Lost $122K to Picotoken.com: What You Need to Know
We want to share an important case to help you avoid falling into the same trap. The scam revolved around Picotoken.com, where scammers used names like Lee Bohl, Eunice Jasper, and Hansom Lee to lure victims. They reached out through WhatsApp and Telegram, using contact numbers like 571-224-3481, 323-287-4064, and 302-444-2832. They even linked two Picotoken profiles to numbers 425-922-0129 and 425-922-2561. Over $122,000 was lost in this scam.
The scammers made big promises. They claimed their “contract trading” system could bring huge profits. First, they gained trust with small, profitable trades. Then they pushed for bigger investments with guarantees to recover any losses. They even created fake investment teams like the “SEAL investment team” to make their schemes look credible. When one trade lost $55,000, they blamed an “incorrect trade” and pressured the victim to invest even more.
CNC Intelligence got involved to help trace the funds. Our investigators worked with law enforcement. The scammers’ tactics were calculated and targeted. Using multiple phone numbers, fake promises, and social engineering, they aimed to extract as much money as possible.
This case reminds us of a key question: Was this ever about investing? Or was it just a sophisticated lie? From the evidence, the answer is clear. This was a well-planned scam. If you or someone you know faces a similar situation, don’t wait. Seek help immediately.
