I saw an ad on Facebook on February 5, 2024. I clicked on it and was contacted by an “Aaron” (+31 37464372). He invited me to join the B402 Daniel Investment Team (https://chat.whatsapp.com/FpN1ALCTqOGGpVp-MBmw8b). I clicked on the link and was directed to a WhatsApp group named “AL Turbo Beta B76” (206 members). The admin there was Mia Bell. She introduced me to the group and their app “Moro Ultra.” I opened the app and signed up for an account. They taught me how to navigate the app and told me I needed to subscribe for a loan if I wanted to participate. I was instructed to click on an icon named “C2C” to apply through several different sources. I was told to choose “Nordstrom,” which brought me to a screen asking what amount I wanted to apply for. My initial amount was $50K. I then received a message through an app named “Telegram.” I downloaded the app, sent the requested information, and qualified for $80K. I received a Secured Loan Contract and used the $80K to buy stock through the SCT new coin issuance project. From February to June 2024, I was investing money as instructed through the WhatsApp group chat. Professor Burton Wilde (646-643-4226) would advise us on when to trade. He sent messages on when and what to buy and when to close. I was told my loan needed to be paid by June 11, 2024, with 1% interest, totaling $80,088.00. I assumed my loan would be paid through the gains in my investment, but I was later told this was not possible. I couldn’t pay off the loan that day and ended up paying another $5,435.85 in interest. I sent the first payment on June 18, 2024, in the amount of $4,864.00 in ETH currency. I borrowed money from family to pay off the loan and finally finished paying on July 2, 2024. I received a payoff certification (with the United States Supreme Court logo) on July 2, 2024, with a message telling me I could now withdraw my funds. I was told the withdrawal deadline was July 5, 2024, on the Moro Ultra app. I sent the certification to “MOROCOIN Customer Service” on July 2, 2024, and they responded that my withdrawal number was 203204. If I needed my funds ASAP, I could use the “VIP channel” and pay a fee to withdraw funds. I agreed to pay 3% ($35,054.91) of the gains by July 5, 2024. My funds would be available within 2-3 hours, and I should receive $1,168,497.18224. I had my wife, Laura Urias, send a direct wire to my crypto account on July 5, 2024. I sent $5K using my crypto account to the wallet address of MORO (0x67cd030018cdea8bb2ea665d909974ba537bd491). On July 9, 2024, I was told that her wire was unacceptable. After issues with the return of the money, it was finally received back into my wife’s account on July 11, 2024. On July 12, 2024, my wife withdrew $35K from her account, I deposited it into my bank account, wired it to my crypto account, and transferred it to Moro (0x1AECeF32A35ac4820c93de8953d8d0192D15bC61) using my wallet. I was told the funds would be received on Monday, July 15, 2024. Today, they told me there is a problem with Tether and that they would send me cash by carrier directly to my home, and I would need to pay another $25K for the security of the transportation.

AL Turbo Beta B76 Review Conclusion
Given the transactions described in the complaint, these addresses should have shown significantly higher transaction volumes and balances. The discrepancy suggests that the wrong addresses were provided, the significant transactions occurred through other means, or the addresses were not listed in the BBB complaint. This inconsistency is a red flag and warrants further investigation to ensure accurate reporting and tracking of the scam activities.
