Fake crypto trading platform wiped out my retirement funds

A bbb report about a crypto scam that cost someone $200000.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

In late 2025, I clicked on a Facebook post about trading that directed me to a link offering “tokens” that could be exchanged for crypto assets. The platform was called Keex Pro, and the company was presented as Innovative Quantitative Smart IT, allegedly founded by “Dr. DeeWee Baker.” Shortly after, I received a phone call from an associate named Casey Miller, who invited me to test a new trading platform scheduled to launch in February 2026. Training was conducted through WhatsApp and Telegram, where “Dr. DeeWee” provided early-morning sessions. Participants were required to screen-share, which I later realized allowed them to access personal information. They initially provided trading signals using tokens converted into IQCC tokens, showing what appeared to be successful trades. After building trust, they required participants to sign a Cooperation Agreement promising 100%–200% guaranteed returns. To continue receiving signals, they demanded an initial capital of $200,000. To meet this requirement, I withdrew funds from my TSP, Roth IRA, and other retirement accounts, and transferred the assets into my Keex Pro account. During MLK weekend (January 2026), Casey Miller instructed me to execute a trade but did not provide her usual guidance. The system froze, logged me out, and my entire balance was wiped out. She blamed me for “trading incorrectly,” then later pressured me to invest more money to “recover the loss,” offering to lend me funds if I contributed $50,000. Desperate, I took out loans from SOFI and Upstart, withdrew remaining assets from Robinhood, and transferred additional crypto assets to Keex Pro. On January 27, 2026, I logged into the Keex Pro app and discovered my account had again been completely wiped out, despite not trading that day. Customer service responded that I “should have traded fairly,” and Casey Miller stopped responding entirely. I now believe the WhatsApp group participants were staged actors, the Cooperation Agreement was used to intimidate victims, and the entire operation was a coordinated cryptocurrency investment scam. I suffered significant financial losses, including retirement funds, loan proceeds, and personal assets.
