Crypto trading platform with a personal 'broker'
After an ad with a celebrity photo an advisor gets in touch. A first small withdrawal works and the dashboard shows rising profits. When you withdraw the big amount, sudden 'taxes' or an 'unlock fee' appear — money that is lost as well.
Warning signs
- A first small withdrawal works (trust trick)
- Profits exist only inside the dashboard
- A fee is demanded before payout
- Support via WhatsApp/Telegram, remote access requested
What to do
Send nothing more. Save all transaction IDs, report to the exchange, file a police report — and dispute with your bank or card issuer if used.
