What was reported
A California resident told the DFPI they joined an online investment group whose leaders shared stock trading signals and promised high returns. Following the group's directions, the resident said they put money onto a crypto trading platform called Ormix Exchange and saw their balance appear to grow, and the group then urged members to pay for a costly VIP plan, even suggesting home equity loans or retirement savings. The resident reported taking money from a retirement account to invest more, but said they could not withdraw their funds and have not gotten any of them back.
Sound familiar?
- Your account shows profits, but you can’t take money out.
- You’re asked for a fee, a tax or a “commission” before any withdrawal.
- The site goes offline, and the same people often come back under a new name.
What to do now
- Don’t pay any more fees to withdraw. Paying doesn’t unlock the money. It usually leads to the next fee.
- Save everything. Screenshots, chats, the website address, wallet addresses and transaction IDs.
- Report it. To the FBI at ic3.gov, and to the DFPI if you live in California.
- Watch for “recovery” offers. If someone contacts you offering to get the money back for an upfront fee, it’s almost always the same scam again.

Be extra careful with anyone offering “crypto recovery.” Many of these companies are scams themselves. Some legitimate crypto tracing firms exist, but if you pay for help, we recommend a licensed law firm that focuses on fraud, including crypto.
