Scammers

The method they used consisted of a platform called BLAFX (https://www.blafx.com/) where after making deposits of money in cryptocurrencies, you were able to "copy" from different traders specialists whom they mentioned as "masters". ", from an entity or community called "ARK".

Once the deposits were made and you started copying a master (ark 1, ark 2, etc.), daily profits were obtained in proportion to what had been deposited, as a result of the market operations of these masters.

One day they announced a campaign called "100% Deposit Bonus Doubles Your Trading Power!" and its extension called "Extension of 100% Deposit Bonus Promotion Period!", in which the capital that was deposited on the platform was doubled, thus obtaining double the returns. Among the published terms and conditions, an announcement called "Terms and Conditions: 100% Deposit Bonus Promotion", it was indicated that this campaign ended on August 25, 2023 16:00:00 UTC and that after that the capital could be withdrawn normally.

24 hours before the end of that campaign they began to publish ads with inconsistencies in their broadcast channels (Telegram), indicating that if you wanted to withdraw the funds you would have to transfer a certain amount of money, in some cases they demanded 10%, in other cases 30%, and in others 50% of the total capital in the account.

Finally, the same day that this campaign ended (August 25), an announcement entitled "BlaFX Termination Procedure" was published on its official page, which explicitly indicated that 27% of the total capital must be deposited in our account in order to withdraw our funds.

From then on, the intentions of these scammers were clearly evident.
