Can I ask how this person initially contacted you? The same person might have contacted me also.

My husband is infatuated with Anna Anna! $10K+ with her, so far.

I have a similar situation, I invested 15k, Anna wanted me to invest four times as much so that I would get back 50% of the investment

these are the scammers who scam people out of money,then there is money recovery and these are the next scammers,only i say www.ic3.gov can get your money back this is a government site but everything needs to be reported to the police first.This scamwachers site for I am very suspicious as if it was also assembled by them. I can advise you not to invest in anything else and forget about the invested money and that's it.

I was scammed by the exact same woman. A lot more money. She used the exchange coinexab.com. She use the secure communication, Netwerk telegraph to almost exclusively communicate with me. I thought I was investing into Coinex, but she provided the link and there went the switcheroo. I have reported it to the FBI I see three but they are so slow to respond. My last transaction with, Miss CHEN was on 5/10/23… I am still in touch with her. She doesn’t not know I’m onto her. All of us need to report her to the FBI so they can catch this bitch!

I am also talking with her... It started with her texting me looking for someone else. I replied and said wrong number... From there we just kept talking. There has been no request or ask for money or anything like that. But very clearly it is her - the very same pictures as above - she even sent me ones of her mother and her... I sort of figured this was a scam and have not shared any personal information like my last name, company, etc... I sort of want to see how far this goes...

cKamerongo 06/22/2023 at 04:29 PM

For others that have questions and are really wondering if this is a scan I have attached pictures that "Anna" shared with me. At first I thought she was looking to find an America to marry so she could get a green card and stay in the US. Then I just thought she was all alone living in the US and just looking for companionship. Don't be fooled - see all the comments prior to mine. She has talked to me a lot about her uncle and his Financial IDG firm - only a matter of time before she asks for money or asks me to invest...

cKamerongo 06/22/2023 at 07:38 PM

She says her Uncle’s IDG firm is located in Boston. She says she lives with her aunt & uncle in Boston. Sent me a picture of her car (Porsche), along with pictures of meals she has been eating.

Just realize this group is very very good and paient. The pretty girl they use is definitely not the girl you are talking to. I suspect the pretty girl is associated with IDG and they are cashing in on people trying to invest. Their website most likely will work just fine until you deposit many thousands into it and they will restrict you one way or another. I can add more but im still talking with them and am trying to get more information

Wow, I can't believe what I just read through all these comments. Anna took me almost 11k in crypto investment few weeks ago using a fake platform called CoinEx. After trying to extract my funds I was blocked by the platform. The reason being I was becoming suspicious from Anna insisting to add more money because a node was coming soon and the profit would have been over 55%. Anna approached me the same way, through WhatsApp and after transferring our conversation into Telegram.

I got so piss with her, that I erased all our previous chats. Today, reading through these comments, she was driving her show with several other people online. The question that still remains, is she an employee of IDG capital, at the Boston branch?

War1 07/06/2023 at 05:51 AM

don't know why they keep censoring my posts. tried to give a complete breakdown of idg and why its a dead end. not really operating in the US these days as they sold the company international data group to Blackrock and multiple girls have had profiles as anna grace there in linked in

Reply

Martin 07/07/2023 at 05:05 PM

All, sorry if I have triggered this dialog between other victims, that wasn't my intention, my apology. But at the end it was indeed a romance scam, with all the pictures supporting it, from her workplace (IDG) and the countries she apparently visited and even more one country in Africa where she donated funds to a school. And she even sent me a copy of the video...

Reply

PSF 07/14/2023 at 02:52 PM

Thanks for all the relative information. And, thanks for all the follow up including a write-up. She reeled my husband in; and he is still infatuated with 'her.' He thinks 'it's' a scam, but still believes that she loves him! She communicated through telegram for about 6 months, until I discovered the mess. She wrote to my husband that he is her future husband. He dropped at least $10K, and supposedly got most back. But he's still invested in 2 other small accounts. He gets extremely angry when I ask him to close those accounts. I'll try to get more details. My husband is a fool. Our 40th anniversary this month. Ugh. Very sad.

Talking to her currently, (relationship small talk) found on FB, I was online doing the usual stalker search that everyone does in 2023 when they're trying to get to know someone they just met and I already knew fala chen was a 41 year old MCU actress so it's obviously not her but finding this post is interesting there has been no talk of anything between us but even if there was I don't have money to lose regardless...I'll keep you posted

Reply

NopeNotMe 07/15/2023 at 06:40 PM

These are a few that I have. She stopped talking to me when i was adamant about not investing. I did convince her at one point to let me empty my account after a node transaction. My 500 turned to 690. She allowed me because i said my wife caught me but told her that I would invest 5000 later in the week.

This poor girl in the pictures may not have anything to do with this scam so its sad for that. Im putting it out since i want to help men from this scam.

NopeNotMe 07/15/2023 at 06:52 PM

These pictures were not found on Social catfish or google. So this girl may or may not be involved.

Reply

NopeNotMe 07/15/2023 at 07:03 PM

This chick will make you feel loved and that she wants to build a life with you. for the first time in years or ever some men will feel the love they always wanted and are easy pray. the pictures she sends are of beautiful women, even the girl in the video call was pretty. For me it was to good to be true. But i used her to work through a difficult divorce. She actually gave me some solid advice and listened but once I saw how much money these jerks have stolen it made be decide to begin documenting everything

If its to good to be true it is. If you ask if shes a scam and she gets mad its a scam. If she tells you that someone stole her identity and photos and thats why she closed her social media its a scam. If she contacts you via text or social media asking for someone else, its a scam.

Could tell right away it felt like a catfish the pics on FB are either a highschool aged version or a different person entirely compared to ones sent through telegram....some things seemed believable others questionable. Although I'm surprised anyone would give money to a random internet person they don't really know especially these days...scams around every corner. If you've never met in person in real life, they're probably a catfish. She hasn't asked me for anything yet though, she asked how old I was and not my actual birthday she only knows part of my first name and she has mentioned that she is a general manager at a venture capitalists firm in Boston with an Uncle...only once it came up naturally in the conversation as I asked about her work. Other than that the only vibe I've gotten so far is of someone wanting to get to know someone nothing more or less

NopeNotMe 07/15/2023 at 07:58 PM

Can you attempt to have her to have a video call. And compare the girl you chat with to the girl below. Just tell her you know shes a scam and to video chat to prove otherwise. Once you get on the video chat she will talk for about 90 seconds and then hangup. During that time take screen shots

all telegram calls are like that, you never get a full view. now a bombshell. forget idg, i have longed believed that coinex and coinexab are connected. all superficial until this

Hello. This is our overseas version of the short-term node exchange, which is an independent department.

I asked for some background story. She seemed sincere when telling about past relationships and family problems. But I've noticed she does mention that she is watching the stocks a lot. She hasn't asked me for anything, it's more of a natural talking point it feels like. Since in theory it's her job it would make sense to talk about the fact that she is checking their movements. Everything still seems sincere. No sketchyness as of yet

Reply

The fudge, seriously though... 07/15/2023 at 11:04 PM

I'll do a video call eventually, I'd rather work it in naturally to ease suspicion. Like how I got some relationship backstory and family history. I worked it into the convo.

So basically it slowly got to the point where our conversation got stale ... She wound up then deleting her account on telegram, I'm assuming she realized she wasn't going to get anything from me... I'm going to add pictures that were sent to me. And yes there is a fala chen that is an actress, I'm assuming that's part of the reason for using that name... Just going to reiterate my experience. I found her on Facebook name was Lily, she had me download telegram to chat with her. The telegram name was Anna. She herself said her name was fala chen and we spoke for a few days. Each day we spoke for a longer period of time she would mention an Uncle that worked in stocks and that she was checking the market. Once I found out about this scam I slowly turned the conversation as much as I could to figure out more, but I did let slip that I'm disabled and have not much money. 2 days later her account is deleted.

Yes « Anna » offered 15k USDT at one point in time during our chats. But also, it’s true about the risk of such offer for being « accused » by the platform of money laundering and having you pay for extra fees to prove these funds are legit…

The names, locations, fancy cars, dogs, apartments, offices are all fake. Anna Grace aka Fala Chen has numerous telegram accounts. I have discovered that there is a whole group of Chinese dickheads lurking to scam innocent people. I contacted anna to her different telegram accounts with using different accounts myself. The real face of one of this dickheads i am attaching here which is captured through video calling.

Reading stories here similar to mine. I can't wait for the day that scammer called Anna will be brought to light. She sweet talked me for weeks so I decided to invest $500k. I'm currently in talks with Wagner Andreas who is helping me recover my money and uncover more about her. I admit greed got to me and I'm so ashamed that someone of my qualifications could fall for this.

Has anyone tried contacting IDG in Boston to tell them that someone is using their company name, and possibly the identity of someone who actually works there, to scam people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars?

This appears to be the poor woman whose photos are being used by the scammers. She isn't even Chinese, but Korean.

Look up chubini23 on Instagram. Do not harass this woman because it seems like the scammers have half stolen her identity (being a golfer for fun is one of the things "Lily" said she was when she contacted me), as well as her pictures.

Reply

War1 08/02/2023 at 03:51 PM

The main defense you're talking about is John going to Boston to hunt down people who are innocent and harass their workplace too probably. So those innocent "bitches" arent guilty of a damn thing. John is chasing ghosts which is why you notice some have written the fbi with no response. The fbi doesn't chase ghosts

I have been reading your chats for the last couple of weeks. Very interesting to see different opinions from all of you, which I realized how I was naive to have lost so much money. But here is the funny part, whoever was chatting with me, admitted that « she » was a liar and suggested me to stop chatting with « her », by risking to lose more money, appearance of been « honest » for a short time. She never blocked me on her telegram address and «she » still reading my messages without responding. But what amazes me, I tried to reach out to « her » from a different number as I did before, which in this previous case, we were able to start a new series of chats but that latest attempt she blocked me within minutes pretending « she » didn’t know me… interesting, isn’t?

this is the scammers new number {617} 702 4547. We have been talking for about 3 months now. she stopped today. I pissed her off. I kept telling her I got a Large sum of money coming and she was glued to me . but it never was going to happen every thing all of you have said is what she has told me. I have many pictures of someone who is not her. But i believe she sent real picture of her naked body.nice I must say. But it was all to get me to invest in cryto crap. I told her if she truly loved me she would send me a selfie with todays date. She will not do that. So she is stealing the real Anna Grace info and putting her life in danger. I also have short video of her naked body. But she will not show her face. I told her I was talking to my atterney about her she got mad and now stopped talking

nightrider777 08/11/2023 at 10:13 AM

Wow. I got scammed too. Hundreds of thousands $$$. Same modus operandi by Anna grace. Wrong number the switching to Telegram then investing. Secret trading producing 40% profits zero risks. Now after accumulating S2.4M in my (or their scammed website) account I can't withdraw the funds unless I par 10% tax which is $240K either by crypto wallet address transfer or direct wire transfer. I was given up to Aug 15 midnight to compel or else they will freeze the funds and transfer them to HKMA. I hope the FBI can help do a sting operation to catch these scammers. I still have some window left.
Any suggestions for me?
I reported this already to FBI IC3, local police, crypto.com customer service. Later to my banks

Seems like it’s deliberately set up to prevent you from withdrawing your money, and nothing worked as planned or said by them. I deposited some funds, but when I tried to withdraw them, the funds were not there. I checked my transaction history and nothing.

when talking to that bitch you are talking to at least two others . one is straight to the point about cryto and one is all about romance, and the other is a fill in. the reason for Telegram is for the next ne to read what has been said. But they get to comfortable and don't check each others work. I want these bitches to do time. I will find a way. I dont know how to send you guys all of the photos. I hate this computer shit. But I can send the photos by text or her faverite telegram. but as the one said we should'nt use are phone connect. its truly sad our goverment is messed up at the moment

I fell for this same pig butchering scam some months back before I still looking into it more and found these type of threads. I was in a trance or something when it happened. The best you can do is report it to your local authorities, IC3.gov, Secret Service, FTC.gov fraud, and anywhere else you feel is relevant. Eventually, a connection will be made hopefully if this issue is big enough, as I'm sure it adds up. I know chances are really low of a recovery and believe government authorities can seize such assets, but anyone else reading should report it.

This is correct, they are claiming to be in that range of age. They got divorced, lost a lot of money and they are all willing to help you because they are expressing some understanding of your situation if you aren’t willing to follow their lead because you also lost money. If you use the word “scammer”, they get offended right away and they either shut you down or start to insult you.

Hello everyone this is my first time on here and I am shocked to actually see that this person is actually a scammer as I am currently in contact with her on telegram and using the fake coinw app ( called coinwhit). I have invested at least 14k into the app which is preventing me from withdrawing because I have to participate in the 50% node.

Besides that I have been in contact with this woman for about 3 or 4 months now and I called her out as the pictures of the woman you all see are not her. It is a South Korean woman that I found who is the actual girl in the pic: https://instagram.com/chubini23?igshid=NjIwNzIyMDk2Mg==

I received a picture by her of what she really looks and even got to video call with her. I will post it here
