Over 3,000 Mexicans fall victim to suspected cryptocurrency trading robot scam
ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptonews, Mexican media has revealed that over 3,000 residents of Tehuacán and Puebla have allegedly fallen victim to a cryptocurrency trading bot scam, involving a company called AMG GPT. The company had previously promised "daily returns" and held multiple promotional events. However, recent reports from users indicate that the platform is unable to process withdrawals, and it appears that the company's four offices in the two locations have closed.
Victims claim that they were required to pay a "verification fee" to withdraw funds, and were subsequently asked to apply for a high-priced "Crypto-VISA" credit card. It is reported that the early returns received by investors quickly ceased, with some victims investing as much as $1,000. AMG GPT ultimately stated that the withdrawal delays were related to a "shopping festival event," but this explanation has raised further doubts. Currently, about 100 people have filed formal complaints with the prosecution, and the case is under further investigation.
