Golden Targets, operating under domains like GoldenTargets.com, GoldenTargets.net, and GoldenTargets.io, is deceiving investors and stealing their hard-earned money. The scammers behind this operation, including Christopher James and Wayne Freeman, have exploited unsuspecting victims with false promises of profits. They have provided fraudulent Swiss contact details to appear legitimate. Despite claiming to return funds, they delay and evade communication. Their operations involve cryptocurrency wallets linked to platforms such as crypto.com and Kraken, making it crucial to stay vigilant.
We received a detailed complaint about how Golden Targets lures you with the promise of incredible investment returns. They start by showing apparent profits, encouraging you to trust them further. As confidence grows, they pressure you to invest more, even pushing you to take out loans or use credit. Once the funds are in their control, the profits vanish, and any attempt to withdraw your money gets blocked. In one case, the victim was forced to transfer over $17,000 through cryptocurrency platforms. The scammers continuously delay, claim vacations, or require additional steps to process withdrawals.
When our investigators reviewed this case, we saw how the scam’s sophistication increased over time. The scammers knew how to create urgency and stress, making it harder to think clearly. They even used abusive language during calls, creating a hostile environment to keep you from taking action. This psychological manipulation is part of their tactic to keep you trapped. Their pattern of behavior shows no intent to return the funds. Instead, they rely on excuses and a false sense of progress to stall you while their operations continue.
CNC Intelligence analyzed the transactions and traced the movement of stolen funds. We found multiple cashouts linked to known scam hotspots and helped the victim document evidence for the authorities. Unfortunately, Golden Targets continues to operate under new domains, adapting to evade detection.
We believe this scam is a clear example of fraudulent activity. The fake Swiss addresses, domain hopping, and refusal to release funds highlight their malicious intent. If you have encountered Golden Targets or similar schemes, contact your local authorities immediately. Don’t transfer more funds, no matter what they promise. You can also contact us for a consultation.
Scams like these thrive because they manipulate your trust and urgency. Protect yourself by verifying any investment opportunity and staying cautious. The more we expose operations like Golden Targets, the harder it becomes for scammers to succeed. Stay safe, and always double-check before you invest.
