SCAMMER FRAUD WARNING Wimalantha Pillei Amaladav Sanjeev from Sri Lanka

URGENT ALERT: Beware of Cryptocurrency Fraud Scams Posing as Legitimate Investments

Who Is the Scammer?

  • Full Name: Wimalantha Pillei Amaladav Sanjeev
  • NIC Number 198833903112
  • Location: Sri Lanka (potentially operating from Colombo or other regions Hambantota Sooriyawewa)
  • Aliases/Contacts: Likely uses WhatsApp, Telegram, or email or tel +94 76 429 4383
  • Profile: Presents as a trustworthy investor or broker in cryptocurrency deals, often referencing “investors,” “liquidity pools,” and high-yield opportunities on platforms like Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

Scam Tactics

This individual is linked to pig butchering scams and advance-fee frauds targeting crypto enthusiasts. Common methods include:

  • Building Trust: Starts with casual chats about “deals” or “coins,” sharing fake BscScan links to seem legitimate.
  • Liquidity Pool Manipulation: Claims to have or be creating “liquidy pools” (note the common typo in their messages) that require “some coins to fill up” in order to “get full liquidy out of the pool in millions.” They insist this only needs “small gas fees” from the victim to activate or withdraw massive returns, framing it as a low-risk step to unlock huge profits
  • Fake Proof: Sends small amounts of worthless tokens (e.g., 1M “EUROC” via tx like valued deceptively at millions, promising billions more e.g., 1B EUROC or 6B total payout).
  • Urgency & Delays: Uses phrases like “today,” “in 2 hours,” or “100% sure” to create FOMO, then delays with excuses (e.g., “investor meetings”).
  • Fund Extraction: Requests “minimum” investments (e.g., 3000-5000 USDT/BNB) or wallet details to “unlock” gains. Victims have reported losses of 250M+ in fake tokens or real crypto.
  • Target Audience: Elderly or novice investors, often via personal referrals (e.g., “xy wrote you”).

Real-World Impact: Victims lose thousands to millions

Evidence of Fraud

  • Blockchain Red Flags: Transactions show zero real value transfers; addresses are dormant or low-activity.
  • Communication Style: Typos (e.g., “liquidy pool,” “ood news”) and non-native English indicate scripted operations from scam hubs in Southeast Asia/South Asia.
  • No Legitimate Ties: Searches reveal no verified business or investment history for this name. Similar Sri Lankan-based crypto frauds have defrauded millions globally (e.g., per Chainalysis 2024 reports on South Asian scam networks).

What to Do If Targeted

  1. Stop Immediately: Do not send funds, share wallets, or verify “coins.” Block all contacts.
  2. Secure Assets: Move crypto to a hardware wallet; enable 2FA.
  3. Report It:
    • Sri Lanka: Cyber Crime Division (police.lk) or CID (cid.gov.lk).
    • Global: IC3.gov (US), ActionFraud.police.uk (UK), or cybercrime.gov.in (India).
    • Crypto: Chainabuse.com or BscScan scam report.
  4. Seek Help: Contact recovery experts (avoid “guaranteed” services—many are scams). Preserve chats/transactions as evidence.

Prevention Tips

  • Verify tokens on CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko—legit assets like Circle’s EURC have official contracts.
  • Never invest based on unsolicited tips or unverified links.
  • Use reputable exchanges; avoid “quick payout” promises—crypto is volatile, not guaranteed.

Share This Warning: Forward to friends/family. Scammers like Wimalantha thrive on silence. If you’ve been scammed, your story could save others.
