A scam involving the website junglescoutmall.com has been reported, resulting in a loss of $17,513 USD. The victim was contacted via WhatsApp and lured into a fraudulent online job scheme resembling a Jungle Scout platform. The job required completing tasks and depositing money to cover “Lucky Premium Product Bonuses” using USDT cryptocurrency via a wallet opened on KuCoin.

Hi Michael, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve also fallen victim to this scam. The demand for a large deposit to unlock funds is a well-documented tactic used by scammers, and understandably, you’re feeling unsure about what to do next. You can schedule a free consultation with cybersecurity experts for assistance and advice. You can discuss your situation in more detail and get guidance on the next steps for potential recovery and reporting. Stay strong, and remember you’re not alone in this.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Netzeffekt-nl.com. Scammers often use a blend of professional-looking websites, fake job offers, and high-promise schemes to lure victims into depositing more funds. It sounds like their tactic of ‘unlocking’ accounts by demanding additional deposits after reaching a negative balance is especially manipulative.
From the screenshots you shared, we can see how they initially approved small withdrawals (e.g., $130, $179.61, $127.59) to build trust. However, they then turned down larger withdrawal requests, like $20,622.70 and $7,702.70, without providing a reason. This is a common tactic to create a sense of credibility at first, only to later block larger withdrawals and request even more funds to supposedly ‘unlock’ the account.
We also noticed the message from ‘Rachel from Indeed’ offering you a job. Scammers often impersonate trusted platforms like Indeed to add legitimacy to their approach. Offering freelance jobs with promises of easy tasks and high commissions is a tactic to bait people with small gains and then escalate to large deposit demands.
We strongly encourage you to report this scam to your local authorities, the cryptocurrency exchange you used, and financial institutions like your credit union.
Thank you for sharing your experience and warning others about the tactics used by scammers on Netzeffekt-nl.com. The cycle of asking for additional deposits to unlock funds is a common and distressing scheme.
We agree that reporting the scam to your local police, your cryptocurrency exchange, and financial institutions like your credit union is essential.
We hope your story helps alert others to these scams and prompts them to stay vigilant.
On November 15, 2024, we received a heartbreaking report of a scam involving a total loss of approximately $502,053. The victim, a 64-year-old individual, described how they were manipulated into a romantic relationship with a scammer who appeared to be highly knowledgeable about cryptocurrency, blockchain, and smart contracts. The relationship, conducted primarily over WhatsApp with video chats, led the victim to trust the scammer entirely.
The scammer persuaded the victim to set up Crypto.com and Coinbase Wallet accounts and guided them to invest in what was described as a “secure Smart Contract” using USDC. Initially, small investments of $2,500 yielded promising returns, leading the victim to invest $30,000 more. Eventually, the scammer convinced the victim to commit their entire savings, including retirement funds, under the pretense of lucrative returns. As the victim’s money became locked in the contract, they were pressured to keep investing, draining all financial resources, including emergency and daily expenses.
The scammer lived a lavish lifestyle, as shown through photos of private jet travel and extravagant parties, and continued to make excuses and demands until disappearing when the investment supposedly matured. Despite efforts to communicate, including sending iMessages that appear delivered but receive no response, the victim remains devastated and hopeless, having lost their life savings and retirement security.
