I was recently contacted by the administrator of a WhatsApp group supposedly affiliated with a company called Zenith Asset Investing Education Foundation. They presented an opportunity to use a so-called revolutionary software program named FINQbot, which allegedly analyzes market data across all platforms to provide foolproof trading insights. The catch? You don’t actually get to see or access this software directly. Instead, they claimed you could "test" it on real trades and keep the profits for six months. However, to continue benefiting, they required you to create an account on an exchange they claimed was legitimate—Cirkor.

This is where the scam begins. Cirkor, the phony crypto exchange they promote, generates fake trading results to show massive profits. Once you try to withdraw your money, they either demand exorbitant fees or deny access altogether. A simple check revealed that Cirkor isn’t a regulated exchange and its MSB registration with FinCEN—a detail they use to appear legitimate—isn’t a license or regulatory approval. FinCEN itself warns that MSB registration means nothing in terms of legitimacy.

Our startup unfortunately fell for this scam, losing over $3.2 million USD. The sheer devastation of realizing we’d been duped was overwhelming. However, we decided to fight back and enlisted the help of TheHackersPro, an American forensic firm specializing in cryptocurrency recovery. Their expertise in digital triangulation and blockchain forensics has been a game-changer. So far, they’ve recovered 18.7 BTC into our Exodus wallet, and they’re actively working to retrieve the remaining funds. Their professionalism and dedication have provided a ray of hope in an otherwise dark time.

For anyone reading this, my advice is simple: avoid any involvement with Zenith Asset Investing Education Foundation, Cirkor, or anyone promoting FINQbot. Leave the WhatsApp group, block the administrators, and count yourself lucky you dodged this scam. If you’ve already fallen victim, act immediately and seek professional help. TheHackersPro has proven to be an incredible ally in our recovery journey. You can contact them via email at proh4ckz@protonmail/com, on Telegram @h4ckerspro, or by phone at 310-272-5326. Don't let these scammers get away with your hard-earned money.
