Certik posing as Fraud and Crime Investigation Department in New York
Recently I had a call from Edward Grant claiming to be a agent of the Financial Department that sent this following email.
hope this email finds you well. My name is Edward Grant, we spoke on the phone earlier in the day. I am an agent of Certik, we're a private investigative and cybersecurity firm based in New York City.

My colleague Victoria Robertson was calling regarding your past investment with a fake investment firm. It usually starts with $250 and escalates to higher amounts, after they get more money out of you, and you attempt to withdraw some of your profits, they just give you excuses as to why you cannot. After that, they tend to either stop replying to you or say that you need to give them an exorbitant amount to release your profits, and the platform you were using just stops working.

However, they don't just cash out the money they got from you, they keep trading it illicitly using your details, so if they get caught, it won't go back to them, but rather their victim. Over the years, the value of cryptocurrency has risen, and due to the fortunate timing of their investment, they were able to make a decent profit on your original deposit.

Currently, we're in the process of trying to locate all the funds these people have siphoned off from their clients during the years of their operation. In your case, you have lost about 60,000 AUD to various scams over the years, and this is the money we're currently on the lookout for.

We seized these funds in the form of crypto assets, and because we don't have legal ownership of them, we can't just exchange them for Euros and send them to your bank account. These funds will be sent to you in the form of crypto assets, and you will be the one exchanging them for fiat currency of your preference.

I will be straightforward with you. We are not a charity organization, we do take a 5% commission on the amount that is sent back to you, but we do not require any upfront payment. This commission will be charged to you once these funds arrive in your bank account.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I'll be attaching a copy of my worker's validation to this email so you can be assured of my own and company's validity.

I'm in the office from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. (GMT+11, Canberra time). I'm available Monday through Friday.

I'll call you back tomorrow (24/12/24) so we can continue with this.

Sincerely
Edward Grant

He also used a Whatsapp phone number being
+44 7341758699
I told him that I didn't believe him but since his story was true to my crypto I had bought 6 years earlier I thought he was legit.
He said that his associate Victoria Robinson would call and continue with the proceedings.
She rang and continually asked for different information about my contacts and wallets.
She rang using these sets of numbers
Australian
+61 489948012
+61 488850421
+61 756381628
She told me that she would call via WhatsApp +1(850)2844746
She said that I needed to open a Atomic wallet to receive the funds that they had recovered in my name and to that would be able to be sent to my personal wallet then to my bank account.
I told her to send straight to my wallet but she refused saying they only do it through atomic wallet and she wanted to test the exchange in order to make sure that I could get the recovered money in and out of the atomic wallet.
This had to be done by me purchasing $1000 dollars of Bitcoin then sending into the new atomic wallet. Then after it was deposited into atomic I would have to withdraw it back into my wallet then my bank account.
I told her the system was used was bogus and crap and they could send it straight through my own wallet.
She insisted it be done through the wallet but I have refused.
These calls are ongoing now as I have reported her and him on WhatsApp and now on ScamWatch Australia.
However as I have subsequently more alert to these bogus scammer company's.

SCAM!! They claim to recover funds from a wallet in your name and to do so they want to share your computer to scam you out of all your funds. They keep calling with different phone numbers. going on for about 6 months now.. Persistent little scamcrew.

Steer well clear of this company and anyone who says they're phoning from Certik - scammers!!!!
The lowest vermin on earth pretending to get hugely valuable cryptocurrency back that's been through the Black Market and has to go through a Declaration procedure eg for taxation purposes via Atomic Wallet.
DO NOT BE CONNED BY THEM!!!!!

I totaly agree, they are scammers.
They call me 2 time a week

People have approached me using Certik.in- email address. They put tokens in my personal atomic wallet-Busd-bdi -which show no value on Blockchain.

Received a call from a person pretending to be Molly Berg from Certik and that her company had done an investigation on a company who I had joined to do online trading with. Needless to say I lost all my money invested hand over fist. The said person stated that all the money I invested was not used for trading, but was transferred into block chain and Certik could recover my invested funds.She knew an awful lot about me probably including the fact, due to my age that I am a technophobe. She asked me to download an app called any desk therefore giving her access to do a sharescreen which gave her full access to my phone. She had me log into my bank account and from there she had full access to my account. I had never experienced a person with such nimble fingers. She first tried to deposit money into my current account from their side and told me she was unable to. She requested the details of my bank card which I foolishly provided. The attempt to deposit monies using my card details also failed. She then said they had another way to solve the problem. She transferred the full amount of funds into somebody else's account and assured me that this person would redposit my funds and the monies they had recovered on my behalf. She went even further and accessed my overdraft facility and promptly deposited this amount as well into the same account. At this point I was already in panic mode. All this was taking place in full view of myself. She was typing in all OTPs as she had full control of my phone I also was taking selfies when requested. Needless to say through my own stupidity I have been left penniless and have to pay back the bank for the overdraft used. To add insult to injury I was asked to wait until an email from a company called Binance gave approval for transfer of funds. I received an email stating they would release the payment on condition that I make a payment of R46 000 as a holding deposit. I was also asked to download an app called Atomic wallet which reflects an amount of funds available as R606 thousand odd available for me. I gave reported this fraudulent activity with my bank and opened a case with the police. Whether or not they can trace these funds remains to be seen. In conclusion should anyone, regardless of whom they say they represent, can recover lost money by any means just run for the hills.
I have subsequently found out that the actual company called Certik does exist and this company is above board. The scammers are doing a total injustice to them.

Scam. Called 8 times in 3 days, guy started insulting me after 2 minutes. Story changes every call but it never is a good story. Suckers, at least make a story that sounds good. One thing to be a scammer, but to be a scammer and be bad at it. I mean, I wouldn't want to be that person.

This is a SCAM company. Do not have anything to do with their recovery service and under no circumstance part with any money.If it looks to good ro be true it is FAKE

Recieved a lot of calls in the past from various “employees at CertiK.com” claiming they can retrieve “lost funds invested in cryptocurrency which have now reached an at least five digit amount of value”.
Reading thru the reports about CERTIK.com here at Thrustpilot, I find that all the bad reviews are from people which have done many reviews during time, but all the positive five-star reviews are done by persons with strange, sometimes funny names with only that one positive review behind them - guess who write them up: CertiK.com themselves maybe😉

Wordt dagelijks meerdere kerel gebeld door een persoon die zogenaamd voor Certik werkt. Ik zou in het verleden zijn opgelicht voor een groot crypto bedrag en zei kunnen mij zogenaamd wel helpen. Uiteraard klopt hier niks van en is het duidelijk een scam, maar ik begin langzaam aan behoorlijk gek te worden van deze agressieve benadering. Iemand ervaring met dit en tips wat ik kan doen? Nummer blokkeren werkt niet, ze bellen elke keer met een ander nummer.

When will these scamming companies end? Please beware of them

Contacted by a lady calling herself Rachel Jones and claiming to be from Certik. She seems to have information about me and she is aware of the fact that I have been scammed previously and that she (or her organisation) have found a lot of money in my name on blockchain . Allegedly the persons who scammed me have used my identity and my investment to trade, but new regulations make it impossible for anyone but me to access my funds, which have remarkably increased 10 fold what I lost!! Rachel/Certik can assist for a 5% fee of the money they recover when fully cleared in my account. -- good news. The bad news is they want a ton of personal info up front and have no method of proving that the funds are even there. Sounds very dodgy. Just noticed another Trustpilot review about exactly the same approach using the same phone number 02082577962 but with a different caller name. Also look at "What number is this" which suggests a scam possibility.

I have been approached by phone call by a Felix Price with a FXP reference 10075 claiming to be from Certik on the basis that Certik could recover cryptocurrency fraudulently stolen from my account. Subsequent emails requested screenshots of my Binance and bank account details. When I questioned this I was told if I didn’t comply my case would be terminated. Strikes me this has all the hallmarks of a scam. I would warn against trusting anyone claiming to provide similar services. The phone number I was contacted on was 020 8157 7962.

Be careful you have been scammed… but they will not recover your money at all
Asking anydesk avoid this!
Not FCA complaint after verification
They evades your questions never factual requests to pay for your so-called money they do not show the origin, amount changes each time. You do not have to deposit to recover your own money (scammed 2 times)

In het verleden opgelicht omdat ik dacht te beleggen via een platform 'Bit Centre Pro'. 200 dollar/186 euro ingelegd en nooit meer teruggezien. Na bijna 1,5 jaar krijg ik telefoontjes van mensen die zich uitgeven alsof ze voor Vertik.com werken. Er zou een bedrag aan bitcoins ergens staan en ze moeten verifiëren dat ik het ben, met bijbehorend rekeningnummer. Daarvoor moet ik inloggen bij mijn bank en dan mijn scherm met hen delen (ergo, de controle over mijn laptop geven). Duhuh, nooit doen. Een whatsapp met een prinsscreen van mijn bankgegeven, daar konden ze niets mee :-)

Received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Certic. I asked for confirmation but no email came from this company. I finally let him access my account and he sent my asses to his account. Try to convince me they were hollow coins. Jacob Wart his name. Can someone help me please or if anyone knows where I can go to report the fraud case

After lodging my last review on Certik I received a phone call from a Alexander Hoffman who was very upset. His claim was that Certik did not get anything from me, in that realm he was technically correct, they just asked me to make funds available which they then manipulated by any deceit to buy crypto which was then on the block chain. This was done thru Binance a reputable company, then Certick tried to get the money which they found on the blockchain but again they were stalled and needed another injection of our funds. In the end a fair amount of $ was sitting on the blockchain and had become stuck. Guess what, the blockchain needed $us15435.88 to unstick to get the traced funds to us which we were promised that the funds we had put up would be included. Really at this time we said no more because we did not have any more funds available. Hoffman said what about your term deposit, use that. My wife said no way and you need 2 signatures to use the term deposit. So there is sitting in the blockchain $US148565.00 plus our money which we cannot get at. However we have been told by Hoffmanthat we did not give the money to him it is still our money just that we cannot get at it. I ask if it is our money why can't we get at it excluding the money Certik had traced. Because you have to put up the $15K.
Hoffman has told us that he does not work at Certik but each time he rings my phone comes up with Certik.com I asked why Sophia was taken from the original job, Hoffman said it was because the funds were stuck in the blockchain. Common sense get my funds that we sent and use that for the $US15k and you would still have $9K to play with. No cannot do that. Trouble the wife and I haven't got a clue about crypto and actually wish that Sophie had never contacted us, as it is we have an Atomic Wallet now with about $US148K sitting on my computer which we cannot action. In my opinion do not have any dealings with Certik and under no circumstance have anything at all to do with Hoffman. My bank has now got involved and the the police as far as we know have been notified.
We assume that this is not the end of this robbery and bad information saga.

SCAMMERS!

I had someone on the phone with this company. I was scammed by a trading company (yeah.. unfortunately). He said that they want to give me my money back (I wish)
I thought I confront them with the fact that they are scammers. He starts to yell at me at the phone :P
He said a lot of things to scare me, but don't fall for them. I also confront them why they called with someone else his phone number (they had a dutch 06 number). He explain me some name I didnt here before, so I said: you mean you are spoofing? No that's illigal he said. He is very good in talking so beware of that. I told him I don't want my money back :P So he said that if I don't get paided back that they always will try. I said that he don't have to call back anymore and he said you have a sweet voice, but I don't call back again... The end..
