You've paid them £39,000 ?   Thirty Nine Thousand pounds?  That's not a typo?


What exactly did they tell you to make you believe you were due any money in the first place?

What you said was a bit confusing:   You did some crypto-currency trading in the past (and then stopped?) but "they" (some one else) created a number of other accounts in your name and kept on trading?   And then they were caught and the money was put into a "liquidation account" ?    

If that's the case then that money, if it ever existed (which it almost certainly didn't) was never yours to start with.

Still confused.

How much was your original investment, what was the capital gain and who did you pay these "taxes" to?

Are you still invested?

Who exactly have you paid money to apart from the currency investments and for what reason?

I may be thick put hope you can be a little more precise.

Keep_pedalling

The only people you pay capital gains taxes to are HMRC. Sorry but that is just part of the scam.

Whatever happens please just say you aren't going to send them any more.....

 , this sum they have said will be returned in full if they cannot retrieve the funds 

The only variable here is how many excuses they will make not to return your money
I suspect the money in the liquidation account was a fantasy

That AFP platform looks hooky, no way to sign up for it that I can see but a handy login page where, if you were given the credentials, you could login and see the funds just sitting there...........

STOP PAYING ANY OF THESE PEOPLE MONEY

Apologies in advance if what follows sounds rather blunt.

richiestraughan said:

I did not know that they had opened another seven accounts in my name ...

The reason you did not know this, is that it did not happen.

richiestraughan said:

... and were trading ...

They were not trading. They lied to you.

richiestraughan said:

... and money was secured in a liquidation account ...

There was no liquidation account. There is no money.

richiestraughan said:

... after they were caught and the platform taken down and dissolved (Barton Markets.com )

That bit we can agee on; bartonmarkets seems to have been a scam site.

richiestraughan said:

I was informed by a financial auditor that I had money in a liquidation account ...

He lied to you. There is no money and there is no liquidaton account.

richiestraughan said:

... and have been trying since April to retrieve it and had to pay out of my money capital gains and transfer fees that have added up to quite a large sum so far ...

You have given them money. You will not see it again.

richiestraughan said:

... and on the 4th of November it was all stolen out of the account to a wallet address ...

This was also a lie. There was no money, no account and no wallet.

richiestraughan said:

... however it might be able to be returned if I pay out yet again to a cyber investigating company AFP have recommended with a sum of £14500 , this sum they have said will be returned in full if they cannot retrieve the funds 

This is also a lie. There is no money to return. Anything you pay them, you will never see again.

richiestraughan said:

The Financial auditor is Marcus Briggs from EO consultancy in London ,he contacted me by email and has kept in touch by phone and emails.

He's unlikely to exist. EO Consultancy barely exists and there's no evidence that they employ anyone. Whoever has been contacting you is unlikely to be called Marcus Briggs or work for EO Consultancy.

richiestraughan said:

The capital tax fee was for the money that was in the liquidation account ...

There is no account and there is no money.

richiestraughan said:

... and AFP is a trading wallet and they were storing it in the liquidation account which I still have access to ...

There is no wallet, there is no liquidation account. Whatever you are seeing n your computer / phone is fake. You don't have access to it, any more than you have "access" to Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie by vewing a photo of either of them online.

richiestraughan said:

The funds were in AFP wallet and the currency was crypto and USD.

There are no funds, no wallet and no account. It's all make-believe to help them defraud you.

richiestraughan said:

You will not see any of that ever again.

Exactly this.

DO NOT SEND ANY MORE MONEY.
