Another victim has recently exposed the Bitfinex Options scam. Here is her/his description.

I'm also a recent victim of a telegram group called "Binary expert trading".

A trader called Dave Lawrence (@Dave_224)asked me to make different deposits under btc wallet id :1era8mhevtrqpeyqq3huafmrvnqhnr9kh3 and 129bjxds3g4vs6ieaiyohkmhjtvqfpjgf2 .

I was asked to deposit a total of around $900 and still wasn't enough. He offered to make $10,000 for a $200 investment. He kept asking for more money to claim profit, he's full of excuses/reasons.

I was asked $600 to claim profit on bitfinexoptions.com and told me he can lower it to 200 and paid that and asked to deposit more and more...please stay away from that group before you get scammed. I have learned the hard way.

In addition, in May this year, victims have complained to FxGecko to expose the scam of Bitfinex Options.

hi i'm an amateur crypto investor and had invested in a crypto forex trading group on telegram which also have a website online bitfinexoptions.com .

A trader named Chris Jeffery personally texted you to deposit an investment of 200$ to their btc wallet

129BjxDS3G4vS6iEAiyohkMHJtVqfpjGF2

and after had to deposit further extra 750$ to claim the profits. But after depositing the amount the trader tells that some issue was there and the 750$ did not process the profit and further asks for 300$ more which would process the profit. I started to suspect this is a scam because of the repeated requests for deposit to claim profits.

I don't know what to do anymore. kindly advise. I'm also deleting all my crypto telegram groups and will no longer participate in any of such investment plans.

I'm in a deep water. kindly please advise what can be done.
