GMO Miner scammed over one million dollars from me
Unfortunately, my story is the same as the others you can read here. I lost over a million dollars in crypto to GMO Miner. They advertise on all relevant crypto websites to look good and attract investors. However, upon closer inspection, you can see that this is literally a well-written advertisement, not a report or post from the website itself. At first, they build trust by letting you withdraw funds after purchasing a contract, but after you invest more money, a problem suddenly arises. Either you have to buy more contracts because you missed the notice in a contract that you need to buy four more contracts to meet the contract requirements, or there's a technical issue with your wallet address or with the system accidentally detecting an additional deposit you never made. You have to transfer the funds, otherwise they can't correct the balance because user funds are protected. They aren't willing to refund my original deposit because the system isn't capable of doing so. Instead, they told me that if I didn't deposit the missing $500,000 into their system, they would donate my entire balance. A reputable platform treats its customers differently. Here, it's all about stealing as much money as possible. GMO Miner pretend to be innocent and claim that you're welcome to file a complaint with the relevant authorities, knowing full well that it will come to nothing. I can only advise everyone to report the fraud cases on social media so that more people don't get cheated out of their money.
Update:
It was foreseeable that GMO Miner would try to have the review deleted, to make a conciliatory public statement and to portray themselves as innocent. They have already tried this with other users and unfortunately were partially successful, as some negative reviews that I had read in the meantime have already been removed. As long as a user writes their review objectively and non-offensively, they should stay put. Otherwise, in my opinion, it makes no sense to only allow positive reviews. Where does the objectivity of the review portal become? I would like to use my review to warn other users not to invest money there. GMO Miner cheated me out of a million dollars. Everyone is entitled to know that and can then make their own decision about whether to invest there or not. I have proof of this in the form of emails with GMO Miner and screenshots of my balance on the GMO Miner user portal, which was frozen there. GMO Miner is not a reputable company. In my opinion, Trustpilot should conduct its own research and classify the company as dangerous.
