I am truly desperate.
Ambersgate contacted me several times. One person pretended to be my compatriot to gain my trust. Another person identified himself as Mark Evans from London. All of them communicated in Russian, and all WhatsApp conversations were in Russian.
After giving me small earnings from currency conversion, Mark told me that I could buy bitcoin at a very low price and resell it at a higher price. I gathered all my savings and transferred them to my Ambersgate account. First, I transferred the bitcoin I had on my Revolut account (208.76 euros, 177.40 euros, and 150.62 euros). Then I transferred all bitcoin amount from my Binance account. However, they asked for more money. I transferred funds to Binance—1,000 euros once and 650 euros once—and then sent them via ETH. They instructed me to download AnyDesk, but it didn’t work. Then they asked me to share my screen via WhatsApp video call. In total, I collected 3,900 dollars.
Yesterday morning, 06.03.2025, they told me that I needed to find an additional 3,800 euros, or my money would be blocked for 25 days. In frustration, I wrote to Mark, "guy from London". He told me to either find the money or borrow it. After lengthy discussions, he suggested that I exchange sexual services for a loan. I, of course, rejected the proposal. He then continued to blackmail me, saying that if the blocked funds were not used within 25 days, they would remain blocked, and I would not be able to do anything about it. He said the money would be automatically lost. I must either pay more money or forget about the funds altogether.
I’m now feeling desperate. Going to the police feels futile because the numbers are foreign, and I don’t believe they are in Italy. Additionally, all the conversations are in Russian. I am truly desperate.
