Bank of America Scam – Fake Investment Firm Blocked My Funds & Cut Communication

I invested with a company operating under the name BAYB (Bank of America Yatırım Bank A.Ş.), which claimed to be licensed by SPK and assured that our investments were guaranteed by Bank of America (BoFA). However, when I tried to withdraw my earnings, I was told I needed to pay a 30% commission upfront before receiving my funds.

After paying the commission, I was promised my withdrawal would be processed within a specific timeframe. But once the deadline passed, I attempted to contact an assistant named G** G** via Telegram, only to find that they had cut off all communication.

Realizing something was wrong, I saved screenshots of my conversations. When I reached out to customer service, they immediately removed me from their group, deleted my messages, and blocked my access to their platform.

Bank of America must take responsibility for allowing its name, logo, and branding to be used in such fraudulent activities. They should immediately file a criminal complaint against those behind this scam.

I will also be filing a legal complaint to hold those involved accountable. Investors, beware of this fraudulent scheme!
