Crystalead Review

Read our Crystalead review carefully to understand why this website is a scam. Just to clear doubts this is a king-banner.com review.

Who are they?

If you take a look at their website really carefully you would notice that they don’t really show who they are and that is a MAJOR RED FLAG!! They have a fake address based in Norway and an About us page that doesn’t really tell much about them. That should be enough for you NOT to invest with them. And they also work with websites that offer “Automated trading software” which is another red flag, as this kind of websites are notoriously famous scammers.

What do they offer?

They offer self-service online marketing campaigns, meaning you invest with them create a campaign and then watch the money flow into your account. And basically you sit back and make a lot of money by doing nothing. Does it sound too good to be true? IT IS!! Please DO NOT fall for such lies and schemes that offer a lot of money without having to do anything. They are all scams!!!

How does the scam work?

Although we didn’t sign up with their service is actually quite obvious to us how this scam works. After registering in their website they will call you right away and try to convince you that you can make a lot of money with their service. After you deposit, they will show you some profits so they can lure you into investing more for higher returns. Everything so far will seem fine to you until you submit a withdrawal request and here is when things get tricky. When you submit a withdrawal request they will do anything they can to make you continue investing with them and they will delay the withdrawal process as long as they can, or even come up with other lies like they went bankrupt or got hacked, but they will not give your money back.

How to withdraw your money

The first thing you need to do is submit a withdrawal request. There is a high probability that they will try to convince you to do the opposite and continue working with them. Please make it clear that you want to withdraw. They will delay the withdrawal process as long as possible. If they delay it long enough, you won’t be able to withdraw anymore.
So if they delay it for more than a week or two, they clearly don’t want to refund your money. In this case, contact your bank or credit card company to arrange a chargeback. If you do not know where to start or what to say to your bank please contact us at [email protected] and we can help you prepare your case.

What about wire transfers

If your payment method was a wire transfer, there is no way to make a chargeback on a wire transfer. For this step you have to take the fight to another level. Tell them that you will go to the authorities and file a complaint against them. This will make them to rethink the reimbursement option.

Leave reviews about Crystalead wherever you can

Another way to hurt them is to leave bad reviews on other websites and briefly describe what happened. This way you can also save other people from falling victims. If you have become a victim, please leave a review and comment on this page in the comments section.

Crystalead Review Conclusions

It’s a pleasure for us to do the Crystalead review, and we hope to keep as many people as possible from losing their hard-earned money. A good rule of thumb is to carefully review all companies before making a transaction. And be careful with websites that offer “Get Rich Quick” schemes. We hope that our Crystalead review was helpful for you. If you have any questions or need advice on the withdrawal process, you can contact us at [email protected].

  1. Crystals as has done exactly what you had said. I am now attempting to try and get a chargeback from my bank as Crystalead accounts manager has told me twice he would return my money. Why twice like you said they don’t want to give your money back. I was desperate to find away to make fast money because of my financial situation. I took a chance and although I didn’t invest a lot of money, I’m still worst off than where I started. Do not invest in Crystalead.com

  2. This company is awful My first call to them they spent an hr explaining the company then proceeded to try to get a bigger investment from me after clearly saying I wanted to do some more research and consider a further commitment the sales rep became verbally abusive claiming I had wasted his time and didn’t give a shit about my lousy $ 200.
    They are a scam I have unsuccessfully attempted to get a refund to date

  5. I have been very badly treated by Crystalead like every one else. I did place a lot of money with them and have not gotten anything back. Just a lot of run around and nothing for the last 4 weeks. They are not returning requests for help or information on how my accounts are doing.Wayne Weidemann

  6. Exactly true .I place lots of money here and they also showed my accounts online that i am earning. I requested to widraw a money to send back home for my family because they were on lock donw. Until now nothing, they asked me to deposit again and again to expedit the request. And im so helfless because nothing response. I dont know what im gonna do especially we have this pandemic really hard for me to earn money and i tried this hoping to help my financial needs. Vangie Erfe

  7. I too have been scammed, They have lied to me from the start. They have my money know and will not give me back ($10,000) out of ($48,000) that was invested in December 2020. They were calling all the time wanting more money, saying if I did my money would be given back sooner. Since than they have assigned to me a person who is a account senior that is trying every trick not to give me back my money. They have lied, tried to trick me with what they said a bonus that would have tied up for a other 6 months.
    You no the more I look in to Crystalead the more problems I find.
    It has become apparent that there is a lot of people out there that have this same problem, should we organize and start a CLASS ACTION SUIT.
    Let me know what you think.

  8. I am in the same boat. In the beginning there was a very nice gentlemen explaining that I should more invest in order to get a big return. My problem was that I had a hard time understanding what he really said. After that a lot of people called to get more money. My account made money in the meantime. Someone called me and used all this money up for new campaigns.
    When I wanted to close the account he told me I have to wait 6 months and have to have campaigns running until then. Someone found a bonus for me to make more campaigns. Finally I managed to make my own campaign with as little money as possible.
    At the end of 6 months there are $2300.- left to apply for a withdrawal. I did that three times with no answer and no new phone calls anymore. No answer in the Chat area, no answer on emails at support until today where User Support wants to contact me in 48 hours. By then the 6 months are over. Let’s see what happens.
    I cannot give a rating yet but will let you know how it turns out.

  9. I have been scammed by two characters at Crystalead. One identified himself as Lloyd K and the other as Jerrod. stated they were based in London, England. Trying to establish a time to talk about my investment and enroll in their program became a huge issue. When conference calls were agreed upon, I waited 2 to 3 hours after the designated time with no callback….days later either or would contact me. ..

    Never had an account set up. During my last phone call with Lloyd, I suggested he just return my money. He apologized yet again. When I started to ask questions regarding the negative report issued by CNBC regarding the plummetting cypto collapse of bitcoin he became angry and verbally abusive. When I attempted to discuss the very high cost of the terawatts required to produce bitcoin he hung up on me. I tried to call back on the number registered on my phone. No surprise it was an outbound number only. I have sent emails demanding my money be returned and advised that anything less constitutes fraud. Of course, no response.

    What authorities to I contact in order to rock the boat of these horrific scammers. I think a class action suit is a great idea. This is wrong. Wrong has to have consequences.

  10. Hi Randy McBride is their a way that we can get our money back that we invested. Because same situation happened to me. They asked me to have another campaign open but still my withdrawal was not in yet. I invested here in this company February and when i asked my withdrawals April for 10,000 they said a problem in the black chain and really cause the delays. Until now nothing happen.

  11. Crystalead is a terrible company that steals people money left and right.
    they manipulate the results, steal all your money right to your face and when you try to withdraw your money they come up with a whole bunch of excuses saying why you cant withdraw it. Stay away from them!
    With all supporting evidence to prove and a team of investigators like zenithlegalrecovery.com, I went after my money and I’m glad to tell you guys I finally got my money back. Please don’t give up.

  16. Crystalead.com are scammers pls don’t share your computer screen or phone device with them .. they will wipe out all your money .. they will generate a fake number code to always acknowledge by you when ever they call you.. you will think they are genuine… they will enter you and sweet tongue you until they wiped out all your money they wiped out my $2,000 Canadian via shake pay.. they later sent me email requesting for account verification with them … they want to collect more money from me… they will start small by telling you to invest in Amazon stock trader online!!! Pls Canadians don’t ever invest your money with crystalead they are big and organized scammers

  17. Hi I registered with this company a couple days ago and didn’t realize it was a scam. Does anyone know if it’s possible to get the initial payment back from them? I missed the follow up calls so can’t get in touch with anyone there and the initial log in password doesn’t work and a password reset link hasn’t came even after several attempts.

    Can anyone help me to get in touch with them? My email is [email protected]

  18. Crystalead scam me 7000 $ something need to be done to shut down this big scammer and make sure that they give back all the money they steal from people. For that a class action need to be set up.The send me a settlement doc to sign that I can suit them, guess how much was the amount $200, when they own me 7000 $
    my lawyer was very happy to grab that document. Nobody should never fall for that big scammer, i can believe that they have a licence!!

  19. I had the same issue with Crystalead. After I registered & deposit $250USD, I had a phone call, his name’s Dean Harris, he told me deposit another $2500USD from my bank account etransfer to Shakepay app to buy the bitcoin & after I bought the bitcoins he told me sent the bitcoins to wallet address that he sent to me. The day after he called again & ask more information about me & my family, I have a phone call almost everyday , I need to tell him I don’t have time for answers everyday & talk long hours, he doesn’t want to hang up the phone, because he want more info. about my job, what am I doing for living….Then he call every week & asked me deposit more money, he said the more I invested money the more I have huge profits. I started to invest with Crystalead from May 18/2021till June 10 totally $6450USD, they gave me bonus $3500USD, but DEAN told me invest small money in the beginning & just buy stock $3600 I still had $2850 left in my account. the balance account $11300USD(including the profits) After 1 week he called me again & asked more money, I told him I don’t have money to deposit $2500USD every week, when I said I stop invest, he was so rough, we had argued that day & I hang up the phone. He called me everyday just ask deposit more money, now I don’t answer the phone. I requested withdraw the money 2 weeks ago, they sent me $250 , they ignore the amounts money I have requested. Now I login to my account it said expired . I email him and asking about withdraw the money he didn’t respond. Can someone know the way to have my money back from Crystalead please help? (it’s $10000 Canadian dollars)

    Don’t invest money with Crystalead , they are big SCAM, avoid them.

  21. I startd with crystalead in jan 2021with the promise of good returns and the so called company matchd my investment it showed a good profit initially on paper.I was new to this and was just lookn 4 a second income for my retirement along the way I was contacted by a broker claiming to be with this company and needed to have my campaigns managed being new to this I proceeded with his request of a further $8,000 on top of my $4,200 with them they withdrew $2;000 and fortunately for me my bank stepped in and blocked my account.i tried to recover that and was told for that to happen I had to complete the initial total transaction and then once completed it wld be reversed and I wld receive it all back .Red flags started rite there and I was not risking any further loss and accepted it was gone.He continued to ring me on a daily basis 4 a long period.My campaigns ran there course in early june and made a small profit so I requested a total withdrawal as I was mentally stressed after all that had happened,this is when the fun begins now I have been dealing with these guys all south African from there accents u have an acc manager who passes u onto campaign manager and another all chatting away to u about your life like an old friend until finally a mother who is to handle my withdrawal he proceeds to tell me that I have made a profit of $75-$100,000 in dodgecoin .really Wow I only have $4,000 in my account that’s impressive but in order to get that I have to pay in up to $10,000 depending on his calculations for conversions,commissions etc
    All I want is my $4,000 the rest is a joke .So unless I pay in more I wont ever get my money back .This company will take all they can from u without a thort STAY AWAy

  22. I was contacted by Jarrod s Smith then by another Harris, I gave them $250 USA, $ 319.00 Canadian, they sent all my info to shakepay now I am on limbo. Scammed?

  23. My last experience with Crystalead after the third request to Withdraw my earned money was a phone call from their financial department. They cannot send a money order or deposit on my credit card. The only way would be digital to a coin wallet. I have an account with coinbase. He said it was not good enough because I could only receive $300.- and he wanted to send me $3000.-. He opened me an account at netcoins and another one at coinsmart. They can only send money via blockchain. In order to do that I was supposed to send to Crystalead $3000.- to establish the account. They would send the money back and then I could get the money from my Crystalead account in segments of $3000.- each. I did not see the reason for that and stopped the conversation not to send more money. The whole thing sounded very fishy.

  24. Michele LaPlume
    Don’t go anywhere near this company they don’t return your money. Huge and complicated scam. Kept telling me I needed to send more money in order to “up my limits” only then they could send me money.
    Class Action Law Suit sounds good.

  25. My concern is that Shake Pay is a big Canadian company, when they register you is through Sake pay, how can they still do business, accepting to deal with Crystalead when they know that is the big Scammer fake Cie?
    I think that Shake Pay should be accountable by allow Crytalead to scam people through them. I think we should all get together and put mass class action to Shake Pay. Canada is such great country, and the autority should know what is going on with all these scammer Cie through Sake Pay.

  29. Hi Lara,
    Can you tell everybody here how you had your money back, that would be helpful to everybody that get scam with Crystalead . Thanks

  30. Thank you Lara, that is helpful.
    If some are getting their money back, that mean we are able to hurt Crystalead so bad, we just have to get together or all contact Lara helper. Thanks

  31. Lara how did Crystalead return your money? Did it go through Shakepay or was it paid to Simon Hank. I am afraid of jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Is Simon Hank a legitimate company?
    I sent a lot of money to Crystalead and got the same treatment and I am looking for help in getting it back.

  32. Simon asked me for documents to prove loss of funds I provided him with it and made the necessary fee involved . He came through after a week I got the refund directly. I have every confidence that you will get yours too.

  33. This is also my story. He took over my computer to help me navigate through the crypto world. Said they would up my investment with a 1500.00 Bonus. I had to sign to say that i understood this was not my 1500.00. So with my $3600 and their $1500 i was at a Gold level. Seemed to be making tons of commission. $6400 in only a few months. Doing great right!!! WRONG!!!!!until I needed a few dollars. They kept giving me the run around, said they would have to ask supervisor, then asked for more money to increase my leverage. Then told it would take 10 days to get me maybe a 1000.00 of my money. Never have i ever received a dollar. I have been threatened by a lawyer. Then told my bonus agreement was that i can have any access to my funds for 6 months is i make a certain amount of money. Now being offer $350.00 to close my account and walk away and I should feel lucky…Family member with a heart attack and new Grandbaby and this is what they offered me given my situation.

  34. Wish I had read this before investing. Initial deposit in Nov 2020 and it has been the most frustrating process I have ever been through. Asked for my money back several times. I need to take more direct action but not sure where to start.

  36. Julie – I have some ideas – they are a bit radical. would you be willing to talk off-line about our experiences and brainstorm ideas?

  40. they are indeed a scam i originally invested $4,000 which generated $20,000 over 5months when i requested withdrawal it becomes very difficult client relations will contact u claiming to assist u then proceed to send u a copy of the bonus contract that u have signed,which has been doctored in the wording it states that in order to be able to withdraw u must have generated 50 times your investment that means i needed to have generated over 200,000 to qualify but if i signed a waiver on my account they would refund 500.00 US in my account which surprizingly they did.I also beleive they doctor your trading account as some days whilst trading didnt add up.lost $3,500 bad experience but wiser 4 it.Evrybody stay well clear of this crystalead scam

  41. with all of us getting scammed and losing money we can’t afford to lose … isn’t there something we can collectively do? Seems to me that we need to do something and that we would be stronger and more creative (and have more resources) if we could put our heads together and actually do something – rather than get angry, and complain (and in my case – feel feel sorry for myself).

  47. We were scammed as well for almost 40,000 Canadian dollars. They keep on saying we would receive a deposit but would have to invest again and get a bonus. At one time we did receive 1000.00 and this has been since November 2020.
    These people are scammers and ruining peoples lives.
    Any information you could provide would be great.
    They have contacted us and tell us that we can’t get anything until August 10, 2021 that is when bonus is over.
    Would be interested in a class action lawsuit as well.

  51. They are nothing but a run around , how did you get your money back?
    Like you said they give you nothing but a run around.
    Interested in what you did.

  52. Still wondering what people can do to try and get some money back. I can’t believe the run around and they don’t give a shit of your circumstances.

  56. Lara – have you used Simpn Hanks to get your money back? Could you contact me directly because I am concerned about putting more money into this after ‘loosing ‘ the money to Crystalead.
    John Ghent
    416-997-8749

  57. Lara interested in more information regarding using Simon.
    Could you please respond or give me some contact for him.
    And John Ghent I agree with you a little hesitant about putting more money out there to lose again

  58. I contacted one company (somebody @ protonmail….) that is doing a class action lawsuit against Crystalead, and they require $800 to join the class action. I really don’t want to spend any more $$ on this! I have a few more lines in the water, so I will post what they say (if they reply).

  59. OMG….

    I can’t believe this? We have been SCAMMED $70,000 US dollars. After reading all the comments our story is exactly the she. My wife has been emailing for two weeks and no response because we asked for a withdrawal (small amount only). They also told us out of the $70,000 we out in (VIP) package something happened and it got wiped out?? It’s all BULL SHIT. They will suck you dry just to feed their families….the sad part is karma will get them. They take omyiu of your money to feed their kids???

    Not good karma fir the kids!

    Please help in any tips to recover sine of my money bank?

    Please please please help…

  60. Lara could you explain a little more about Simon like is he a lawyer, how much does he charge and what exactly he did for you?
    Any information would be greatly appreciated

  63. Hi Laura, i have also been scammed by crystalead. I have invested over $18000 and have tried to get a withdrawal but was unsuccesful like all the other folks. This is certainly a great idea to file a class action law suit. Not only did they show how much profit my investment was making to the tune of over $40,0000.. I also had to pay $8000 as commission so that i would be able to receive a withdrawal which did not materalize. Please, please, lets all get together and make this happen we have to shut these scammers down, it could also affect our children as they get older.I also think that the shake pay Canadian exchange should be liable for doing business with these fradulent punks.

  66. In addition to getting scammed by Crystalead i found out there are other scammers preying on people who have been scammed. There is one company called alphawide.tech that I found on another forum supposedly suggested by someone that they helped… they are just another scammer trying to get your money. They claim to recover bitcoin taken by crystalead. It is just another scam to get you to send them money for their “service”.

  67. Julie no I did not contact Simon as of yet. We wanted to say what they tell us at the end of September. As this is supposedly when our campaigns are over.
    Anyone else contact Simon?

  68. I have contacted Simon and he has requested my evidence, which I have sent him (screen shots of the bitcoin transfers, etc.) Hopefully he can do something with it.

  75. Lara it’s great to know that you have recovered all of your money from Crystalead. I am sure a lot of people would appreciate if you can provide some insight about Simon. Like how to contact him, email address or where he’s located. Is he in North America or in Europe. I personally would really appreciate if you can provide the above information. Maybe I can or a whole bunch of people on this forum can use his services. Thx.

  76. Ok fellow victim’s this is your chance, I have checked with Ontario Security Commission and Crystalead is not registered with them or any other place in Canada. This means they are not allowed to deal by law in Canada. The Security Commission is going after them big time. This means they will be shut down here and charged therefore not allowed to scam any more in Canada however this does not get us our money back, the security Com. recommended to contact a legal specialist in international law and Security’s and I have. It is going to cost some money, however this cost can be shared and there is at leat 78 of us, so it should not be to bad.
    Should you have the desire to recoup your money please contact me. I will need your name, email address and phone number (time is of the Essent’s) so please move quickly.

  77. Hello Randy, I am in! Please let me know, approximate, the charges involved as I do not want to invest good money after bad. Please call me when you have time at 416-417-1751 and we’ll go from there.

  81. I have not had a great experience with ‘Simon Hanks’. I risked some money engaging him and after a week, there was a promise of a wonderful result (my initial investment plus the balance plus an additional amount due to interest) but I was required by the US Federal Trade Commission to forward another 16% of the total award before the money could be released because I was a non-US citizen. This is highly suspicious in my mind and there has not been a adequate verification of the FTC requirement.

    Lara – whoever you are – you recommendation stinks.

  82. Hi Folks, Please DO NOT use this site to ask questions!!! this site belongs to Crystalead. They check it!!!
    I have given you my email address and Phone Number and I will again, they need not to know what we are doing. I will not talk to you on this site. My phone # is 519-854-5114 Thank you.

  83. After corresponding with Simon Hanks for a bit I asked to talk on the phone, which he agreed to, but never called. I suspect he’s another scammer hoping to scam victims of Crystalead.

  86. Jean – I would be interested in talking with you how you got a good a result from Simon. That has not been my experience to date. My phone number is: 416-997-8749. I expect I will not be hearing from you because you may be league with Simon / Crystalead. But if I do hear from you and get a positive result from Simon, I will post it on this page a apologies for my scepticism.

  87. I would like some help in getting my money back as well. I do not have any money left to give to any party and might have to declare bankruptcy because my Cred Card and line of credit are maxed out. Please help — anybody ???

  89. Is there a Crystalead Class Action suit to join?
    I have been dragged through all of these details. I am owed thousands in what they post as Profit online. !! There website server is down/out/gone!!??

  91. I contacted Simon Hanks. Forwarded his fee to him with his assurance that I would get my money. Did he do what he said? Not a chance! From my experience, Simon Hanks is just another scammer and possibly a spin-off of the Crystalead scam.

  93. Hello Donna.

    Yes I think several people got a similar call and are also trying to settle with a small amount of money (slap in the face).

    Could be all a gimmick…don’t trust these low life’s!

  94. Yes you’all righ! Big SCAM! They always want you to put more money, i did send them half of one of my crypto that worth 10,000$ now.. damn!! One big BAD descision i’ve take

  95. Yes, I got the same phone call from them, offering me 8 cents on the dollar back ($400 of the $5700 I gave them).
    I also contacted a person who writes articles about scammers like Crystalead (i.e. BitQL, BitXT, etc.) and he says there is really no way to recover the money. The “recovery companies” are an even bigger scam.
    Chalk it up to an expensive learning experience I guess.

  96. I have lost over $20,000 USD of my money after working 6 months on Reinvesting investing commissions plus the supposed payback from Campaign Payments and Clicks recorded and confirmed to me Aug 30. By supposed head of Finance . In September I was supposed to get three transfers of $10,000 But was told it was hung up in a Blockchain on its way to me. I finally kept investing until my email told me they were closing the website and to contact them. I did and was offered the amount I invested after the last email report dated October 30, 2021 a mere pittance on my now account like 1%. The letter that came was dated Nov 27 They close Nov 30. The note stated if I sign it I waive all future claims.I did not sign it, said I would report them to the authourities and I have. The address online was in Ireland so I went to RCMP, local police and will continue. Class action can be started I am told by the POlice Authourities once they find the people.
    I was told it likely is not criminal but Civil suit. So keep your correspondence. Verbal statements really mean nothing I am told. Now my Crypto wallet has cut me off as well.
    Learned a lot here.

    against the,

  97. Hi I just got scammed by this company for 15k every time I asked for a withdrawal they asked for more money now they are saying due to COVID-19 they are closing their door can any one help me out.Thank you.Larry Senenkol I

  99. I send them 250$ of my crypto 6 month ago that worth 10 000$ today grrr… I know i’ve got no control on the crypto value lol.
    Calling me multiple times every weeks telling me to put more and more money, asking me multiple time if i had more money maybe in another account or if i had more crytpo so… that was kind of abusive
    Since i know they are a tremendous elaborate SCAM, their website is down and i can’t get back anything.
    I want to joint any class action suit if it’s still possible.

    ps.. I don’t want them to fool people anymore and make more victim, they might find a nother way to scam people if nobody stop them.

  100. Geoff you are right about recovery scammers, one company to avoid is Caltechoperations.com. They will tell you they have recovered your money plus profit and will take 20%. They want you to set up an account on Blockchain.com and open a wallet so they can put the funds recovered in Bitcoin. Then they will want access to your wallet as it will be part of the program they are writing to move the funds into your wallet account. They first ask now that they will need 10% of the recovered funds up front for write the program, you say no then they say they tried and say good-bye. A couple days later they contact you and say the firm will either send you a cheque or put money on your credit card to by Bitcoin to put in your wallet. You ok the part to put money on your credit card, they ask which card you are using and then tell you they can’t support that card. Could you just buy $1000 dollars of Bitcoin and put it in your wallet account and this will activate the algorithm the the whole process will take about 45-60 minutes. Guess what, they have access to your wallet and the Bitcoin is gone in seconds. Avoid.

  101. All those comments are true – I invested with them and now can’t seem to get a hold of the person who lured me into investing – Although it was not a lot of money – I still want my money back.
    Has anyone been successful recovering their money?
