SCAM ALERT: "Pig Butchering/Advance Payment" Scheme – They Promise "One Last Fee" But Never Let You Withdraw
I am writing this to warn everyone: assetpockets.com is a sophisticated 'Advance Fee' crypto scam. Do not deposit money here.
The Trap:
After I deposited over 13 BTC, my withdrawal was blocked. What followed was a nightmare cycle of lies. For every single fee listed below, their support team explicitly assured me: "This is the final step. Pay this, and your withdrawal will be processed immediately."
This was a lie every time. As soon as I paid one fee, they blocked the withdrawal again and invented a new one.
The Fake Fees I Paid:
'SEC Fee': $21,481 (They promised this was the only hurdle).
'FCA Fee': $16,200 (Promised again: 'Pay this and you are clear').
'Network Fee': $24,340 (Another lie about network 'congestion' requiring payment).
'Clearance Fee': $6,433.
'Withdrawal Phrase Fee': $5,400.
The Result:
I paid over $148,000 in fees alone—money I had to remortgage my home to find—based on their guarantees that I would get my funds back. I never received a penny.
Do not believe them. There is no 'last fee.' They will drain you until you have nothing left. This site is a clone of other known scams (truecointoken.com / newcryptoxchange.com)."
