س: أعتقد أنني ضحية عملية احتيال بالعملات المشفرة. التقيت بفتاة عبر تطبيق "تندر" يوم 17/06/2021 وبعد أن تحدثنا تبادلنا الأرقام. لقد أدخلتني إلى "بينانس" باستخدام لقطات الشاشة خطوة بخطوة، مما ساعدني في إعداد حساب. بعد ذلك، طلبت مني إنشاء حساب على منصة أخرى أعتقد الآن أنها منصة مزيفة. على مدى ثلاثة أشهر، شجعتني باستمرار على إيداع المزيد والمزيد من الأموال، وكنت أحقق عوائد ضخمة. في المجمل، أودعت حوالي 250 ألف دولار أمريكي ومن المفترض أن يكون لديّ عائدات بقيمة 850 ألف دولار أمريكي. ولكن في الآونة الأخيرة عندما حاولت سحب جزء من المبلغ، تم رفض سحبي وأخبرتني خدمات العملاء أنه يجب علي دفع 150 ألف دولار أمريكي كضريبة من أجل الوصول إلى هذه الأموال. كنت متشككًا للغاية ورفضت الدفع. وفي هذه المرحلة توقفت خدمة العملاء عن الرد عليّ. أتمنى تعويض بعض الخسائر وتقديم هذه الفتاة إلى العدالة.

س: لقد كنت ضحية احتيال في عملية تداول للعملات المشفرة وحاولت تقديم بلاغ للشرطة في عدة مناسبات. ومع ذلك، استمروا في رفض شكواي. هل يمكن تقديم الشكوى بواسطة ممثل قانوني؟ ربما يأخذون الأمر على محمل الجد.

Q: What is the best way to recover money from a cryptocurrency exchange scam? The platform I'm using to trade cryptocurrency is based in Singapore but operated by Chinese people. I have invested 150k AED into it, coming all from my credit cards. When I wanted to withdraw money, the customer service said that I need to pay taxes on the profit amount. After paying taxes to them, they are now saying the financial intelligence department found that my account is abnormal and suspected of money laundering due to recent frequent trades and excessive txn volume. They want me to deposit 20% of my account amt (10k USD) within a week to prove that I didn't launder money, or it will be frozen and will report me to the FI dept. Can you please advise if this is legal according to the laws and regulations of Singapore? I don't have money anymore to pay them and I think it's just a scam. The platform recently had the system upgraded and changed; no license, no t&cs, no physical address, no phone number. Shall I report to the police now?

Q: I give an investment to a Pakistani individual for trading opportunities in cryptocurrency. He gave me three cheques as security against my investment. He used to give me profits every month. After 4 months, he failed to give me a profit by saying all investments were liquidated and lost. I opened a cheque execution case against him and all three cheques (100k + 12k + 29K AED) got bounced due to insufficient funds. During this stage, the person managed to leave UAE and flee to his home country ( Pakistan). It is more than 4 months after my execution case yet I didn't receive any money from the court. How can I recover my money? I need a detailed answer. Thanks.
