Bitharbour/Lanco

SCAMMERS

These two companies work side by side and are the dregs of society. Like several of the reviews already listed, we were taken in by their opening speeches of "no financial outlay" on receiving our recovered funds.

All goes quite well, until you get to the home straight, then you get €300 request for linking bank account, which will be released along with the funds (yeah right), so the request then goes on the Bitharbour portal for the funds to be sent, sits in "pending" then comes the crash.... first time €2,225 required for an AML certificate which can be presented to you within 20 minutes didnt pay this. Second time several weeks later, requested funds through portal "approved" funds would be cleared through a clearing bank in Singapore....yippee ..then at 17:30 receive a phone call from Brian Brighton (apparently an agent for said singapore bank) time in Singapore approx 02:30am saying that €2,300 had to be paid immediately for the bank to released. So we put it to bed.

Some four weeks later another phone call fron Orfeo Cruz at Lanco asking why we had not withdrawn our funds from the BitHarbour portal. Wrote him an email explaining all that had occured in the past. ASSURED us that the "bad apples" had been removed and all would be good. Same end to the story, but this time €2,300 for Insurance that would cancel out any obstacles like mentioned above. The funds were then"lost" between our bank and Bitharbour, but not to worry as they were speaking to our Bank to address the issue ...ummmm. Needless to say our Bank confirmed to us that the funds had been sent to where we instructed.

Totally unscrupulos faceless people.
Other names involved in this farce are :-

JESSE QUINTON, DAVID COLE, MIKE RAWLINS, MR. NICHOLS.

If this review just stops one person going through what we have it will be worth it.

These people are the lowest of low creatures on Earth

If you are contacted by Bella Hansson, Jack Novak, Eva Holmgren or Brian Brighton, rest assured you are being scammed. I was pursued by this group for over 15 months. They are incredibly convincing, charming and believable. They get you to make all sorts of deposits and offer all sorts of assistance. They also show your balance growing on BitHarbour.org. Then when they have squeezed every last drop of coin out of you they say now we just have to wait on Interpol to approve the payment from BitHarbour. That’s it! THE END. They ignore all emails and run off with your money. They knew I had already been scammed. But that just egged them on further. Butter wouldn’t melt in their mouth, but they are lower than the lowest creatures on this earth. I challenged them about the lack of positive reviews on TrustPilot, then amazingly positive reviews appeared.
These people are the sleaziest lying scum of the earth. They have no morals whatsoever. I hate to imagine what their offspring would be like.
They chat you up, very personable and Bella Hansson even sent me a copy of her Swedish Passport. I was such a fool that words cannot describe how badly I was sucked in. All I can say is that IF you get involved with these despicable creatures you will get burned.

I was very skeptical when I made a research before starting a cooperation with Lanco, but thank`s God I made right decision when i started to work with Mr. Novak. However, he could pick up my calls more often so maybe I could get my refund quicker...Any way, I have received my money so I only want to say thank you to Lanco company and Bitharbour. 4 stars because of issues with answering on the phone calls.

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!

So back to square one, second review. It's funny how you want to believe something is true. My first review was saved by a Christmas holiday and they turned up again after New years like nothing hade happened. "Forgot" autoreply, very professional.

LANCO has got quite a sophisticated way of working, they (Ms Eva Holmgren and Andrew) ask you to hold BTC in your wallet, never to be moved never to be sent anywhere. Just as insurance for the satoshis required, or the "effective fee rate", for the transfer.

The BTC is then moved "within" the wallet and eventually sent via "Address management" and with "white listing enabled" to "your" address. Of course the funds didn't turn up in my Binance account. After searching Eva/Bryan for 24 hrs more or less they came back in a surprising manner. Since I hadn't enabled a "REDIRECT " button in the Address management on Binance, which Bryan had told me, it was my fault that the funds had been sent to the "recovered" funds on the Bitharbour.org platform. Now the procedure can't be reversed due to company policys so to have my funds recovered they want me to send another 0,036 BTC for my recovered funds to be sent. That's because it was my fault, then LANCO can't cover my BTC and me resending BTC is a must.

However, this is very interesting, when talking to Binance support 15 minutes ago THERE HAS NEVER BEEN a "REDIRECT" button in Binance plattform. Wonder how Lanco is going to act now since it's their fault I didn't get my funds? Or of course, they were never meant to reach me.

LANCO Consulting is without a doubt a SCAM COMPANY!!

BITHARBOUR.org is without a doubt a SCAM company!!

Lanco Consulting Scammer

These people pretend they will help you recover your funds from scammers but they are scammers too. They will not stop getting your money. They took huge money from me. Eva Holmgren, Jack Novack, Andrew, Bryan. These are professional thieves and scammers.

Watch out for this scam company!

Watch out for this scam company! Made me believe that everything would be smooth and easy to recover my funds. ”All of our customers will have there money back”. Jack Novak and Eva Holmgren are the criminals who were handling my case. After a couple of days they didn’t answer my calls or emails. I guess they are having a nice New Year’s Eve somewhere spending money and other client money!
