We recently received a complaint from an individual who invested $4,000 in a cryptocurrency scheme through a platform called nanoexchange.us.
The victim was initially introduced to this investment opportunity by someone named Shayla Smith. This individual claimed to be an account manager.
After investing, the victim attempted to withdraw their funds.
However, they were told they had to pay a $10,000 fee to access their money.
Despite paying this amount, the withdrawal was still not processed.
The funds remained locked in what nanoexchange.us described as an ‘escrow account.’
After the initial fee, Shayla Smith continued to pressure the victim to pay an additional $16,000 to release the funds.
At this point, the victim became suspicious, as they had already paid $14,000 but still had no access to their investment.
The platform consistently promised that the money would be released within 24 hours of each fee being paid, but these promises were never fulfilled.
The emails from nanoexchange.us reassured the victim that their returns would be available soon, but this never materialized.
Is Nanoexchange.us a SCAM?
It’s essential to note that platforms asking for excessive fees to release funds are often fraudulent.
Legitimate platforms do not hold your funds hostage in exchange for payments or impose sudden, exorbitant fees to release them.
This behavior, combined with the pressure tactics used by the account manager, Shayla Smith, is highly indicative of a scam.
Based on the details provided, this is likely a fraudulent scheme. This includes the inability to withdraw the initial investment despite paying hefty fees and the platform’s unfulfilled promises.
We urge anyone involved with nanoexchange.us or Shayla Smith to exercise extreme caution.
If you are in a similar situation, it’s important to stop sending money immediately. Next, gather all correspondence and seek professional assistance to investigate and recover your lost funds.
In conclusion, nanoexchange.us and Shayla Smith’s actions fit the typical patterns of a cryptocurrency scam.
The demands for additional payments, lack of transparency, and continuous broken promises strongly suggest that the platform is not legitimate.
We encourage you to remain vigilant and avoid further involvement with this scam.
If you have been affected, please report the incident and seek help to recover your assets.
If you were scammed in cryptocurrency, we can help you trace your funds!
Please be wary of “NanoExchange” and one of their account managers named Amanda Finance, who is prominently featured across various social media platforms and can be contacted via WhatsApp at +1(229)594-9187. Initially, Amanda presents herself as friendly and helpful, enticing new users with the promise of easy profits by copying her trades. After starting with an investment of $200, I followed her strategy, which supposedly generated a profit of $8,000.
However, doubts arose when it was time to withdraw my earnings. Despite previous attempts to contact NanoExchange, which went unanswered, I suddenly received an email from them when requesting a withdrawal. The email stipulated a 15% upfront fee to process the withdrawal, amounting to $1,400. Though this raised red flags, Amanda convinced me to pay it, promising that the withdrawal would be processed within 12 hours. I paid $200 of this fee myself, and Amanda covered the remaining $1,200, which at the time seemed helpful.
Unfortunately, the withdrawal never came through, and I ultimately lost not only the $200 upfront fee but also my initial $200 investment. To make matters worse, Amanda has since blocked me on all communication channels, leaving me unable to reach her or recover my funds. Exercise extreme caution if dealing with this site and its representatives.
Are there any ways of me getting these 400$ back?
Hi Kris,
Thank you for sharing your experience and warning others about NanoExchange and Amanda Finance. Unfortunately, recovering the $400 might be challenging, as scammers often block communication once funds are sent. However, you can take the following steps:
1. Report the Scam: File a complaint with your local authorities and online platforms such as the FTC, IC3 (if in the U.S.), or your country’s equivalent.
2. Contact Your Payment Provider: If you used a credit card or bank transfer, reach out to your bank or card provider to dispute the transaction.
We hope this helps and wish you the best in resolving this matter.
Stay safe!
Best regards,
Adam
Hi to whomever,
I sought out professional advice/help from a social media advisor account which seemed legit because she seemed like an actual person going by the name of mariahinfinace. She responded fast at the opportunity when I asked if she did classes. Long story short she told me to download a few apps such as bitcoin.app from the App Store so I figured it was a legitimate person. Anyways those apps weren’t working out so she mentioned transferring over some money so she could deposit into an account to trade for bitcoins. I was a bit suspicious of it so I only sent over 150$ USD, I thought they were legit because they seemed to actually wanna help me, I still had my suspicions though. She sent over an email address for the transfer when I realized it’s under a different name @princezebby45@gmail.com, she told me it was a person called David Zebulon and he was apart of their team. After sending the money she told me to check the account, to my surprise she actually deposited the money but she told me I had to wait to get a confirmation email to continue so I should wait for it. After 24 hours I waited for the email and got nothing, so I tried texting her back and what do you know she doesn’t reply, matter of fact stopped replying to me all together. So I tried doing more research on the site and google showed it was most likely a scam. So I tried taking out the money and it’s basically like this story it was taking over 24 hours to process and still nothing . I’m unable to make withdrawals . I’ve never been scammed before so this is a new feeling almost like dread for her and she doesn’t even know.
