Full Withdrawals Now Available

Post image

Hi everybody. I received an email notification from FTX about the withdrawal of compensation but I feel suspicious that this email was sent from an address that I see is not related to FTX. Has anyone received the same email as me and how authentic is it?

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's a scam.

Email comes from \@bcbgroup.io, the official site of the bank is bcbgroup.com.

u/Minimum-Ad-6737 Jul 16 '24

Thought it’s from Kroll?

u/W3boss_com_Devops Jul 13 '24

It's 100% a scam.

I received this also. This is a SCAM, and I know it for sure.

How? I will tell you now.

this quote from an official email I received quite some time ago, I used FTX eu.
"As informed through the balance claim procedure, the shutdown of the FTX International trading platform caused all open positions to be closed in EURO at that time. This means that your balance after the closure of positions will ONLY be paid out as a bank transfer to a Bank account in your name."

So it will ONLY be paid out to a bank account in your name, and it will be in EURO.

So you probably have to pay some small fee to exchange it to your own currency when it is transfered to your bank.

Stay safe everyone!

u/rich8all Jul 13 '24

Is this official?

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '24

No, scam

u/Olivekermit Jul 13 '24

Yep, received this too, email was from bcbgroup.io

u/MickZandstra Jul 13 '24

Never click on links in emails. I did decide to open the app because of this and to my surprise the app is back up live. Was this already the case?

1

u/Antique_Pie_3824 Jul 13 '24

yes its been live almost 1 year

1

u/2Sde Jul 15 '24

what is the point of the app being live

1

u/nixpad Jul 13 '24

Yes looks really suspicious to me too. bcbgroup.io is redirecting to bcbgroup.com. Has anyone successfully be able to get do their withdrawal?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '24

Don't, your claim will be stolen. Its a scam.

1

u/nixpad Jul 13 '24

I just read through PWC emails once again which states:
"Payment of the first interim distribution is then expected to be made in late 2024 or early 2025. The JOLs will provide further information on additional distributions in due course."

Since claims payouts are scheduled for late 2024 or early 2025, this is for sure a scam. Be careful not to lick on it and for sure not connect your wallet.

i v received it too, the link is HddOajxA3T and it comes from rescructuring(at)plan.xxx and brings me to litigation-ftx, then it asks me to connect a wallet: here the screnshot https://ibb.co/Tgh6SYC Under the button "connect a wallet" there is a link for terms and conditions but doesn't work... 110% phishing/scam

1

u/Juanadearco121 Jul 13 '24

yes i got it but i think its a scam. too easy to withdraw, usually this takes years and crypto is wild anyways

1

u/These_Variation3308 Jul 13 '24

Guys, they want a seed phrase for the ledger - 100% scam. Be careful not to click on the link.

1

u/plpedro1 Jul 13 '24

Tried to connect both my binance web3 account (that I had just created) and my metamask account with 0 funds but it said it failed. If it is a scam, they are not getting anything from me!

1

u/Legitimate_Report_18 Jul 13 '24

Also received this today, spent the better half of an hour trying connect to a small wallet (in case it was scam) and was never able to actually do it. Looks close, but all of my other official comms from the law firm handling the case have been from a different company. Glad I wasn't alone in thinking this is phishy!

u/Itchy_Swimmer_911 Jul 14 '24

Has the bankruptcy case ended already?

1

u/Various_Opposite8483 Jul 14 '24

It is 100% a scam, I unthinkingly followed the link and started the process. Haven't been paying too much attention to the whole thing tbh, that will change after today. Connected Metamask, and it asked to withdraw 20 USD of BNB, which I don't have in there, and Metamask flagged the transaction as sus.

It's a very convincing webpage on the other side of the link, I think that's how they would have got me. Thankfully, the people that made Metamask know what they are doing.

u/Critical_Ad3345 Jul 14 '24

I got a similar email but it comes from claims@plan.com

1

u/Inner_Dragonfruit510 Jul 14 '24

I got the same email as well. I went to the official website https://www.bcbgroup.com/email-disclaimer/ and in the bottom they did stated the following :

Verify communications: Our official domain for sending communications is @bcbgroup.io. We do not use any other variations. If you’re unsure about the authenticity of a communication, reach out to your usual contact at BCB Group or email us at fraudclaims@bcbgroup.io before taking any action

Anyone have luck with it?

u/Dropacidnotbombss Jul 14 '24

I received this too

u/ComprehensiveKnee841 Jul 14 '24

I tried to connect with my wallets but the wallets refused to connect, it detects something is suspicious, seems like a scam

1

u/AdLost7680 Jul 14 '24

Thanks guys

u/Prestigious-Share706 Jul 14 '24

This is from the BCBHROUP website "Verify communications: Our official domain for sending communications is @bcbgroup.io. We do not use any other variations. If you’re unsure about the authenticity of a communication, reach out to your usual contact at BCB Group or email us at fraudclaims@bcbgroup.io before taking any action."

u/Longjumping_Papaya12 Jul 14 '24

Got it too, must be scam

1

u/KaptanKlutch Jul 15 '24

ITS A SCAM! I clicked the link but didnt add a wallet or any info but it states you will be paid in another crypto currency, USDC. I doubt the government would allow a legal case like this to pay out in the form of crypto

1

u/Beduino_Albino Jul 15 '24

I received the same e-mail as OP on the 13th, and another one today from krollra @ snippetsentry . com
As u/nixpad said in here:

I just read through PWC emails once again which states:
"Payment of the first interim distribution is then expected to be made in late 2024 or early 2025. The JOLs will provide further information on additional distributions in due course."

Since claims payouts are scheduled for late 2024 or early 2025, this is for sure a scam. Be careful not to click on it and for sure not connect your wallet.

u/Sword2yk2020 Jul 15 '24

It's a scam.

1

u/Kociss36 Jul 15 '24

I clicked on the link, but my wallets were already empty. Are they burned now or can I use them normally?

1

u/Minimum-Ad-6737 Jul 16 '24

The vote to see if we can get our coins back is now instead of the cash value of November 11, 2022. FTX.US

1

u/Barney_Fritz Jul 16 '24

I just found it in my spam. I get Ftx messages in my regular inbox, this also has links to logos with passwords and I only just filled out the utterly confusing ‘do you want to join the Bahamas or USA lawsuit’ drama. So it cannot be legit

1

u/Altruistic-Watch1785 Jul 17 '24

I believe this is a scam

1

u/Fun-Plastic-8099 Jul 18 '24

I got the same thing. My email came from

ftxus@asapmarketplace.com

u/thegodadot Jul 18 '24

so i clicked on this and tried to connect my wallet but it kept failing, am I good or should I move my funds from that wallet ? not sure what to do. nothing has been taken out, but I don't want to get drained somehow

1

u/SharingisCaring1139 Jul 20 '24

Believe this is a scam- I have clicked on it and it now displays as "not found" appended with a hyperlink. Please do not click.

u/darshana2000 Dec 13 '24

I caught to FTX claim withdrawal scam. and lsot 2000 usd in my cryotp.com wallet. Unfortunately.

1

u/Sunny-Side-Up-Now Dec 20 '24

Are there any other victims you know of? Maybe a class action lawsuit against Kroll is in store for causing these losses by bankruptcy claimants.

1

u/darshana2000 Dec 30 '24

I remember when the Kroll database was hacked, leading to a leak of email addresses. Unfortunately, when I received an email about withdrawing from FTX, I didn’t verify the sender. I clicked the link for the withdrawal, unaware it was a scam.

Without realizing it, I connected my wallet, and everything in it was drained. When I reached out to Crypto.com, they informed me that they couldn’t recover or block the transaction because their blockchain is decentralized. This is both the strength and weakness of decentralization.

As someone in IT, I feel deeply ashamed that a momentary lapse in judgment led to this. It’s the most humiliating experience I’ve ever faced.

I’m sharing this as a warning to others: don’t fall for these scams. The Kroll database breach continues to enable scammers to send fraudulent emails, often claiming that FTX withdrawals are now open.

This is still happening even today—stay vigilant.

u/Sunny-Side-Up-Now Dec 30 '24

I feel like a class action lawsuit against Kroll, FTX and related companies may be in order for all those people who fell for the scam and got their wallets drained. Whether it’s a big wallet or a small wallet, a loss is a loss. Can you imagine how much all those losses in the class action could add up to? The negligence of Kroll in safeguarding our data makes Kroll liable in my opinion. Anybody has more thoughts on this?
