Type of a scam CryptoCurrency
I met a guy on Instagram by the name of Fred Navas who is a trader on the website tradestocksignals.com in which you load your account with cash via bitcoin. I was asked to deposit $200 to start my investment trading in which I seen go into my account shortly after my first deposit. So as the trade went on mind you I was not told to have any additional money up front, but soon as I made my first deposit I was told in order for me to make withdrawal I will have to pay 15% commission out of pocket for what ever profits you gain, red flag #1. From there he asked what do I have for commission so he can see if he should keep trading with my account or not, so I told him $100 at that my account was at $1837. So he told me to deposit the $100 and I can withdraw Thursday I said cool it makes sense. He was supposed to keep my trade at $1837 but he continued it any way so I thought OK cool that was nice but that’s when all these problems started coming. So from there a day before withdrawal he informed me that they want us to pay the rest of the commission fee which was $650 in which I told him I don’t have so I talk to the "Company" that Fred was always referring to in which they said just come up with $150 and we’ll release your funds. I waited a week later until I came up with the $150 and deposited that as well. From there he said I need to deposit $100 for delay fee because it was a week later, so at this time it’s in my head OK you have to spend money to make money so I went and deposited $100.. After he informed me again that there after still glitches and I need to deposit $120 and they’ll release my funds immediately and the promise of it all so I deposited $120 still no release of funds into my account, so today they are trying to tell me to deposit $130 for instant transfer of the funds. So thats when I said I have to count my losses and move on but I just don’t want this to happen to any one else because I used my last to invest and they took advantage of me because of my desperation for money
