Mail to Cyprus police:
Dear cybercrime,
I'm writing to you because I became a victim of a scam worth BGN 44,474 with а lead contact David Varga, a Cypriot citizen who called me at the beginning of July 2023 and told me that I have 15,000 USD from the BGN 500 invested in tradingteck in December 2020, but I have to to pay various fees to receive them. Tradingteck was arrested by cysec Cyprus as an offshore company without a license for trading crypto currency so I guess this could be an anti-money laundering case.. At the insistence of David (he was calling me several times a day almost every day in July and August, connecting also through the application anydesk), who presented himself as an employee of the Cypriot state company cysec, I made numerous transfers to binance.com via Lendix Ltd. through my.fibank.bg. Lendix was buying bitcoins for my wallet at binance.com. After paying the various fees (dividend fee, source of income fee, insurance fee, storage fee, withdrawal fee and others), the transfers were withdrawn by David from binance.com to OCBC Bank Singapore where I had 36 247 USD. This bank has been flagged as suspicious and my bank rejected its transfer. So the money was transferred again by David via Ethereum to the cryptocurrency trading exchange Coinbase, where my USD balance is currently zero, although I see 39 971 USDT in my wallet. At Etherium the transfer was marked as fake fishing and Coinbase confirmed this is a duplicated ERC-20 token. I tried to send 10 000 USDT to my Coinbase.com account but the transfer went to my second address in my Coinbase wallet, On August 7th 2023 I reported my case to report@cybercrime.bg (my complaint number is 126600-16336) and I am waiting for the result of the investigation. I am writing to you since David Varga requested another BGN 3 000 withdrawal fee by today so that he can release the money from Coinbase, otherwise my account will be blocked. I don’t have this amount, I took many credits in July to pay the fees David requested. From the available Internet information I see that David Varga is a CEO of Purple Trading, again a company with a Cypriot address. Please advise if you can help me, I got a warning from David that if I report this case to the police he will freeze my account. If you need more information I can send you the mail correspondence with David's assistant Alexandra Shevchenko from cysec requesting the different fees as well as screenshots of my bank account with the transfers made in the period 07.07.2023-01.08.2023, my binance and Coinbase wallets.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Tanya Stoyanova
