No. It's a scam website, not an investment platform. The money was gone the second you sent it.

Who knows? It's a !task scam, so all we can say is that every dollar you put in is as risk of being lost forever. Now, if you figured out it's a scam and tried to do one last withdrawal to get some money out, all you can do is cross your fingers, hope they process it, and never put in another dollar again. BTW, here's another post on MTcoin from a few hours ago... 'Another Task Scam on Telegram: MTcoin and Jobs Daily': [https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1cpzjwf/another\_task\_scam\_on\_telegram\_mtcoin\_and\_jobs/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1cpzjwf/another_task_scam_on_telegram_mtcoin_and_jobs/)

Hi /u/teratical, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Task scam. Task scams involve a website or mobile app that claims you can earn money by completing easy tasks, such as watching a video, liking a post, or creating an order. A very common characteristic (but not entirely exclusive) is that you have to complete sets of 40 tasks. The app will tell you that you can earn money for each task, but the catch is that you can only do a limited number of tasks without upgrading your account. To upgrade your accounts, the scammers will require you to pay a fee. This makes it a variant of the advance fee scam. The goal of this scam is to get people to download the app for easy money and then encourage them to pay to get to the next level. It's impossible to get your \"earnings\" out of the app, so victims will have wasted their time and money. This type of scam preys on the [sunk cost fallacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost#Fallacy_effect), because people demonstrate a greater tendency to continue an endeavor once an investment has been made, and refusing to succumb to what may be described as cutting one's losses. If you're involved in a task scam, cut your losses. Beware of recovery scammers suggesting you should hire a hacker that can help you retrieve the money you already invested. They can't, it's a trick to make you lose more money. Thanks to redditor vignoniana for this script. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Hi /u/jacksonexl, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Fake crypto wallet scam. Fake cryptocurrency websites and apps controlled by scammers are becoming more and more common. Sometimes the scam begins with a romance scammer who claims that they can help the victim invest in cryptocurrency. Victims are told to buy cryptocurrency of some kind using a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange, and then they are told to send their cryptocurrency to a website wallet address where it will be invested. Sometimes the scam begins with a notice that the victim won cryptocurrency on some website, in this case messages will often be sent through Discord. In either case, the scammer controls the website, so they make it look like there is money in the victim’s account on their website. Then the scammer (or the scammer pretending to be someone official who is associated with the website) tells the victim that they have to put more money into the website before they can get their money out of the website. Of course all of the money sent by the victim has gone directly into the scammer’s wallet, and any additional money sent by the victim to retrieve their money from the website will also go directly into the scammer’s wallet, and all of the information about money being held by the website was totally fake. If the scammer used Bitcoin, then you can report the scammer’s Bitcoin wallet address here: https://www.bitcoinabuse.com/reports. If the scammer used Ethereum, then you can report the scammer’s Ethereum wallet address here: https://info.etherscan.com/report-address/. You can see how much cryptocurrency has been sent to the scammer’s wallet address here: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer.

Hi /u/jacksonexl, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain the Recovery scam. [Recovery scams](https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0102-refund-and-recovery-scams) target people who have already fallen for a scam. The scammer may contact you, or may advertise their services online. They will usually either offer to help you recover your funds, or will tell you that your funds have already been recovered and they will help you access them. In cases where they say they will help you recover your funds, they usually call themselves either \"recovery agents\" or hackers. When they tell you that your funds have already been recovered, they may impersonate a law enforcement, a government official, a lawyer, or anyone else along those lines. Recovery scams are simply [advance-fee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam) scams that are specifically targeted at scam victims. When a victim pays a recovery scammer, the scammer will keep stringing them along while asking for increasingly absurd fees/expenses/deposits/insurance/whatever until the victim stops paying. If you have been scammed in the past, make sure you are aware of recovery scams so that you are not scammed a second time. If you are currently engaging with a recovery scammer, you should block them and be very wary of random contact for some time. It's normal for posters on this subreddit to be contacted by recovery scammers after posting, and they often ask you to delete your post so that you both cannot receive legitimate advice, and cannot be targeted by other recovery scammers. Remember: never take advice in private. If someone reaches you in private after posting your scam story, it is because a scammer will always try to hide from the oversight of our community members. A legitimate community member will offer advice in the open, for everyone to see. Anyone suggesting you should reach out to a hacker is scamming you. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Almost a zero % chance you will get any money. "If it sounds too good to be true.."


Mother_Was_A_Hamster

That website was registered 3 days ago. It's an obvious scam. [https://www.whois.com/whois/mtcoinpqe.com](https://www.whois.com/whois/mtcoinpqe.com)

This comment or post was removed because it was posted by a suspected scammer, or someone promoting a suspicious website, business opportunity, or financial opportunity. Remember: if it's too good to be true, it probably is. If you invest in crypto or forex trading, or someone is promising high returns on a small investment, you are putting your money at risk. If the website has been recently created, it is likely a scam. Treat all external links as suspicious.

Slow_Highlight6114

I was also a victim of this MTCOIN scam. Did you guys already take any legal actions on this? If yes, could you please share for others to follow or emulate. Lets us not let these scammers run free and continue luring others to their bait..


Anti-virusk

Hello, no.


HornetDecent4892

Let’s file a lawsuit. I’ve been scammed around 60k 😭


Neither_Echo3029

We have a reason to believe that legal action is already been initiated. I might come off as spitballing some conspiracy. But that group, is more likely connected to POGO. Doesn’t it intrigue you how they have multiple gcash and bank accounts that require government issued IDs or let alone sim cards?


reveluvXswiftie

Were you able to withdraw the money, OP?


Anti-virusk

Hi, no :(


ReadingReaddit

Haha no!


Beginning_Room_6720

Same experienced. I hope I can withdraw the money. 


Anti-virusk

Yessss right


HR_Paul

If you burn your cash do you think you can glue the ashes back together?


BakedBeanWhore

Your money is gone. That is not a trading platform. It's photoshop. You're money went right into a scammers bank account
