Crypto currency

Jonathon12

We have been trying to release some crypto currency but made a mistake on the application  they now think we are trying to launder money and asking for a large amount to release the money  has anyone had the same issue, if so is it genuine and the money was released after paying or is it a scam

Paying to cash in sounds 100% scam to me. 

Who is they?

How much did you lose 'invest' and with which company?

Who is the company? 

An application - when opening the account? What was the mistake?

How much Crypto are you looking to release and in what form?

"Asking for a large amount to release the money" screams fraud but please provide some further information and I'm sure people here will try and assist.

They don't think you are laundering money, it is just an excuse to get you to pay them more money that you won't see again.

If a genuine business thinks that you are laundering money, then they must report it and not tip you off.

Your original funds are gone, don't give them any more of your hard earned cash. 

Oh - as posters above suggest - name them!

The company requiring is the Financial action task force, and the error was when trying to release the cash which our crypto financial agent was helping us with, amount was 12 Grand, we have spoken our crypto agent and she assured us it is genuine but I just needed to hear if anybody has had the same issues and what was the outcome as I am really worried

FATF Do NOT ask for money.... They are a policy-making body that companies have to abide by.

Who is the crypto company?

Who is your 'crypto agent'?

Crypto is just another way for the 1% elite who own more than 99% of the wealth, to make money out of us. Some make it big, but some win the lottery, whilst the majority lose each time they purchase a ticket. I don't have all the answers but steer clear of "Get Rich Quickly" schemes, only a few get rich. I pray for you all.

Crypto is also a convenient banner for scammers to hide behind, in persuading punters to part with their money to buy into something they don't understand, which in many cases won't actually go anywhere near any crypto as such....

You should be.  This screams scam, and not just the latest request for funds. What company is it, who is this "crypto agent" (not her name, just the company she allegedly works for) and how much have you paid her?

I suspect that everything you've 'invested' has long gone, along with whatever you've paid this agent, followed by anything else you're about to send them.

DO NOT send any more money.  With £12k+ at stake, I'd be inclined to get some legal advice.
