This report is based on a public appeal from a user who lost 85,000 Canadian dollars on the Delta Gains investment platform. According to the post's author, after transferring the funds, the system showed a successful withdrawal request, but the money never actually reached the client's real bank account. Subsequently, the service's representatives demanded an additional payment, which was allegedly necessary to pass verification, AML checks, and confirm the source of funds in order to unlock the deposit. Suspecting fraud, the author refused to make further payments and began gathering evidence (screenshots, bank statements, correspondence) to hand over to Canadian law enforcement and the Anti-Fraud Centre.

In the discussion of the incident, community members unanimously confirmed the fraudulent nature of the platform. According to user yarevande, Delta Gains is a fake investment site, and any earnings displayed on the balance are just numbers on the screen, as no real trading takes place. He emphasized that legitimate brokers never require external payments for taxes or fees when withdrawing funds, but deduct all charges directly from the withdrawn amount. The very demand to send extra money to gain access to one's own deposit is proof of a scam.

Furthermore, according to user yarevande, victims of such schemes often become targets for "recovery scammers" — fraudsters who promise to return the lost funds for a separate fee. He warned against believing such offers and recommended contacting only the police, for example, by filing a complaint via the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) website (rcmp.ca). The situation was also commented on by user Practical_Avocado971, who stated that the mere presence of the word "cryptocurrency" in an investment project's description is already a serious red flag. This incident represents a classic advance-fee scam scheme, adapted for the cryptocurrency sector.
