Hello to everyone, i am here to warn people of a bitcoin scam and the people involved in this, in particular i will tell you the names and email address's for you to avoid and not get scammed like me. These people befriended me over the last three years.
Chang Lee is the leader of this group of scumbags. They developed crypto investment software and the main developer is John Samuel otherwise known as Chief Hacker. The software is called the Vault and it appears that it is connected to Paxful. Another scumbag from this group is Ronald Serles who again scammed me and a friend just yesterday.
How It Began
Chang Lee asked me to do a favor for him about 3 years ago, this involved me sending money for him. He told me that it was all legit and he was doing it to help kids in Africa. The reason he asked me to transfer the money was because the African government would intercept the money and it would not get to the kids. So i stupidly said i would do it, i did the transfer and immediately after it was sent the bank put a hold on my account, they accused me of money laundering and my account of 30 years was closed.
By the way i was not getting paid anything to do the transfer. I was then visited by the police in my country and i told them what i had been told by Chang. They said i had been scammed and gave me a warning. My friend who lives overseas also dealt with him and she was doing the same thing as me. He sent $35,000 to her account and she was in the process of losing her house because of other scammers. Her house was forced sale and she needed this money to try to save her house. I told her what happened to me and she told me what Chang Lee was doing. She used the money to help keep the house and was going to sell the house and pay the money back from the proceeds.
It was found that the money had been stolen from the bank account of a local Church group. Chang Lee found out the money had not been transferred on and threatened to harm her. He even pretended to be an FBI agent and threatened her even more. She went to the police in her country and told them everything, her bank account was also closed down.
She sold her house and paid the Church back all that was owed. While this was going on Chang had unbeknowns to me put some more stolen money into my other bank account. It was $1300 dollars and i had just retired and signed some goverment forms to get the pension and it had a box on the forms asking if i was in financial hardship, i ticked the box and when i saw the money in my account i believed it was from a Church group, i checked my account to see who it was from and i traced it to a church and charity society in my country. So i believed that it was from them.
I spent a little of the money as i was doing it very tough and thought it a godsend. However then this bank account was frozen, and i was told by bank security that i was laundering money. I told them what happened and they continued to insist i was a money launderer. I then got another visit from the police and was questioned, I told them everything about Chang Lee, they told me the money had been stolen from someone else in my country. So the police again dropped any charges against me. By the way i have never had a police record before getting involved with Chang Lee.
So the moral of this story is NEVER agree to send money on for someone else no matter if you believe its for a good cause. And ALWAYS ask your bank about any deposits that are placed there from unknown sources. In my situation i believed it was from the charity organisation, i was wrong. Most of this happened in 2017-2018 and i never spoke to Chang Lee after that until he contacted me in 2019.
He told me that he had been scammed also and that he was sick and dying, he told me that the money i originally put into the Vault investment would be paid back. I had originally put a few thousand into the Vault in 2017, i believed that it was lost and I had moved on. However he was offering me a chance to get that back. So stupidly i again gave him the benifit of the doubt, but not my bank account. He told me that they were now involved in a The Crypto Currency Association. It seemed legit when a lady contacted me from the association, her name is Sarah Nelson . She told me that the license required a fee. She told me how much and both my friend and i both paid the fee. We never got our licence and this has continued for over year, both my friend and i trying to get our money back from these scumbags. Only yesterday Chang Lee's buddy Ronald Serles promised to return $200 he owed my friend, he lied and kept the money.
There is much more to the story but think it gives you a good idea of what low life scum there is in this world. They take advantage of honest people's hopes and dreams and play on this. I want to expose these arseholes even it does make me seem nieve and stupid. I am going to put all there names at the bottom of the video. This is just one group of scumbags and i will be exposing more. Also my Paxful account was hacked where they tried to buy bitcoin through my account, my account was closed on Paxful because of trying to buy bitcoin with paypal or western union through other scammers that populate Paxful.
Not all sellers there are scammers but a lot of them are. I have never and would never buy with Paypal or Western Union because the rates are too high. But Paxful closed my account with no way to appeal, so as far as i am concerned Paxful is mostly a bunch of scammers too. My advice is to stay with reputable exchanges. I never would use Local Bitcoin or Paxful again. So put two and two together, as Chang Lee is somehow connected with Paxful and his Vault investment server it was quite likely him.
I will also put this text and video on ripoff report and scam advisor and scam watch also with the Federal Police in my country. Thanks for listening and hope this helps others not to fall in the same trap as me and my friend. DONT GET MIXED UP WITH THESE SCUMBAGS!!
