Hello,
I met someone on internet who suggested that I invest in a crypto trading platform that I didn't know about. I did it step by step and made sure that it was possible to transfer the funds back to binance at any time. So I increased the volume and today customer service is asking me to pay 10% of my capital as a fee. What's more, they've told me that I can't pay this fee with the funds available on the platform, but that I have to pay it with funds from another portfolio. If I don't do this, I won't be able to recover my funds on this platform.
First rule of trading, don't invest in anything that has to do with trading platfrom be it crypto or non-crypto trading platforms because 99% of them are most often than not scammers that will just run away with your money, they are liars, con artist, pretenders and, there testimonies, reviews and ROI are all lies, they are fake and nothing more. It will cost you nothing but your time and capital to start learning how to trade, the next time you see anything similar like this, just run away from them.
The name of the platform is Hitcoin. Here is the message sent by customer service:
Hello, after the Global Banking Regulatory Commission audits your HITCOIN account, according to the standards of the Turkish Tax Authority, investors need to pay 10% tax to the market exchange and the Global Banking Regulatory Commission. Calculate the tax you need to pay based on your profit in the HITCOIN market, -----*10%=---- The tax you need to pay is $----
Pursuant to Rule 21(2) of the Treaty Rules of the Global Banking Regulatory Commission. For tax purposes, all secondary market investors must deposit taxable funds in the secondary market through an external wallet. Taxes cannot be deducted from the account, and you can withdraw all funds in the account after completing the tax payment
Do you think this is a scam or can I pay safely?
Thank you in advance for your help.
The scammers are daft and not even smart, but perhaps there are people that may fall for this kind of scams, the Global banking Regulatory commision will stood so low to audit your account as if you are investing millions of dollars into that company, that is the first red flag and the second red flag is the 10% they are asking, you are the one to pay the tax from your account and not from the company if at all they are even real, there responsibility is to make profit and charge for there service to begin with. I hope prior to my reply, you have not pay a dim to them, they are scammers even from the write up. Once you receieve such kind of message or mail that is so good to be true, just have it at the back of your mind that you are about to be scam.
