      In a recent alarming case, an individual fell victim to a sophisticated investment scam involving the platform Capiturly.io, resulting in a staggering loss of approximately $139,000. This platform was promoted by a YouTube channel linked to an individual named Penny Bergeron, who presents herself as a legitimate financial advisor and broker. The recommendation was showcased in a YouTube video (youtube.com/watch?v=P9vY8YsVD2w), where Capiturly.io was endorsed as a reliable platform, attracting viewers seeking credible investment advice.

      Capiturly.io portrayed itself as a credible investment platform, targeting potential investors with promises of high returns. Victims were directed to the site under the impression that it was a legal and trustworthy investment opportunity, largely due to endorsements like those on Penny Bergeron’s YouTube channel (youtube.com/@PennyBergeron-os4ch).

      After initial investments, the victim observed some account growth, which was later discovered to be artificially inflated to create a false sense of security. Encouraged by these early gains, the victim made further investments, ultimately resulting in a substantial loss. However, as soon as they attempted to withdraw their funds, the platform became unresponsive and imposed various “verification” and “transaction fees.” Each withdrawal attempt was met with demands for additional payments under different pretenses, creating an endless cycle that prevented access to the funds.

      Capiturly.io, like many similar platforms, capitalizes on unsuspecting investors by exploiting trust in seemingly professional endorsements and the allure of high returns. This incident serves as a warning to investors: exercise caution when approached with financial opportunities through unverified online sources. Always verify the legitimacy of a platform and conduct in-depth research before investing, especially when substantial sums are involved. Avoid platforms that require extensive fees or additional deposits to withdraw funds, as these are major red flags indicating fraudulent behavior.

          A recent DFPI report warns that Capiturly.io is a fraudulent crypto trading scam. A victim was contacted by a scammer named Sharon, who posed as a stockbroker and convinced them to transfer Bitcoin to the platform for trading. The victim sent funds to the Bitcoin address bc1qdv4zpss0c0c868pwp8r0nvuds5vxwa0vtha2wm 📋 , but when they attempted to withdraw their money, they were unable to do so. Shortly after, Capiturly.io went offline, leaving the victim without any way to recover their funds. This scam is another example of a Pig Butchering scheme, where fraudsters manipulate victims into investing before cutting off access to their money. If you’ve encountered Capiturly.io or similar scams, report them immediately to help others avoid falling into the same trap.
