I was part of an online crypto investment group, where traders and investors shared market insights. One day, a well-respected member introduced GreenFuture Capital, an eco-friendly crypto fund that invested in sustainable blockchain projects. The idea was that investors could earn monthly profits while also helping fund green energy solutions.

The company claimed to have partnerships with major blockchain companies, and they provided a detailed investment roadmap, financial audits, and even video interviews with their CEO. Everything looked legitimate, and some of the group members claimed they had already received profits.

The investment tiers started at $1,000, with higher returns for those who invested more. Trusting the project, I started with $5,000. Within a month, I received my first payout—a 15% return. Encouraged by this, I decided to invest more, adding another $20,000.

Then, things started falling apart.

Suddenly, withdrawals were delayed due to “technical upgrades.” A few weeks later, the company announced that they were “moving funds to a new platform” and that withdrawals would be suspended temporarily.

Then, without warning, the website went offline. The CEO disappeared, the Telegram group was deleted, and the so-called “investors” who had originally promoted the fund were nowhere to be found.

GreenFuture Capital was a Ponzi scheme, where early investors were paid using funds from new victims. Once they collected enough money, they vanished overnight.

I had lost $25,000, and I wasn’t alone—thousands of others had been scammed.
