COTP Newsletter No. 39

Poštovani klijenti,

Dok se završna verzija krivične prijave priprema, želimo da Vas podsetimo na samu prirodu prevare u vezi sa COTP platformom i da Vas pozovemo da podelite sve dodatne informacije ili dokaze koje posedujete.

Kako je izgledala prevara?
COTP se predstavljala kao sigurna i profitabilna investiciona prilika u trgovanju kriptovalutama, sa obećanim prinosima od 3,3% dnevno i minimalnim troškovima. Kompanija je navodno bila registrovana kao „Cryptos OTC Trading Platform Limited“ u Koloradu, ali su adrese i podaci koje je prikazivala bili lažni ili nepotpuni, što je služilo za sticanje poverenja investitora.

Platforma je isplate starijim članovima vršila isključivo novcem novopridošlih investitora, što jasno ukazuje na Ponzi šemu. Problemi su počeli u maju 2022. godine kada su investitori počeli da imaju poteškoće sa povlačenjem sredstava – SMS verifikacioni kodovi prestali su da stižu, a kompanije QSMS i Tencent koje su ih slale prestale su sa uslugom. Nakon toga, pristup nalozima je potpuno blokiran.

COTP je prikazivala lažni sertifikat iz Kolorada kako bi delovala legitimno, ali sve obećane isplate nikada nisu realizovane, a platforma je prestala sa radom tvrdeći da su sredstva „ukradena“. Investitori koji su učestvovali od 2021. godine nisu dobili povraćaj novca, što dodatno potvrđuje sumnju u legitimnost operacije.

Vaš doprinos je važan

Srdačno,

Dear Clients,

While the final version of the criminal complaint is being prepared, we would like to remind you of the nature of the COTP platform scam and invite you to share any additional information or evidence you may have.

How the scam worked
COTP presented itself as a safe and profitable cryptocurrency trading opportunity, promising daily returns of 3.3% with minimal fees. The company claimed to be registered as “Cryptos OTC Trading Platform Limited” in Colorado, but the addresses and information provided were fake or incomplete, designed to gain investors’ trust.

Payments to earlier members were made exclusively from the funds of newly recruited investors, clearly indicating a Ponzi scheme. Problems began in May 2022, when users experienced difficulties withdrawing funds – SMS verification codes stopped arriving, and the companies QSMS and Tencent, which sent the codes, ceased providing the service. Access to accounts was subsequently completely blocked.

COTP displayed a fake Colorado certificate to appear legitimate, but none of the promised returns were ever delivered. The platform eventually shut down, claiming that the funds were “stolen.” Investors who participated since 2021 did not receive any refunds, further confirming the illegitimacy of the operation.

Your contribution is important
Every document, email, contract, or message related to COTP can be crucial for strengthening the criminal complaint. If you have any additional information, testimony, or evidence, please provide it as soon as possible so it can be included in the proceedings.

Your trust and cooperation significantly increase the chances of achieving justice.

Sincerely,
Attorney Zoran Miljaković
