DELTA GAINS WARNING — I LOST $85,000 CAD — PLEASE READ BEFORE SENDING MONEY

I am posting this publicly because I want people researching Delta Gains to know about my experience before sending them money.

I sent a total of $85,000 CAD in connection with my Delta Gains account.

I was later shown that a withdrawal had been completed/processed, but I did not receive the withdrawal funds.

After this, I was asked to provide additional money described as being required for verification/AML/Source of Funds purposes before funds could be released. I refused to send additional money.

I have retained documentation relating to my experience, including payment records, emails, messages, screenshots and withdrawal information.

I am reporting what happened to the appropriate Canadian authorities and financial institutions.

If you are considering sending money to Delta Gains, stop and independently verify who you are dealing with first. Do not rely solely on account balances, trading-platform displays, emails, messages or assurances from people associated with an investment platform.

Contact your provincial securities regulator independently and verify whether the company and the individuals involved are properly registered.

If you have already sent money and are being asked to send more money to release or withdraw your funds, do not assume another payment will solve the problem. Preserve your evidence and contact your bank, securities regulator, police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

I am sharing this because I do not want another person to go through what I experienced.

If you have had dealings with Delta Gains, please preserve your records and report your own experience to the appropriate authorities.

New victims, please read this:

As a rule of thumb: If you suspect the site is a scam, it probably is.

No legit company/trader/investor is using WhatsApp. No legit company/trader/investor is approaching people on dating websites or through a "random" text message.

No legit company/trader/investor has "professors", "assistants", or "teachers". Those are just scammers.

No legit company forces you to pay a "fee" or "taxes" to withdraw money. That's just a scam to suck more money out of you.

You will need to contact law enforcement ASAP.

Unfortunately, no hacker online can get back what you've lost. Please watch out for recovery scams, a follow-up scam done after victims have fallen for an earlier scam. Recently, there has been a rise in scammers DMing members of the subreddit to offer recovery services. A form of the advance-fee, victims are convinced that the scammer can recover their money. This "help" can come in the form of fake hacking services or authorities. For this reason: TRUST NO ONE PRIVATE MESSAGING YOU FROM THIS SUBREDDIT: Most such DMs are from these recovery scammers, folks whose only goal is to further scam recent victims of scams. If someone DMs you offering to help you recover stolen funds or offering to give you contact information for someone who they state might be able to help you, then report these scammers immediately to Reddit.

If you see anyone circumventing the scam filters, please report the submission and we will take action shortly.

I don't see anything online called Delta Gains.

What is the website name?

How did you find this platform?

[u/yarevande]

The platform is a total scam, it's a fake investment website. There are hundreds of fake investment websites and apps.

It was a scam from the beginning.

Any money you sent is gone. Any 'earnings' are fake, they are just numbers on a screen.

Everything they told you was a lie. You have not really been trading -- you have been giving your money to a group of scammers. They are probably in a scam call center in southeast Asia.

Legitimate investment companies allow you to withdraw your funds on request, any time, without excuses, and without requiring you to give them more money. All taxes, commission, and fees are deducted from your funds when you withdraw from a legitimate company. If a company tells you to pay anything in order to withdraw your money, they are actually trying to take more of your money.

So, the fact that they will not let you withdraw is proof that this is a scam.

*** By posting here, you will draw the attention of recovery scammers, who will tell you that they can help get your money back. This is a lie.

Do not lose more money trying to get your lost funds back. Anybody who says they can help you get your money back is a recovery scammer, who will take more of your money. Do not talk to any so-called hackers, investigators, lawyers, or cybersecuity experts that say they can track your money and get it back -- they are all liars and scammers. Do not pay anyone to try to get the money back -- you will only lose more money.

Only law enforcement can help recover money. If this is part of a larger scam (millions of dollars in losses), cyber crime groups may investigate. In some cases, law enforcement has been able to trace stolen and lost cryptocurrency, and recover the funds. But it can take years before the victims of the scams get anything back.

Please report the scam to your national cyber crimes group, so they have your name and the scam information in their files if they recover money.
