    Hi admin. I am a victim of cryptotrades247.com particularly named Humberto Francois. For the sake of all seeking for investment, kindly published this publicly for the awareness of all mainly to prevent another victim.
    Moreover, is there any chance to get my money back from them?

    So this company omumoney.icu is not a bitcoin company per say but they are a scam and have “lost” (stolen) bitcoin payments to avoid paying out money. The model is to click ads and they pay 10 cents per click. I did enough to collect $471 withdrawal and went to withdraw the funds. I was told I needed 40 referrals to get the funds or buy referrals from a group for $9 in bitcoin. I sent them bitcoin and received this curious reply:
    “Unfortunately, when adding referrals, there was a failure in the database
    And your payment has been lost, there is unfortunately no chance to restore it.
    We bring to you our deepest apologies and as compensation
    We charge 150 dollars to your account. We promise that this will not happen again.
    To get referrals, you need to once again buy referrals on the exchange from any user
    Go to stock exchange After purchase, follow the link Confirmation link I personally check the purchase and transfer the referrals to your account within 10 minutes.
    And you can immediately withdraw money.

    Yours faithfully
    Martin Wood
    Project Manager”
    As if he could watch a transaction. They received my payment but stole it and failed to withdraw my funds. I did do a second $9 bitcoin transaction against my better judgment and I got the same results without a comment this time.
    Everyone needs to stay away from this company.

        Did you end up getting your profit? My account manager asked me to sign in cryptotraders247.com. I came across your post and i ask him how he will get his commission and i suggested to withdraw it directly from my profit. But he said, the site wont allow it and needed to pay brokers fee first before they authorized the withdrawal. Seems same thing that happened to you.

    SHAUN AMES & FIDELITYFXFINANCE.OR are SCAMMERS. He offered me Bitcoin trading services. He asked me to deposit BTC into this supposed exchange fidelityfxfinance.org where he connected his trading software. He showed profits for several days but then I wanted to withdraw and the platform did not allow me to do so. It claimed I owed 0.365 BTC for unpaid miner fees from my trades done off their site. They asked me to send this amount to another BTC address before I could have my balance withdrawn. They were unwilling to use the balance to pay fees. The trader Shaun Ames when confronted with this denied wrongdoing and then blocked my calls. His contacts are found on several crypto channels and blogs in the comments section promoting a great system. There numerous false reviews validating his services. Here are his details:
    Shaun Ames shaunames01@gmail.com
    telegram @shaun095
    1-510-972-3951
    I have a copy of his driver’s licence from Califonia if required. It’s probably fake too.
