Pyramid scheme complaint
Expose
I've applied for withdrawal on Feb.5th, but nothing reported. The exchange is through. It is a scam.
I was able to withdraw money the first time, but when I made the second withdrawal, I was told that I would not be able to withdraw the full amount unless I paid the tax.
When I tried to withdraw money after paying the fees and taxes, my account was frozen. What's more, there seems to be something wrong with the money being sent to the specified account. I opened an ESMOND account at a place called Otake Juku.
Open an account in November 2023 and deposit money. The person in charge is Masaki Tsukamoto, ESMOND account opening manager. I applied for a withdrawal on January 19th and transferred 527,681 yen as operating expenses. I heard that I could withdraw money on February 1st and 2nd, so I went through the procedure, but I couldn't contact them. I tried to withdraw money from my ESMOND account, but it remained on hold. I want my money back as soon as possible.
I joined Kazuyoshi Otake's investment learning group on LINE and was encouraged to open an account with ESMOND.
I participated in Otake Management School and was able to trade, but in the end I was unable to withdraw money and I can't contact you at all.I paid the operating expenses and taxes, but I can't contact you at all.
When I first started, I was able to withdraw a small amount of $1,000, but after that, I was asked to transfer the operating fee separately from outside my account. This operating cost is not the operating cost of ESMOND, but the operating cost of the Kazuyoshi Otake Management School system.
While I was studying in a group course called Kazuyoshi Otake, I was encouraged to open an account with ESMOND in order to manage my assets with mirror trading. I was able to withdraw money during the free trial version, so I joined at the next rank, and although I was making a profit, my withdrawal was refused because I was asked to pay the operating fee when withdrawing money. I knew from the beginning that I would be paying for the cost of running the course, but what if ESMOND refused? If I can't withdraw money, I can't pay it.
I was told that I could withdraw money between February 1st and 2nd, but I haven't been able to proceed with the withdrawal process at all. The site is still on hold.
I was told that I could withdraw the money if I paid the operating fee, so I transferred the operating fee. But now I am told that I need to pay taxes first. I said I would pay the taxes myself, but there was no way. I can't stand it.
