This is my story with this company. It happened January/2023. I invested my money a year ago looking to increase some extra funds in order to supplement my income while [removed by editor]ing from a surgery due to an accident. I wasn't looking to make lots of money, just some extra income to help me while I [removed by editor]. I sent my initial investment and was told the trade would end in 14 days. When the trade ended I was supposed to withdrawal my profits. Before I could take my profits I had to pay withdrawals fees, international fees, AML fees, network fees; these totaled to $6K-$7K. Each time I paid, I was promised that I would receive my profits. Mind you I never received my profits and they kept my profits for themselves. I emailed their support team, they emailed me back apologizing with promise to send it to me. They never sent my profits. All have is a bunch of back and forth emails, full of their broken promises. I had moved on, and just cut my losses regretting that I ever invested with them. Then, months later I get a text from this CFO, Roger who says that my name came up on their list and that they are calling all their investors to send them their withdrawals that they did not receive from the past. I was like, is this for real. Am I getting my investment. I was guarded, but feeling hopeful. Anyway, he said that they have to call everyone to send them their investments. I figure a lot of people must have a complained to the authorities about them and now they have to do right by their clients. Since, he was the CFO, I was in good hands. So I thought. I explained to him what had happened and he stated that there was a crack down in their company, a lot of their agents kept taking the client withdrawal fees and purchasing packages with it. I was shocked, but a little relieved that maybe I would finally receive my profits. I really needed it. I had just been diagnosed with a chronic condition and needed the funds for medical treatments. I also needed it for some work and getting my life back on track again. Anyways the money would do a lot of good. So I sent him my wallet address as he asked. Crossed my fingers and prayer hands up with hope that this would be good. Well, he said that he processed my withdrawal and now I have to pay $5K network fee. I explained to him that I have already paid the fees, just send my profits to me. He knows that I paid the fees because it's in his system. So, I told him that I didn't have any money in my budget to pay the fees. I had already lost money with his company paying fees and never receiving my profits. He said and reassured me that he would help me pay the $5K network fees. I would pay $2K and he would pay $3K. I told him it would take months to come with $2K, he said that is okay. So, I tried and tried and was able to come up with $2100. Meanwhile, he kept giving me deadline of when to send payment. Needless to say I never met the deadline, but he continued to reassure me that as soon as I pay, I would receive my profits right away. So the time came and I paid. Then, all of a sudden he tells that he had an emergency and had to take $1K. So he was only able to put up $2K towards the fee. So with my payment and his, I still owed $1K. I told him that he promised to help with his $3K and that he should keep his word. He declined and said that I have to pay it now. He said that I had to pay it by the deadline or lose all my money. This was a horrible nightmare. So, it took me another month and half to come with the final $1K. I did. I sent it to him. So, now all the $5K fees were paid for him to send me my long awaited profits. I didn't receive my profits right away like he promised. I kept texting him and he finally answered and said that I would receive my monies with in 72 hours. He said that I had to pay another $500 fee to transfer my profits to my bank account. Today is 2/9/2024, 72 hours has long passed and I still have not received my profits from the initial investment I made January/2023. This has been a most horrible horrible journey, especially when I am in need of medical care and working a flexible schedule and really need the monies. <br />
I wrote this to make people aware to be careful who you trust. If it looks like a duck, it is a duck. If it looks like scam, most of the time it is a scam (unless the person gets a conscience to do right by their clients, you have lost your monies). All I know in working in the business world and being a consumer is that if the company charges a fee, they normally deduct the fee from the clients' total or add it to the total. The consumer almost never pays upfront fee (It does depend on the industry, however, in the financial industry, fees are always deducted). If things change, I will let you know. BEWARE!! BEWARE!!! <br />
Yours truly,<br />
