Fraud Account scam. “Invested” BTC and can’t get it back
Abuser: Polchainfund.com
I'm extremely embarrassed about this. I followed a link to this company from a celebrity. They talk on their website about returns etc. They don't have any of my sensitive information, just $18,500 of BTC that I sent August 31. I invested in a 2 week "plan" and sure enough, 2 weeks later I am trying to withdrawal my funds and they are giving me all the run around (technical issues, I did something wrong on their platform, the withdrawal is pending be patient etc). Now that I'm digging in, the red flags are EVERYWHERE. They have names spelled wrong on the website. Numerous links don't work. The social media account appears to have media lifted from other sites (Instagram: polychain.capital) I can provide the transaction information (from my Gemini account to the “fund” via bitcoin.) Polchainfund.com is the website. They have tried to say my investment is insured up to $500k. They don’t have a legitimate address in San Francisco The Order of Events: August 25 I initial reached out. August 31 I deposited $18,500 of BTC from my Gemini account. August 31 I was told that the funds were invested. September 15 I initiated a withdrawal of my funds (after 2 week investment period) Since then I have been receiving the run around from the firm and not being transferred my BTC. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. I have 9/15 Technical slowdown 9/15 Threat / warning of taxation 9/15 Delays in fund withdrawals due to volume 9/16Tried to say that I did something (a new deposit, which I did not) that caused an issue 9/17 Now telling me the above #4 was fraudulent and under investigation. 9/17 Still no resolution. been unable to get my money back, but get all the excuses in the book.
