The Pig Butchering scam
Positive reviews are FAKE. Don’t be fooled.
A perfect example of the Pig Butchering scam. Everything about them is fake. Their number. Their address. Their company. High Apex Planning doesn’t exist. My scammer is called Michael Belfort, with a weird German accent. I spent hours and hours with that monster on the phone. He convinced me. That guy deserves an Oscar for his performance.
They use HAP AG as a cover but the real HAP AG has nothing to do with these people. I was scammed for 13k. It could have been worse. Good that I didn’t send them 50k more. Their platform is a ghost platform. They show you what you want to see. Don’t be fooled. Once you transfer your crypto that’s it you’re done.
I wanted to close my account and here’s what they wrote:
“ Now your money is frozen for the period of covering the brokerage commission, the commission amount is 15% of the total balance of your account, if the commission is not paid within 3 business days, a penalty for holding as an inactivity fee of 5% for every 24 hours will be added to the commission, as soon as the total amount reaches 50%, then the procedure for confiscating funds in favor of the company will be started, after which your capital will become the property of the company.”
I asked them to take the 15% out of the ‘profit’ I made. Of course it wasn’t possible. And they have an excuse for everything.
These guys will do anything to make you doubt.
