Scam disguesed as crypto management
Abuser: 'Lightstone Funds LLC' formerly 'Investone-Capital'
Here is my experience: I have been contacted on LinkedIn by a Mister McL ... seemingly very successful rich guy from Florida. He asked are you interested in Crypto investment? His 'manager', Mr. J. takes me on as a 'student', he calls me 'brother' and 'friend'. I feel lucky - someone wants to share his success with others... give something back. He promises me financial freedom if I trust him. He 'helps' me to open my account at 'investone-capital.com' and it seems like I am in control of my money on the website. My account - my password. It seems like I am making very good profits. Almost too good to be true... I receive mails with wonderful 'earning-reports'! Then suddenly without a warning I am supposed to send more money on top of my investment for 'capital gains tax' otherwise my money will unfortunately be 'frozen'. Why don't they take it from our earnings? They can't take it out of my 'earnings' because it is invested 'long-term' WITHOUT him telling me. Or so he says... I find out that IF YOU WANT TO WITHDRAW it is not possible without your friendly 'manager'. I get suspicious and want to 'quit' but I am supposed to make FIRST a high transfer payment (10%) to get my investment back and my earnings. If not, my money is 'stuck'... says the 'CEO' Mr. H. A crypto expert and the police are advising me: They say that if I send them the extra money it will also be gone and it is in their opinion almost 100 % certain, that I will still not receive my investment back. Apparently a widely spread method... I DO suspect fraud. I hope to be able to warn others and that the police can prevent more harm being done to other investors. The Company has apparently changed their name recently to 'Lightstone Funds LLC' 'Investone-Capital' doesn't seem to exist anymore.
