I came across an advertisement on Instagram through a page called “A*. A*****. Turkey10”, claiming to sell betting coupons under the name Bwin. I contacted A* A*** via this page and paid ₺500 for a coupon. However, I was never given any official membership or access to a legitimate platform.
About two hours later, I was told that I had supposedly won ₺98,520 and could withdraw it. But in order to do so, I was asked to send an additional ₺5,250 as a tax payment. After paying this amount, I was then told I needed to pay a further ₺14,400 as a transfer fee.
Before I made the payment, I was also threatened with messages such as: “If you don’t pay by midnight, legal action will be taken against you and your family will be called to the police station.”
I transferred the payments to an account belonging to A E*** D***, IBAN TR37**********************51. All communication took place first through Instagram, then WhatsApp, and I was even called on the phone, where the same threats were repeated. I still have all bank transfer receipts and chat records as evidence.
Previously, I experienced a similar scam where I was eventually blocked, and again I received no solution or refund. In every case, these individuals failed to provide any official documents, contracts, or confirmation messages—only a receipt with my name, surname, and IBAN.
I request that Bwin’s brand name no longer be misused by fraudsters, that my money be refunded, and that the necessary legal actions be taken against these individuals to prevent further victims.
