You should be cautious of investment opportunities from patagonia-trade24.finance. This website ran a cryptocurrency investment scam. It lured people in by accepting Bitcoin deposits and showing fake growth in their portfolios. One person saw their balance grow to over $82,800. When they tried to withdraw, the scammers demanded extra deposits totaling $23,900. After sending the money, all communication stopped. No withdrawals were ever processed.

Another scammer group, Cyber Block Detectives, posed as recovery agents. They claimed to recover the lost funds and used Atomic Wallet to display fake funds as real. These funds grew in the wallet but required more deposits to “release.” The victim deposited $30,450. After a supposed security breach at Atomic Wallet, all real funds vanished, leaving their balance at zero. We suspect a connection between the scammers and the wallet.

CNC Intelligence traced transactions across platforms like Binance, ChangeNOW, HTX Crypto, and Coinbase.

This scam used clever tricks to gain trust, but the facts make it clear. Fake growth, blocked withdrawals, and shady recovery agents show a deliberate plan to steal funds. Always verify platforms before investing or hiring help. We want you to stay safe and informed. If you’ve encountered similar scams, share your story. It helps us investigate and warn others.
