I Was Scammed Through Trust Wallet and Google Invest AI Program, Lost Over $20,000
On September 3, 2025, I invested $250 through the Trust Wallet Android app into a program called Google Invest AI. Shortly afterward, I was told that in order to earn more profits, I needed to deposit $10,000 into additional projects. I made this transfer, and my account balance was shown as $53,390.
When I attempted to withdraw, I was informed that I first had to pay 10% of the balance ($5,350) for “account matching.” I complied and made this payment. Later, I was told I also needed to cover “taxes” of about $7,000–$8,000.
During this entire process, I was in contact via WhatsApp with someone identified as Mr. T*, while another individual named Mr. H* claimed to be from Trust Wallet. Additionally, a person in Turkey posing as a certified accountant (Ş* A***)** contacted me, stating that for the withdrawal to be legalized, I needed to send another $20,000.
In the end, I was told that unless I deposited 10% of my supposed $74,500 account balance, I would never be able to withdraw my funds. Throughout this scam, I was sent fake “company documents” and “tax payment certificates” to make the scheme look legitimate.
In total, I transferred $10,000 + $5,400 + $8,300 USD (equivalent in TL) through local bank transfers in Turkey. Initially, deposits went smoothly, but every time I tried to withdraw, I was faced with new demands for money and my funds remain blocked.
To make these payments, I used my sick mother’s nursing home money, overdraft accounts, credit loans, and even borrowed from my workplace. I am now in serious financial distress, and my spouse is not even aware of the situation.
I demand that my account be unblocked immediately and that all funds I deposited be refunded. This situation has devastated me financially and emotionally. I urgently request authorities and Trust Wallet to take immediate and effective action to resolve this matter.
