I matched a girl profile on tinder, after talking for a while this girl said to me that she was an investor and that she could teach me to invest. She guided me through this website https://jzcf.tv/m/index which apparently is a betting website. She convinced me to first put 500 EUR through a bitcoin transaction (I purchased bitcoins with localbitcoins.com and transfer the relative amount in JZCF account). We started betting with her instructions and it was going well, I was winning. Then she told me that there was a 5,000$ bonus if I deposited 50,000$. I had only 20,000 EUR in total to invest and she told me she would have lend me the remaining 30,000$. I indeed saw that my account on JZCF growing of the promised 30,000$ and therefore I put my 20,000 on that.

All the money were transferred to the address I am reporting.

After the full deposit, i thought that i would have been able to withdraw my money, and indeed the customer service told me that the restriction on my account had been lifted (picture attached). I was however unable to withdraw my money, when I asked why the customer service of the website said that I first had to bet an amount equal to the one I deposited (50,000) in order to withdraw the money. I had then no chance but betting, following the instruction of that tinder contact I started betting again with the advice of this girl, and I started winning again. After a while she told me to do a double bet on the same result so that I wouldn't loose money but I could still show that I bet enough money to be able to finally withdraw from my account. After all of this, the customer service of JZCF tells me that my last 2 bets were illegal, that my account has been frozen for money laundry reason and that to unfreeze it I have to deposit 50% of the value of my account in 10 business days, otherwise my account will be permanently frozen! This cannot be legal, they just made up the rules and for sure they cannot just keep my money, I didn't lose money on a bet, I just deposited them into an account and I have the right to have them back.

I could send you all the proof that I collected: photos of the customer service of JZCF and telephone number of the girl (+886 909 666 395), which by the way according to a research I just did, on facebook is a telephone number of a youg boy.

What I would like to obtain is just the money i deposited back, they can keep the money I won, I just want the money i deposited back (i.e. 21,500EUR). I can also attach a document tracking all the transactions from the bitcoin website to the Chinese bet website JZCF.

I don't want to scare the scammer away and have him disappear with everything, so I wanted to ask if it's possible to track down the movement of my BTC transfer and or pressure the scammer to give back the money in some way (i.e. block the entire JZCF website; track the movements of the BTC and threat to contact authorities and so on).

Please let me know, many thanks and kind regards,

Pietro

I have been scammed by twenty thousand pounds and five hundred same way as two other reporters above have been scammed.
