I saw a clip on Tiktok showing a TV interview of somebody who made an investment and the returns where large. This company is called Twelvewhales and I contacted them regarding investment and received a phone call from an Accounts Manager named Mia Daniels. I told her I could invest £1,000 but she said it should be £2,500 to give me more trading opportunities but I refused to do that and we agreed that I invest just £215 to test it out which I did. I have since checked my bank statement and seen that my payment was sent to a UK company who deal in Training Course for Beginners Trading. I contacted them and they told me I had paid for a Training Course. They were not involved in the scam and have apologized but have sent my money back to me. After a short time I withdrew $200 (approx..£160) as was showing good profits on my “Trading Platform” This was sent back to my bank via Kraken just to give me confidence to invest more So I decided to invest £1,000 which I was told to transfer into an account in the name of Stephen ********* at Barclays Bank. I was told that he was a Trader in the UK and would deal with investment as was a small amount I have since managed to track him down. He is not a Trader and he has not received the money but his bank account has been frozen for investigation as has also been scammed exactly in the same way I have but a different company set up This was also shown as an investment on my “Trading Platform” which was obviously false, and I continued to see growth on my account and then decided to invest a further £2,200. Mia suggested I open an account with Monzo Bank in the UK and Uphold Bank which I did. Mia opened the account with Uphold on my behalf from my computer using Anydesk and then transferred it out into an investment that then showed up on my "Trading Platform" . I continued to see the invest grow on my “Trading Platform” daily and as I spoke to Mia on a regular basis I felt quite comfortable as many emails went back and forth . Early in the relationship, while chatting, she passed me over to one of her colleagues named John who suggested that if I invested £20,000 I would get a return of about £5,000 a month. I told him that I would not do that and did not have the money and he became rude and aggressive and told me I should get a loan out. I told Mia that I did not want to talk with him again. As our conversations continued I said that I would like to withdraw £1,800. Mia said that I should send £5,000 as a minimum into my Uphold account which I could get back the same day plus my £1,800. This transfer was done on Wednesday 11th August when Mia took control of my computer using Anydesk. £5,000 was transferred from my Monzo Account to my Update Account by myself before giving control to Mia who began the process of withdrawing the money from my Update Account to make investment. At that time she should have then credited my Uphold Account with £6,800 or the dollar equivalent. She said she needed to pass me over to her colleague to finalize the transaction. His name was John who I mentioned earlier in this report. He told me that he could not complete the transaction until I deposited a further £4,000 into my Uphold Account. I told him that I did not have any more money to send and that even if I did ,there was no way I would send over more money. He became very argumentative and told me that he did not believe me but if I didn`t have the money I should borrow it. He was very arrogant and very rude as before and told me that if I was not going to send £4,000 I would not get any money back. I asked to be passed back to Mia and he told me that I cannot talk with her anymore and had to deal with him in the future. He did pass the phone back to Mia who told me that she listened to the whole conversation, apologized and said this is not what should have happened and nobody can take her clients from her or stop me speaking with her. She said she would speak to somebody with more authority and promised that I would receive the money by the end of the day. I tried contacting her again on her direct line but it was John who picked up the phone and said “Hi Mike, I told you that you can no longer talk with Mia and unless you send £4,000 you will not get any of your money” The £5,000 taken from my account does not show up anywhere on my Trading Account I called again later and the same thing happened, he answered the phone and was very abusive. I then sent an email to Mia`s email address but it was returned undelivered as it had been marked as spam. I called Mia`s direct line the following day and John picked the phone up so I recorded the conversation where once again he tells me to send another £4,000 to my Uphold Account or I would not get any money back. Once again he was very rude and arrogant. Please take notice and do not invest any money with this company. I made the mistake of ignoring all the bad reviews, do not do the same. time and that I
