Scam contentsPut funds into ICO for NGS from my Binance account .all the NGS tokens now sold so frozen.
I have been to to release funds need to do the following:
Dear fellow investors

Recently, we have received many enquiries from investors about tax payments from Ginkgo, so we will now provide a consolidated response here.

With regard to capital gains tax, this is collected by Ginkgo on behalf of the relevant tax authorities and will then be centrally handed over to the tax authorities. Once the tax has been paid, the tax authority will issue a tax certificate and submit it to the NGS official for listing approval.

Once the listing approval process is approved, NGS officials will unblock the accounts of investors who have paid their taxes in full and will issue certificates of funds to banks so that all profits earned by investors can be transferred to their bank accounts in a compliant manner.

Therefore, investors should complete the payment of the relevant tax as soon as possible within the tax deadline to ensure that NGS can successfully pass the review and complete the listing, and release the NGS
Comment / ReviewI have put in over £70k and every time you reached a certain Piont they would add free tokens.
So I moved money from my bank account into Binance then withdrew it to Ginkgo.

        The government agencies' scrutiny starts directly from the subscription platform and taxes are deducted directly from the investor's subscription account balance. The purpose of this is to ensure that no one misses or underpays the corresponding taxes and also to enable taxpayers to unfreeze the profits from their investments and transfer them to their respective bank accounts as soon as they have paid their taxes.

        Billy, once you have paid your tax, the tax authorities will issue a tax certificate and unfreeze your NGS in your Gingko account so that you can sell and withdraw it to your bank account, the sooner you pay your tax, the sooner you will be unfreezed.

        this is the message I received

        so from what it says its not the tax that you pay to the govt. it a tax per member which is withheld and paid to the NGS openers.

        I have just received the exact same email and the member I’m speaking to also has confirmed I need to deposit 20% of the earnings . Please mate do you not give another penny to this platform. But il I’m the same situation as you and I have no idea what to do or who to speak to now.

        • lucky111 03/04/2023 at 06:29 AM

        I have Put funds into the ICO tab on the above website for NGS from my crypto.com account using money from my bank account . This was a trade that had a deadline see image 1 , all the NGS tokens are now sold so are frozen and can’t be released unit we apparently make a deposit of 20% of the profit earnings. See image 2
        Through this whole set up I wasn’t informed about this at all.

        Constantly throughout the process they would give you free Ngs if you made deposits (see image 4) Below

        ...
        -------------------
        So as it currently stands I have all the funds frozen that I can’t gain access to withdraw , please advise on what to do whilst this website and App is still active.

          Same mate. I also put funds into this site and now they're asking for tax payment on profits.

        • Someday 03/02/2023 at 05:59 AM

          Same here allegedly tax to pay on profits. Not a chance

        • lucky111 03/04/2023 at 06:17 AM

          We are in the same frozen situation. We are trialling a withdrawal with USDT but they require a fund password or biz password which was not issued to us: any help with this please?
          Does any one know a person who paid the tax and retrieved their funds. We were in touch with a person in Tony's group who shared their photos of an East-West bank document showing the funds going into their account. This person also showed the transfer from Ginkgo to Crypto. But we can not be sure if this person is a real investor or part of the Ginkgo group.

          Ginkgo also have an US MSB Registration Number: 31000185561298 but that has been given a bad review by 'open corporate' (see photo) and given the status as non-compliant and then delinquent.

          That’s the problem… an insider showing repayments to entice further payments.
          which group are you in and what was the name?
          I also have someone saying a similar thing.

        • lucky111 03/04/2023 at 08:24 AM

          Tony's group. Do you have proof of person's repayments. Perhaps we should upload the images of repayments?

        • Someday 03/04/2023 at 12:09 PM

          No repayments yet that I’m aware of but someone has told me they have paid a lump of tax to get a repayment.
          What I don’t know is if they are somehow involved.

        • Babylon05 03/04/2023 at 12:20 PM

          I would even query the true value of NGS token.themselves. Tony suggested the price appreciation was due to Corporate investments Can anyone name one?

        • Someday 03/04/2023 at 01:28 PM

          The alleged NGS appreciation actually makes a huge difference to what the now claim is payable in tax.
          Of course also the psychological effect on people thinking how much they stand to lose by not paying.

        • Someday 03/04/2023 at 01:40 PM

          Need to also be wary of links suggesting companies that will get refund in a few days… a further scam

        I have today received a message from Tony the agent saying he will help towards the tax.

        I can only help you with a maximum advance of $35,000, you will need to figure out the rest yourself

        I also received an email from ginkgo

        Hello dear members

        Please be reminded that your last tax payment date is March 5th, missing the best time to pay your taxes may result in a penalty or even failure to unfreeze your NGS as scheduled.

        Please arrange your tax payment time properly!

        Thank you for your support to Ginkgo!

        any advise who to talk to
        bank from where I sent the fund from to

        ginkgo?

        • lucky111 03/04/2023 at 08:29 AM

          Hi Billy, did you try using Tony's contribution and attempt paying tax to retrieve your funds? Tony said he would help us but later told us that he could not help as it was not his job.

        In my honest opinion this is a scam, stay well clear of this company. They take your money lure you to make huge investment with them and they stop replying to your emails when they finally realize you can not make further payment again.

        The US slang, " a shakedown" appropriately describes what just hit my inbox today. See below ...

        Hello Dear Members

        NGS investment is a global investment and we are open to investors from all over the world. This rule will not be broken for your personal reasons and the NGS in your account will only be unfrozen after all taxes have been deducted from your account.

        Upon successful tax deduction, the NGS in your account will be unfrozen and you may sell, transfer or continue to hold the investment at your discretion.

        We at Ginkgo are unable to provide special assistance to specific investors, and the NGS issuer reserves the right to dispose of NGS in your account if taxes are not paid in full by the required time (March 5).

        Thank you for your support of Ginkgo!

        Also whats the first step to take to file any complaint ?

        • GRM63 03/12/2023 at 03:24 AM

          Go to Police. That is the first step. I did it to.
          London solicitors are very expensive. We might have to find someone in North of UK or some European for cheaper options.

        contacting FCA is a good option they have mentioned its difficult and also asked to be wary of people saying that they can recover the money because they may be one and the same. so i would suggest contacting fca for uk or fta for usa.

      • lucky111 03/04/2023 at 09:38 AM

        Hi Billy. Most important point: have your assets been unfrozen? Are you now paying the tax to withdraw your profits, if so please let us know what happens in the next 24 hours! BY the way, how do you find the 'fund password' or what they call the 'Biz password'?

        Reply
      • Billy 03/04/2023 at 10:07 AM

        He said he will put the funds into my ginkgo account, and I need to top up the balance. Obviously he controls the account so if I had more money it’s just getting swallowed up by them.

        I don’t know anyway who has got funds released. I was in the telegram group, but no one is

        answering my questions out of 57 people.

        I don’t really understand how they did this, because it moved slowly up daily. But the white paper and video was so convincing.

        Lucky 111 are you in uk and if you WhatsApp me we can talk directly

        Yes I am in the UK and have had the same problems with Tony, you say you have no further funds and he says if you can find anymore he will give you 55% back on your deposit. But now it has come to the tax situation he is saying the we have to pay 30% before our account can be unfrozen.

        • Someday 03/04/2023 at 12:32 PM

          Another person said they had to pay 20% so no consistency there either.

        • lucky111 03/04/2023 at 12:50 PM

          Do you know anyone who has paid the 20% tax levy? If so did they retrieve their assets? Everyone in this conversation group is concerned about the 20% tax and its last-minute deadline, which appears suspicious.

        whatspp picture should be the same person you FaceTime.
        I am genuine that’s why I’m setting up the group. I have sent all my emails and screenshots to refundee and filled out the form. They are based in London so I will go to there offices next week in person.

        WE asked a friend in Hong Kong to contact the phone number Tony gave us. Our friend was able to confirm the address and phone number of someone called Tony who is a financial teacher. However, the NGS-Tony we have been speaking to may or may not be an imposter. We can get the voice recording of the real Tony and if one of you could record the voice of NGS Tony (he has blocked us) we could compare them and see if they are one and the same

        Sceptical about these so called Recovery services. Clearly this is organised crime and so a legal approach would be fruitless. Need to fight fire with fire. The only chance our crypto payments can be reclaimed is for the NGS blockchain to be hacked!

        • JayCeeD 03/07/2023 at 10:51 AM

          There is no NGS blockchain. The whole thing was made up.

        Billy I lost £1500

          Same. Could have been much worse if I'd listen to the deceitful Tony trying to convince to invest more. A loss is still a loss but thankfully I trusted my better judgement

        Hello, I am too a victim of Tony and GinkGo platform. Extremely horrifying ... feel mortified and humiliated to have fallen in this trap despite seeing all the tell tale signs from the start.
        I have initiated Police Action Fraud, and also reporting it to IC3.com (US FBI agency). This is a must and everyone must do it. SOONER THE BETTER.
        Fortunately, I had taken all screenshots of deposits and withdrawals .

        Also have some Telegram chats.

        We must collectively fight and recover the money.
        I have consulted few solicitors and it is a tall order and long fight with lots of money ... not realistic for individual victim to do it. Collectively we perhaps can.
        How can we get together on this? That is a big question.
