A romance scam involving cryptocurrency was reported on 12 September 2026. Alpha Stock Investment Training Center Coinbridge Partners Ltd Description of Incident I am an elderly investor who lost my retirement savings through an investment training and cryptocurrency trading scheme operated by Alpha Stock Investment Training Center and Coinbridge Partners Ltd. In February 2025, I entered a 90-day investment training agreement with these entities. Participants attends classs online investment classes were instructed to deposit funds into the Coinbridge platform to participate in cryptocurrency contract trading activities. Approximately 100 students participated in the program. I transferred approximately $413,903.42 from my personal bank account through Coinbase and into Coinbridge-controlled accounts. The platform later displayed an account balance exceeding $3 million, which I was told represented my accumulated trading profits. Before withdrawing any funds, I was required to pay a contractual commission of $338,963, which I paid in full. After the commission was paid, Coinbridge representatives advised that my funds were available for withdrawal. On May 2, 2025, I requested a withdrawal of $2,861,113.27 to my Trust Wallet. The withdrawal never arrived. Customer support then informed me that I had to pay additional "gas fees" totaling $63,180.75 before my funds could be released. These fees were never disclosed in the original agreement. I paid the requested gas fees to a wallet address provided by Coinbridge. After payment, the funds still were not released. Coinbridge subsequently claimed that my withdrawal had already been sent. Upon review, I discovered that the wallet address shown by Coinbridge had been altered by the addition of an extra character that I did not provide. Later, Coinbridge representatives claimed that my account had been hacked and demanded an additional $20,000 "hacker recovery fee" to release my funds. I refused to pay. Following my refusal, Coinbridge blocked my withdrawal requests and denied access to my funds. When I attempted to obtain assistance from individuals associated with the program, including instructors and support personnel, communications were deleted or ignored. I continue to be denied access to both my principal investment and purported account balance. I believe this is a coordinated cryptocurrency investment fraud involving false profits, withdrawal restrictions, fabricated fees, wallet manipulation, and repeated demands for additional payments.
