Description

Was contacted on Discord through another investment app by an investor of Wapricates.com (now Clovenhood.com) about another investment through the chatting website Telegram.com on the StockVIP chat, run by the investor (Johnny Kelly Chung) in mirror trading. He supplied documentation for his licensing to trade and we began using wapricates.com in January 2023 and the website name changed to Clovenhood.com shortly after. Upon entering a small deposit, trading was being done and I then began depositing more funding due to me then feeling comfortable with him trading, supplying training on the chat on trading charts. It seemed very legitimate, but the withdrawal portion of the website never worked and the site would constantly have problems with it not working properly. I was then placed in an “auction trade” and the trader said that I couldn’t get the minimum amount of money ($122,950.) after me depositing a total of $9800 throughout the process. Upon several requests through Wapriicates and now Clovenhood chat, they would never take a long time to respond (several days) and the fixes would be temporary, but the withdrawal section would never work. Due to my account being in “escrow” because I didn’t have the minimum amount of money, at which time the website showed that I was at over $116,000 and needed that extra several thousands to come out of escrow. After several weeks I was then advised my email and chat that they would pretty much keep my money because I’ve been in escrow for some time and the trade date will be expiring. Upon several more chats with Johnny, who states that he has been a trader for 13 years and swears by his company, though new, is legitimate and attempted to prove it with his documentation and certifications. According to Clovenhood, I would be losing my money by today because of the expiration date of the trading. Would you be able to investigate and advise me if he has a legitimate company? The website seems very sketchy, but I can’t tell if he’s being honest for is just scamming me and others on the Telegram chat that are using his services to mirror trade.
