De lover og lover, men jeg har ikke modtaget en krone.
Jeg er blevet truet. " Vi ved hvor du bor. Vi kommer til dig"

I can not withdraw and support is dead. Stay away from Mateo Rossi in Elite Advisory Consulting

Tricked me out of over £4.000, when it came to releasing my funds, they said that they wanted another £12000, stay well clear. Calling from all different numbers.

I hope everyone reports them to Actionfraud and other authorities. They want to steal all you have. It is time to stop them.

I was tricked by stingray.acs Telegram advertisement, which promised to retrieve my pilfered cryptocurrency. My "recovered" $8,200 balance was displayed on a live dashboard. They required a $490 "blockchain verification fee" in order to withdraw it. They blocked me and froze my account when I refused and requested their FCA licence number. There is only a replicated website intended to extort victims twice, no physical address, and no true support. Complete fraud.

Will the authorities remove their website to prevent more people from being scammed by them? I have bad experience and had paid USD300 for account validation fee before I can access to my recovery fund. After that the Support Ryan from Elite Advisory guided me to do the withdrawal from my Stingray account. The withdrawal was pending for a few days, then Ryan called me to check the status and explained to me that I need to pay the linking fee of 0.15BTC. He said Elite Advisory will provide financial assistant of up to 70% an I need to pay 30%. After I pay the 30%, he said his finance dept run short of fund and ask me to send another 30%. As I do not have money to send, I could not proceed. Subsequently another colleague Jane contacted me and informed me that I only need to pay $1000USDT to complete the linking process. It took me another 1 month to raise the amount . I asked for the confirmation from Stingray support and the support confirmed that $1000USDT is the final amount before I transferred. After I sent the amount to their crypto wallet , Jane told me that I will be able to receive my recovery fund in my Coinbase wallet within 3 hours. But no amount was transferred and she “disappeared “ or became uncontactable. Another support agent Michael William contacted me and said I need to pay 10BNB to recover the amount from the blockchain and he remotely access my bank account and say I still have $2500 and he asked me to transfer all. So happened that within a few minute, there is an insurance premium deduction and the amount he ask me to transfer was $1500. A week later another senior manager Martin contacted me and told me that I need to pay for the digital asset registration fee of USDT2500. I did not proceed until Ryan came back and contacted me that the fund from Blockchain was restored back to Stingray. He even get the guarantee letter from his legal dept. I have tried to call the contact number from the guarantee document but cannot get through .The support from Stingray told me that this will be the last payment and I will be able to withdraw my recovery fund to my crypto account or to my bank account within 2 working day. After paying USDT2500, Ryan “disappeared “ or uncontactable. I tried to withdraw to my Coinbase account but it was pending . What they promised me did not realised and they come out with another ruse to make me pay again. I don’t think after so many rounds of trusting them, I will get to receive all my money paid not to mention the recovery fund.

This is referring solely to "Soley" to the website "stingray.ac" and not any other Stingray platform with a similar name...
⭐ WARNING: EXTREME SCAM – PLEASE READ BEFORE TRUSTING THIS COMPANY
I want to share my experience to warn others, as this ordeal has gone on for years and has cost me thousands, along with a great deal of stress.

Back in 2016, I responded to an advert claiming that an app could make Forex trading simple for beginners. At first, it looked legitimate — the system showed me making good profits, so I added more money. However, when I tried to withdraw anything, the platform vanished overnight. My entire investment — thousands of pounds — disappeared.

Since then, I have been targeted repeatedly by people claiming they can “recover” my stolen funds. I have now been contacted by at least six different groups, all using different stories but ultimately trying to scam even more money out of me.

A pattern of lies and manipulation

I was told that my stolen account had been “found,” and that criminals had used my money to make themselves more.

They pressured me into opening an Atomic Wallet, where they claimed to show the funds.

One group pretended to be American investigators. When I questioned their legitimacy, they vanished immediately.

Another group with Indian accents asked how much I had lost. I mistakenly told them the figure — then they demanded £2,000 to release the funds. I cut contact.

Later, another caller quoted the exact figure I had previously told the scammers — proving they were all connected.

Fake companies, fake addresses, fake accounts

One woman claiming to work for a “recovery company” refused to give an address. When I insisted, she eventually gave me one, which turned out to be a café.
Another person pressured me into creating a “Stingray” account, which they manipulated to make it look like I had huge amounts of money waiting to be released — but only if I paid them.

Their tactics became more and more ridiculous. At one point, a woman claimed my stolen money had magically become over £2 million in one hour. When I laughed at the absurdity, she immediately blocked my access to the account. When I blocked her, suddenly I could no longer access the fake “Stingray” account at all — until another scammer called, and access mysteriously returned.

Heartless behaviour

During all this, my mother was seriously ill and nearly died. When I explained this to one of their agents, she ignored everything I said and continued demanding ID. It was disgusting and heartless.

The final insult

More recently, a man calling himself Lucas told me I would never need to pay anything up front, only a 5% fee once funds were safely in my bank. This turned out to be yet another lie.

Another woman, calling herself Michelle Wirtz, later demanded nearly $6,000 to “secure the withdrawal” of supposedly £180,000 from the fake Stingray account.

When I refused, they emptied the bogus account themselves — proving it was fake all along — and then sent me this unbelievable message:

“Yes, but you are not able to do anything. So our suggestion for you, go away.
– Stingray Support Team”

In summary

This entire operation is nothing but a coordinated, long-term scam involving fake apps, fake accounts, fake support teams, fake investigators, and fake recovery agents. They pass victims’ information between themselves and reinvent the scam again and again.

I am an Armed Forces veteran. My word is my bond. But these individuals have absolutely no integrity, no professionalism, and no humanity.

My advice: DO NOT trust anyone connected with this company or any of the so-called “recovery agents.” If they contact you, block them immediately.

They will take everything they can — money, time, hope, and peace of mind.

Vor einigen Monaten wurde ein guter Freund Opfer einer vermeintlich seriösen Online-Investmentplattform. Die Seite wirkte professionell, versprach hohe Renditen und präsentierte ein überzeugendes „Analyse-Tool“. Doch sobald er eine Auszahlung beantragen wollte, begann der Albtraum: plötzlich auftauchende Gebühren, angebliche Steuenvorschriften und immer neue Bedingungen, bis der Zugang schließlich komplett gesperrt wurde.

In dieser Situation wandte er sich an 𝕗𝕦𝗷𝗲𝗼. Dort erhielt er zum ersten Mal eine klare, offene Einschätzung. Das Team prüfte jeden Beleg, erklärte nachvollziehbar die Masche der Betrüger und zeigte realistische Möglichkeiten auf – ohne Übertreibungen oder falsche Hoffnungen.

Am Ende gelang es, einen Teil des verlorenen Geldes zurückzuholen. Besonders hilfreich war für ihn die kontinuierliche Unterstützung und die offene Kommunikation, die ihm in einer schwierigen Phase wieder etwas Sicherheit gab.

Ich empfehle 𝕗𝕦𝗷𝗲𝗼 jedem, der Opfer eines Finanz- oder Krypto-Betrugs geworden ist.

Åshameful company that calls from different private numbers, refusing to accept that I don’t want to pay them any money. They claim that someone has stolen my identity and created a Bitcoin account that now can’t pay out to the person who supposedly hacked the account. Stop calling me.

Fup og svindel
Jeg blev ringet op af en person fra Slovenien, som havde navn, adresse og telefonnummer. Jeg loggede på deres hjemmeside og så på et dashboard, at der stod en masse penge i mit navn. Betalte lidt penge for at åbne min konto. Derefter ville de have flere penge, hvilket jeg nægtede. Hver gang jeg ikke ville overføre penge, blev jeg kontaktet af en person lidt "højere" oppe i systemet. Lad være med at falde for deres charme. De er meget venlige og hjælpsomme. Men det er med, at hjælpe dig af med penge.

⚠️ Public Warning: Crypto “Reclassification Fee” Scam

I am issuing this warning to help others avoid falling victim to a fraudulent crypto recovery scheme currently circulating online.

The scammers claim to represent a trading or recovery platform and use fake documentation and polite agents with names like “Ryan.”
They pretend that your funds are “stuck” due to a smart contract issue or AML/sanctions violation, often referencing Russia or the FCA to sound legitimate.

They then demand a “Reclassification Fee” of 10,000 EUR (sometimes another large amount) to “release” your funds.
This is 100% false and fraudulent.

Here are the key warning signs:
• They say your crypto is being “reclassified” to the EU zone or “converted” via smart contract.
• They claim your funds will be “arrested by the FCA” if you don’t pay.
• They send “guarantees” or “official documents” with no legal or verifiable source.
• They pressure you to send money urgently.

Once you pay, the scammers either disappear or invent new fake fees.

✅ Do not send any money.
✅ Do not share your ID or wallet keys.
✅ Report all communication to local authorities or financial regulators.

If you have already been contacted or paid any amount, take screenshots and immediately report the incident to:
• Finanstilsynet (Danish Financial Supervisory Authority)
• Your local police cybercrime unit
• Action Fraud (UK) if FCA is mentioned
• Your crypto exchange’s support team

Dont believe anything they say. They are thieves and liars.

I highly recommend this company! My manager was fantastic – really clear, helpful, and friendly. Everything was easy and fast, which I loved. I had a small issue, but getting my refund was simple. They really seem to care about their customers.

Jeg er kommet på stingray platformen efter scammere fra elite advisory group claimed that they had recovered mpney I had been scammed for - They even "helped" me via Anydesk to loose 0,12 Btc wich were withdrawn to "my" Stingray account without my knowlwdge. I currently have 125,000€ which I can have transferred to my other account if I only
trafsfer their recovery fee and transport fee of 5%
So when i told then to send me 1/4of the money I would be able to transfer 1/4 of the fees and so on till I had the whole amount - No of course they couldn't it could be split up "they have rules and regulations but I was not able to see a copy of these Moral Dont use or believe anything these people say THEY ARE SCAMMERS !!

De skriver: Ms. XX,

You did not complete the verification. You deny to do the activation. How can we know we are sending the money to the right person to the right account. Please understand what activation is by reading below and give me a decision on Monday. Our payment is made only after you receive your funds, this activation is NOT a payment but a one-time deposit which you get back along with your recovered funds.

What is activation?

The step of activation essentially provides liquidity to the temporarily frozen account and is a deposit of $300 (220 EUR) to your own total assets value. You will be able to withdraw it along with your total assets value during the withdrawal process.

Purpose of activation-

Firstly, It ensures that no exchange of banking credentials occur as per safety protocols because when we receive the receipt from you confirming that you have deposited the amount, the receipt is shown to our representative bank and using the transaction ID, the funds are sent to the same account from where the activation was added. The method used to activate the account is usually the source where we recommend you to receive the funds to as the platform automatically verifies it as a safe source. However, if you do not wish to use the same source to receive the funds, your Case Coordinator shall further assist you.

Secondly, This amount also serves as a currency exchange deposit to help the platform change the currency from BTC to the currency in which the activation pledge was received. It opens the options of send, exchange and transfer on the dashboard as these options are inactive before this deposit to avoid any theft from the account by any unknown entity.

Thirdly, This is purely an administrative cost to get the authorization from Representative Banks for the releasing of funds– think of it like a bank transfer fee, but higher due to the complexities of moving crypto.

Be assured that you will receive a call for starting your withdrawal procedure within 1 hour of completing the activation and please note : this liquidity pledge of 220 EUR is NOT our commission and just a temporary deposit for activating the account. Our commission is a 5% fee of your total balance which you shall pay us only after you receive the funds successfully.

Waiting for your response.

We cannot start the withdrawal without the activation. If you decide to not proceed, let us know before 18:00 - 08-09-2025.

Regards,

Celina.
I går ringede de igen og vil have mig at sende de 221 euro til en konto via PayPal.
Så ville de give mig adgang til min konto på 50.000 USD (ha ha ha)

It’s truly disheartening to invest so much effort, save diligently, and then find yourself misled. I understand the difficulty and frustration of that experience, as I have gone through it myself. After conducting extensive research, I successfully recovered my money. If you ever encounter a similar situation and seek guidance or insight, I’m more than willing to share the process that proved effective for me.

Genau dieselbe Masche und dieselbe Website wie bei stingray.ink
Ich erhielt einen Anruf von einer Schweizer Nummer mit 076er Vorwahl (vermutlich "spoofed"). Es meldete sich eine Agentin, angeblich von der Firma "Elite Advisory". Sie behauptete, ich hätte Anrecht auf eine Rückzahlung aus dem "OneCoin" Betrugsfall. Ich hatte damit nie etwas zu tun. Ich war skeptisch und bat die Agentin, mir die Infos per E-Mail zu schicken (Vor- und Nachname, E-Mail-Adresse und Telefonnummer war ihr leider bereits bekannt).
Ich stellte dann fest, dass die Domäne ihrer E-Mail-Adresse (elite-advisory.cc) dann schon mal NICHT mit der angegebenen Web-Adresse (eliteadvisory.group) übereinstimmte.
Anhand der Angaben im E-Mail (inklusive Passwort im Klartext) sollte ich mich dann auf stingray.ac einloggen, um den Prozess abzuschliessen. Als ich sagte, ich würde dass dann am Abend in Ruhe erledigen, wurde sie ungeduldig und wollte alles sofort am Telefon erledigen, was ich dankend ablehnte.
Am Ende geht es (gemäss Berichten zu stingray.ac) darum, dass man den Account unter Angabe von weiteren persönlichen Daten "verifizieren" soll. Und damit die angebliche Rückzahlung ausgelöst wird, muss zuerst ein "Aktivierung" erfolgen, wofür man USD 300.00 EINZAHLEN muss.

We strongly deny the false and misleading allegations made in this review. Stingray has been a trusted provider of cold wallet storage and advisory services for seven years and operates in accordance with the highest standards of compliance and security. The reviewer's claims are clearly inaccurate.

Our standard verification and activation process includes a Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure and a liquidity deposit, which is a common and necessary practice in our industry. We have always maintained transparent and publicly available records of our regulatory compliance on our official website. Domain changes over the years have been driven by strategic business considerations and do not reflect any attempt to conceal our activities.

This individual's misunderstanding of our established and transparent procedures is unfortunate, but ultimately irrelevant. Stingray is a legitimate and respected company, and we will not allow baseless accusations to damage our reputation.

Do you Stingray believe in this yourself scammer??

Your not regulated

You have fake reviews in your site

You have opened your site in may this year.

No other legal; Cryptocurrency and Cold wallet apps/sites use verification of $300

Im warning other peoples to not use your illegal, criminal business site.
There is no laws/Financial institution that say you need to put in $300 . Just your scam site, requires it. No other legal sites requires ”$300”.

KYC is about sending in drive license/passport, proof of adress and so on and not ”$300”. So stop, your scam and close your site/sites

Scammers. Keep calling from different numbers and try to convince you to download some platform for you to retrieve lost funds.

Auszahlung von "gerettetem" Geld wird über einen Binance Smartcontract mit einem neuen Tedra USD.T Token überwiesen. Dieser hat Null Gegenwert in andere handelbare Coins, wie z.B. BNB. Dazu muss zuerst 1.5 % Liquidität in Form von ETH bereitgestellt werden. Da habe ich aufgehört weiterzumachen. (Beratung durch einen Typ Bruno Amato bzw. Bruno Richter von eliteadvisory.cx
