My name …

My name is Chris Hazel and I had just gone through a very long and stressful divorce.I was left only part proceeds of the maternal home which my spouse and I paid off quickly by means of long hours of hard work, in this time I became badly injured at one of my two full-time jobs.I was never compensated! When the divorce was finally finalized and I got what was about $125,000.00 I decided to look for an opportunity to invest this capital into bitcoin, that is when I noticed an add in Facebook advertising a company that Bill Gates and his Russian University professor started up using an advanced algorithm program. So I called the number and invested about $4,000.00.I was contacted by an Account manager by the name of Rick Green and he assured me that with a solid investment with this company he would get my family home back and much much more, he even said to me,that when this investment was over! To buy something special for my two children,who were devastated by the divorce. He quickly moved to have a conversation with his boss a man with a very English accent, and he said Rick and him would personally oversee my investment and he then requested another $121,500 which he told me he would also give me $5,000 towards our bitcoin and UBA IPO account. At this stage my account balance was $142,000 in April of 2025 and by May I was told by my Account manager Rick,it was $250,000.00 And I was ready to get out!. But that ever since I made my withdrawal request, I have been trying frantically to contact them and there has been zero response, I have since had to access an award-winning forensic firm that helps trace stolen funds through cryptographic analysis. They assigned me one of their finest agents malcolm whom I contacted at Aegis-Fortify.
Truth be told, Malcolm did nothing but professionally smoked out the rouges by tracing the digital print of my Bitcoin to an offshore account in Bahamas. Due to the complication of my case and time delay, he could only get back 80% of my money and that was a fair settlement for me. I couldn't wish the nightmare on any honest descent person ever.
I reported my loss to ASIC and my bank’s fraud department and they too held no hope before I read about the forensic company.
Do not fall for any cons,frauds,or people promising miracles people, for they are all out there to steal without care or consequence.
Regards Chris Hazel.

Health deterioration due to EL Currency trading.

After being made medically retired after working full time for 43 years I read an advert on the internet where Gordon Ramsay the famous chef was being interviewed by Holly & Phil on TV [Good Morning].It was on the subject of using "BITCOIN TRADINGS" to earn money at home! Upon seeing this & due to my new money circumstances I signed up & paid in money but upon trying to draw out my earnings I couldn't which made my health much worse.

Refund Scam

Fraudsters. They phone to say your frozen balance that they have embezzled has made colossal profit and that the only possible way they can refund you is for them to take 'anydesk' controll of your PC or phone, install a fund transfer app and then have remote access to your bank or credit card account. They are just hyenas. Thieves looking to harvest your hard earned savings. Lowest of lowest scum. No morals. Thing is the E L Currency site was kind of cool. If they could have refrained from persistently calling people and aggressively demanding more investment, that they scam, it could have been a highly functional and profitable trading service like Etoro.

Total Scam - They will take and keep your money.

ELCurrency won't let you self trade as they advertise. They have people continually phoning you up and begging you to give them money. They wont allow me to withdraw my balance. They say the minimum withdrawal amount is always slightly more than your balance. This is robbery, it is a total scam

complete scam

complete scam. if I could give it a -5 stars I would. forget about whatever amount you invest, it is gone. Luckily I only invested the minimal amount. had several so called advisors call me. Each one of them is a very good con artist. I already told the first one that I changed my mind and wanted my money back. Each time the same story. They would get back to me. never heard from them gain. until a few weeks back another person called me and told me that due to bad investment my money in almost depleted and I should deposit more. when I told the person that I never activated the account and traded she got very abusive and hung up. 2 days ago they called me again and suddenly my initial investment was back with a little profit even. figure that out. He tried to convince me to invest more so I could get bigger profits. told him to first to show me with the small amount that it works. He got angry. told me he had a guy from london waiing that is willing to invest 40000 pound and hung up on me. Very unprofessional. Trying the refund via there website is not working.can only say: STAY AWAY!!!!!

Go to the police! It´s important!

No doubt, these guys are highly criminal. Don´t invest further. Don´t answer phone-calls. Don´t look for companies in the web, who might help you out to get your money back. Some of them cooperate with these scammers. My advice to everybody, who has lost money- go to the police! It´s important. Perhaps the only way to break this gangster´s network and get them in jail.

SCAMMERS AND FRAUDSTERS

This people contacted me told how quick I can be making money, they sugar coated everything which I felt for it. I read the review, i saw all the review about them, i contacted this so called ELcurrency to have my money back, i tried to withdraw it from the platform on there website,option to withdraw was there but i couldn't get my money out. I received a call from one of them, she said i will return your money back . Since the 5th of Feb 2020, my money has not been returned and I have been contacting since then, no response. This company should be charged for all this atrocities they are committing. This is not fair. I am a vulnerable person and they took the advantage of that. All i want is my money back
I trusted them and they have broken my trust. I can never in my life trust any of them again. I believe in karma.
Do not trust them, they are a SCAMMER.
