Veteran Entrepreneur Scammed by Startup Partner

A bbb report about a crypto scam that cost someone $14000.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Around December of 2024, I started a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business by the name of "Future Architect". The goal of this business was to win government contracts solicited by the United States Government. I was seeking help from companies that have experience with this, and I ultimately ended up with SelectGCR, paying around $14,000 for help. I was sold into this by a man named "Adam Moreland". He was the one that got me to sign up. However, subsequently, he was no longer a part of SelectGCR, and wanted to start his own company. He was asking me to try to get a refund from SelectGCR and give him money for a business he hadn't started, from some company he just left. He promised he would make me money from it. "IF you decide to do this, the ZAG agreement is $4500 and 15% of the 1st contract" - this is one of dozens of "promises" he made but never delivered on. We signed a contract on March 4th of 2025, making multiple promises of financial return. He had two options: either buy out my equity of $12,500 or give me the option to continue funding. It is March 4th, 2026, and I have received no response. He basically just deceived me, took my money, and ghosted me.
