File FBI complaint against them the best soluction (IC3.Gov)

It all started like this-

I came across this ad on line

http://smarturl.it/trading_gm

Xsystentrader.com

Xsystem Trader.

I responded to this ad and someone called me a few minutes later and asked if i was familiar with Crypto currency trading. I answered Yes. he asked if I owned any Bitcoin, i answered yes. He proceeded to asking if i was making any money with it, i said No. he said he can show me how i can make money with it trading it for on their platform. Quickly he asked me to allow him show me by giving him access to my account with Coinbase where my Bitcoin was been hosted. i allowed him by sharing my computer screen with him using ANYDESK software. Before you know it the Bitcoin was retrieved from Coinbase to the a new account created for me on CRYPTOBRAVOS trading platform. My first question was, "will i be able to withdraw my profit and capital at any time of my desire? the answer was YES. 

A trade was place on my behalf by my new so called account manager,STEVEN HILLS. he was a very pushing man and aggressive. Soon he has added a profit of $700 to my account which was only a little over $4000 as at that time. He said his trading formula was better then any one else because he never lost a trade. His system was a "No loss sytem". That by virtue of been an account manager, he has a lot of opportunity in the crypto trading open market. He lead me to a crypto website called Creptoexchange/cryto.com and showed me how there are buyer out there who are wiling to pay higher for crypto currency than the current market price and demonstrated by making a purchase and credited the profit to my account immediately and asked if i will like to withdraw as prove, i sad yes. We went through the process and withdrew to my Coinbase account and the from there to my bank account. Demonstrating that i will be able to do the same at will. Mr.Steven Hills called me every morning for the first week to trade with me as described.

Each time he keeps asking me to take my account seriously by adding additional funds. prompting me some times to go get a loan against my home or liquidate any retirement plan and invest with him.

I eventually add additional funds to the account. soon he contacted me with a deal that just arrived his desk. There are 100 Bitcoin available at whole sale for $100.000. He asked me to take advantage. i said No. I had No such money. About a week later he came with a similar proposal and i bought into to it and grew my Bitcoin account to 199 Units with a trading Balance profit on the trading platform now reflecting over $2 million.

I asked to to withdraw some money he said i could not withdraw not until 30days because the condition for been able to sell me the Bitcoin at such a low price was to allow Cryptobravos trade with the Bitcoin and make money with it also. Thant was understandable considering I got the units for very low prices. Then come another proposal from Steven Hill again, this time , because I have been asking for a withdraw of some funds, There was a Chinese investor who needs cash urgently and will sell his Bitcoin 300 units for $150.000.00, we negotiated $100.000.

He pushed and pushed me to purchase it. each time I said No. Then he said If I could make arrangement to purchase the units I will not have to wait for 30 days to be able to withdraw any money. I will automatically be qualified for a weaver and have full access all my money immediately. I came up with the $100.000.00 and acquired the 300 units. this time around my Bitcoin inits rose to 500 and as soon as the money arrived Coinbase as we usually do, I email Steven Hill, he called me and engaged me on ANYDESK and manipulated the $100k into Bitcoin within Coinbase and withdrew it. At this time my trading account with them at CRYPTOBRAVOS has swollen to $5.819.910.12.

The plan was to help me withdraw $5 million dollars as soon as the 300 Bitcoin is paid for. Steven Hill had me on hold and disappeared. All emailed put to him were never answered. He has never answered any phone call. Always asked not to call him because he was trading and will not be able to answer. His phone always sound muffled and distant.

Enters Mr.Ben. He called and said he was the CFO of the company and that the reason he has called me was to congratulate me on my trading success with them and he was calling to help me withdraw my money. This time, asking me to come up with $55.000 representing 1% fee for helping me trade. when I said to him that paying a 1% fee upfront before withdrawal was not a part of the agreement, He called me ungrateful,insulted me every kind of way and said he will close my acccount. if he did close it i dont know. after that, i knew Im in for a fight. He asked me to come up with half of the the $55k and he would allow me withdraw. Forgetting that the agreement was actually 5% commission whenever a withdrawal is made, they get to keep the 5% commission which i was always open to as agreed.

There was never a time any fee up front payment was mentioned. This is just a way to keep the scamming going. I soon discovered that this was their plan not allow any withdrawal of profit nor capital invested. They are Holding a little over $250.000.00 of my invested capital and profits of over $5 million if it actually exist. Upon additional research i discovered that there are countless of victims on line that Cryptobravos.com and Steven Hill has scammed.

I sincerely hope the FED will step in quickly and stop these guys. they are ruining peoples lives every day.

If you are victime reach out and file FBI report fast.

Thank you.

AUTHOR: John - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, April 03, 2022

  This is definitely a platform run by scammers. They just baited me with fake profits and waited till I made another large deposit before they disappeared with my money and became silent. I tried all I could to no avail until experts helped me get back my money from them. Never get involved with this platform as they will definitely rip you off!!!
