On November 15, 2024, we received a complaint about a blackmail scam that led to a loss of $90,619. The victim reported depositing $9,500 on the website tetherex-marts.com to invest and earn money, which initially showed a significant profit of $127,000. However, when attempting to withdraw funds, the scammers demanded a 20% tax payment. After paying the tax, additional charges were imposed for a premium membership and for bypassing the withdrawal queue. The victim was then informed that their account had a security alert and required even more payments to unfreeze the funds. Despite depositing a total of $81,500, the victim has been unable to withdraw any money and has received no further responses from the scammers.
The blockchain addresses linked to the scam include TLHwhaqEcNZybReSJqC6UZcXTuf45gTVsZ (TRX), 0x7a60BEb9f85Dec8293Dd9D656Dd123C4bcB7FD66 (ETH), and TFJpEixT1zAMBh7S3dmNURTaCV47Na1hPC (TRX). The scam also involved the URL tetherex-marts.com.
The victim pleaded for urgent assistance, expressing their distress and the devastating impact of the scam.
