HI, I was scammed by a well-organized group on Telegram which uses the name of well-known crypto whale Joe007, they offer few services, one is so-called Joe007 OTC Gateway, where for 5 or 10% commission, offers purchase of some popular coins, for example, UNI, XRP...
For example 2.5USD for UNI + 10%commision - they do not have any other conditions written, for example, the minimum amount is not defined, here are the prices ranges per UNI
1. Up to 0.5 BTC = $2.5 USD
2. 0.5 - 1 BTC = $2 USD
3. 1 BTC + = $1.5 USD
After I have announced that I would like to buy xxx UNI (for start) which is cca 1000USD + 10% commission, they sent me a BTC address where I did deposit the amount, after that, they said that the minimum order amount is 0.2 BTC (ca 6300 USD) + 10% commission, OK, I made another deposit, and then agony started - they were stalling me, that it's a small order and I am the last in the queue, all bigger is in front of me....
Then they requested additional payment in order to get my UNI coins, now they said the minimum order is 0.35BTC, but the day before they wrote to me that they will not change any conditions for me...
Then I said that this is no way business should be done and they are most probably scammer, so I will report them, then they have started with bad words and blocked me out from all their Telegram groups and deleted conversation threads - fortunately, I have print screens.
I must say this is a well-organized crime group, they have fake admins, fake users with their positive experiences...
