More than 3,000 investors in Mexico have been left without access to their funds after AMG GPT, a company promising guaranteed returns through cryptocurrency trading bots, abruptly shut down its offices in Tehuacán and Puebla. The company’s disappearance, along with abandoned offices and severed communication channels, has raised serious concerns about a potential crypto bot scam.
AMG GPT initially gained trust by offering daily payouts, which early investors reportedly received. However, the company recently began delaying withdrawals, demanding additional “verification fees” before granting access to funds.
These new requirements raised red flags, and many investors began questioning the legitimacy of the operation. AMG GPT attributed the delays to a “Shopping Festival” event, which promised generous rewards but offered no resolution to withdrawal issues as of this writing.

The company’s marketing reportedly heavily featured well-known cryptocurrency brands and figures, such as Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Elon Musk, lending credibility to their claims. Early investors, encouraged by initial returns, recruited others, with some individuals investing as much as $1,000. Promises of doubling or tripling investments drew substantial participation, creating what appears to be a pyramid scheme where new funds were used to pay earlier investors.
Victims have reported that AMG GPT abruptly abandoned its offices and shut down all communication channels, including WhatsApp groups. Around 100 affected individuals have filed complaints with local prosecutors. Some company representatives, who have been identified, claim to be victims themselves and deny knowledge of the scheme’s true organizers.
This Mexico crypto bot scam bears similarities to a recent USDT-themed scam in North Carolina, where thousands fell victim to fraudulent investment promises. In September, US federal prosecutors charged two individuals with stealing and laundering over $230 million in cryptocurrency, using aliases like “Anne Hathaway” and “VersaceGod.”
