My name is Francisco Cabrera, I currently live in Colombia and I am dedicated to digital marketing. A few days ago I was on telegram looking for information about a digital token called ICP (or internet computer) then I came to a group called DFinity official Group where people were being invited to participate in a contest in which they doubled your investment deposited in 5 cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, LTC, TRX and XRP.
The minimum to participate is 1 ETH, 0.05 BTC, 1000.0 XRP, 15,000 TRX, 2.5 LTC. (All this information is on the website https:ethx2xxevent.com which is the site that this telegram group is promoting.
The group has around 7000 members and there were many screenshots of people who had already received their bonus, so I decided to collect all the crypto I had and managed to collect 1000 xrp, to be able to generate double, that is 2000 xrp.
I did the procedure that the page says, transferred to the address and after a while, I contacted an agent in a chat within the same site to tell her that my payment has not arrived. She asks me for the voucher and then s the transaction.
She tells me to wait and after a few minutes he replies that he cannot make the payment because I need to send her an additional 1000 xrp to mine I don’t know what for which I refuse to send him these 1000 xrp and ask him to return my money. She refuses.
Then I go to the group and the admin who is aware of the whole operation (because we already discovered that it is the same person from the site chat) tells me that the only way to get the bonus is by depositing 1000 xrp more. In conclusion I lost almost 1000 usd. But what we were discovering together with another guy from Nigeria, is that the people who sent screenshots of their transfers were bots.
This is the XRP address of this scam, and there’s my deposit made on June 14 at 17:16

That day a simulation appeared inside the page indicating that thousands of transfers were being generated to that same XRP address. But then do look at the traceability of the deposits, on June 14 there is only one transfer (which was mine). and Then later there are some transfers to remitano and binance.
I would like to know if you can get the details from this person. If necessary, I have proof of the transactions, of the conversations made in the site’s chat, as well as the conversations with the group administrator and so on. Also together with another boy from Nigeria who lost almost 3.5 eth and we have more evidence of this scam, together with him, we found that the subject is in Nigeria and has made several withdrawals since remitano.
I thank you in advance for your collaboration and I look forward to your comments. Best regards
