there are more victims shown up in their complaints. We need your help as you need our help. Let get tight together to fight for our justice, our pride. Spread the words if possible thus different social media. If there are any victims invested into this fraud, I suggest you to report your case to FBI cybercrime in the following link:
Along with reporting to FBI website, there are actually more government websites we can report our cases.
https://www.sec.gov/oiea/Complaint.html
Seems like those fraudsters are from China, but there is no way we can report anything to China gov (i tried, but it won't work unless you know someone in China who can help you report in mainland). However, there's a Hong Kong police website we can report to
https://www.erc.police.gov.hk/cmiserc/CCC/PolicePublicPage?language=en
Then go to report a cyber crime
Since we are given out our ID card or driver license information when we create the accounts, we also basically became a victim of identity thief. My suggestion is also report to the the following government website
they are the guys that are in the comment section on youtube. Mainly on financial channels. They promise super high returns within a week or 2. No investment is guaranteed
I had received a promo in btc to use their services and try out the exchange. They have option trading so I thought why not! They make you deposit 0.01 btc to get verified and don't explain that a fee is taken out from your deposit and fail to help explain this so my deposits kept falling short. After I made the proper deposit they told me I had to be a premier member in order to withdraw any funds.. so I made the next deposit to become premier. I wanted to withdraw my deposits and use the free promo but as to withdrawing my funds the froze my account and are demanding an additional 0.047 btc deposit and every day I wait its an additional 1%. Look I just want my money back and move on from this. If you use this exchange you've been warned. They've taken 17000 from me at this point.
