| Scam contents | Put 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 / Review | I 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.

Numerous users have reported issues with the Ginkgo platform, specifically regarding the freezing of funds in their accounts. They were told that in order to release the funds, they had to pay taxes on their capital gains. Investors have expressed suspicion about the tax payment process, with some questioning why they had to pay taxes through Ginkgo rather than directly to the government. Furthermore, inconsistencies have been noted in the percentage of tax required, with some being asked for 20% while others were asked for 30%.
Users have reported difficulty in contacting Ginkgo's customer service and have experienced unresponsiveness from the platform's agents. Some people mentioned being removed from group chats or having their contact's account deleted from messaging platforms when they raised concerns.
There have been discussions about seeking legal help or reporting the matter to authorities such as the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) in the UK or the FTA (Federal Trade Commission) in the US. However, it appears that finding a cost-effective legal solution has been challenging. Some users have tried to seek help from companies like Refundee, but the success of their efforts is unclear.
Overall, the general consensus among the users is that the platform appears to be a scam. They have expressed frustration over the lack of support and assistance in dealing with the situation.

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

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!

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!

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'?

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.

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

Admittedly a bit "after the horse has bolted" about this but wanted to share nonetheless ...
The Securities and Exchange Commission has been warning investors about the dangers of initial coin offerings and the proliferation of scam ICOs for some time now. The regulator is apparently so concerned about educating on the issue, it decided to get creative with its approach -- and promote a bogus ICO of its own.
The SEC launched a parody website mocking ICOs, complete with a (fake) eight-page whitepaper, (fake) celebrity endorsements, and (fake) team working on the ICO.

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.
