Total money lost $1,500
Type of a scam CryptoCurrency
On instagram I was contacted by a fake profile called iam_alex_anderson he told me to invest in crypto by paying him through cash app, I started with 500 as he said thats what you need to start. He told me to create a trading account at Extreme-trade.com I saw the $500 deposited and he said he will trade for me and when we withdraw he will take 20%
After seeing profit on my dashboard in the trading website I decided to give him $1,000 to continue trading. The next day I got an email from extreme trade which said I need to pay $1,500 so I would have a total of $3,000 deposited into my account and only then will I be allowed to withdraw my profit.
There was terrible customer service clearly all the communication was only about getting me to pay more and to continue believing that I will get a bigger and bigger return on my investment.
The website is terrible obviously fake, and "alex" who contacted me is obviously scamming me out of $1,500. So thats that.
