We received a detailed complaint about a scam involving the website DHO-Ai.com. The victim was lured into investing in USDC through what was presented as an artificial intelligence investment scheme.
The website promised significant returns on investments, with transactions handled via the victim’s Coinbase wallet.
In this case, the victim reported losing over $64,000 in a series of complex, manipulative steps that involved multiple requests for additional funds, false fees, and ignored withdrawal requests.
The scammer communicated primarily through the “Line” app and claimed to be from Elite Gate Data, using the name “Humi,” an alias the scammer had used during previous interactions on OkCupid, a dating site.
At first, the victim was told to invest $20,000 of their funds and to match that with a $20,000 loan from the company to start the investments.
As soon as the investment began, the victim received small returns, which built trust.
However, as soon as the victim attempted to withdraw their funds, they were met with a series of barriers.
The scammers demanded an additional $7,200 for a supposed federal tax, followed by a $7,000 late fee.
When the victim tried to comply and still requested to withdraw their funds, the scammers escalated their demands, asking for another $18,000 to be transferred to a different wallet, claiming that this would finalize the release of funds.
The victim sent several messages asking for the return of their initial investment but was continuously ignored. Responses only demanded more payments. At this point, the victim realized something was wrong and contacted us for assistance.
The Bottom Line Regarding DHO-Ai.com
Based on this information, it is clear that DHO-Ai.com operates as a fraudulent investment platform. The demands for repeated payments under the guise of taxes and fees and the refusal to release the invested funds are common indicators of a scam. The use of untraceable cryptocurrency wallets, multiple payment requests, and anonymous communication further reinforces this conclusion. Given the evidence, we firmly believe this is a scam designed to manipulate victims into losing significant amounts of money.
If you have interacted with this website or anyone associated with it, we urge you to stop any further communication, avoid sending more funds, and report the incident to law enforcement and cryptocurrency tracing experts. This situation underscores the importance of due diligence before investing, particularly in online platforms promising high returns with little transparency.
