Saw add stating you can make money trading crypto coin futures, signed up and made money some days and lost money on others, that is how they lure you in. Then you have some unsuccessful trades and invest more money. If you try to withdraw funds from your account they attempt to extort $500 for an investigation of alleged money laundering. If you don't pay they freeze your account so you can no longer trade or attempt to withdraw your funds.

I was informed if I invested in bitcoin $300 it would be traded on the foreign exchange market. I was shown a profit and informed to register at the website. I registered but when I went to withdraw the profits, I was told there was a one time fee for the account in order for them to invest on my behalf and withdraw the funds. I paid the fee of $750 with the intention of reinvesting. When I went to withdraw the money it asked me for a pin. I had to contact the company and they informed me that in order to obtain the pin it would be $1,700. From there I asked for my money back and they would not agree.

I invested 2200 and earned 7861. Today I tried to make a withdrawal from my account. 4000 was supposed to be deposited into my account. The payment support team said they deposited it. When I told them I didn't receive it several times, they deleted my account and stop responding to my messages.

This person was “refereed” by another account I follow and I check with the other folks and they confirmed it was real. So I trusted that it was, not understanding the situation at the time. It started with an investment of $1,000 and then there were more fees Associated with the investment.. there’s even a website where I can see where all the money was going.. after I would say a three week period it kept on being new fees … since I don’t know much about much about crypto… I thought it was all good… but unfortunately it wasn’t and I was left with a headache and my savings of $7500 gone.

They charged me 500 for trading fee then during the process they tried to get me to top up the amount I already had on the account then when tradeing ended they wanted me to give them 700 more for registration fee, that's when I was done, then discovered I had been scamed.

They did not give me paper reciept but I save a snap shot of the web page that showed the amount of money that I paid them.

Company requested a deposit through Cashapp with Bitcoin purchase that was used to establish an account with a promise of a return. Company the requested an additional amount of money on January 29th for fees a few days after account was set up. These fees was never outlined in the beginning, I was told to just leave the money in the account and it would grow. They said I’d have to wait until after February 4th for cancellation to be complete and to receive a refund. My account was closed, website no longer available and I still haven’t received the refund. The account manager communicated through text messages, no live customer service rep only online chat.

Opensea openly allows scammers on their site. They allow non verified projects to sell and scam consumers. Instead the could verify people/projects before they sell, but no the would make less money. See OpenSea gets a commission on every sale. Then when someone is reported as fraud Opensea then just deleted what's you purchased but the keep their commission on on the stolen goods, therefore they're scammers and help these horrible entities to just keep robbing us, the consumers.

I am not going to say if I’ve got scammed or not.

I will share my experiences as plainly as possible, and let people who are reading this be their own judge (although I do think it will come pretty obvious to them in the end.)

Back in the middle of January, I met someone on a dating website, who seemed very religious so I wasn’t suspicious.

After chatting through texts for a few days, he told me he could show me how to make money trading Crypto Currency.

He encouraged me to sell my valuables to raise the money to put into the investment, and that’s what I did.

I put in CA$3,000 into the trading platform he instructed me to (Tradersroomfx), and I watch the profits being made on the platform.

The next day, I was told two things this person referred to as “trading policy”:

1. the trading cycle only goes on for 48 hours, which means, after the 48 hours, the trade will stop.

2. in his words, the platform wants to ensure there is a reasonable amount of trading capital ($6,000) to be held in my account before I can make any withdrawal. For me to access the money I’ve already put in, I would need to put in more money.

I did not go with it.

After this, I went on the platform and contacted the customer support to ask for my money back.

I was told there was no refund; there is only withdrawal. In order to withdraw the money in my account, I needed to go through a few trading stages, and each stage requires additional investment.

I refused, and I kept on insisting to get my money back.

Throughout the process, while dealing with the customer support, I was simply asking for my money to be returned to me. I have not mentioned I suspended the platform was a scam; yet, the customer support asked me to go on Instagram to ask two people about the platform, and they gave me the IG handles of each individual: @alexande_mark199876 (who had changed their name on IG 5 times) and @tonyhermesfx (name changed on IG 17 times). I will leave it to reader’s discretion whether they are legitimate accounts from real persons.

As I continued to push for the money to be returned to me, as I attempted to log into my account on the platform, I was told my account no longer exists.
You want to know if Tradersroomfx is a scam?

A group was made where the leader would tell us when to buy crypto. If you invested more you were then sent to a private 1 on 1 with a teacher. After a certain amouny was made you couldn't withdraw your investment until you paid the teacher 10%

Please see the attached uploaded file containing the entire conversation with the "broker/account manager."

I invested $150 into crypto coin

According to the broker, there was a $429.86 broker's commission which I paid.

i was subsequently informed that there is an $1,823.80 fee for the account which I paid.

I provided detailed description on withdrawal and re-investment of the account.

I was informed that I needed to pay an additional $1,000 to upgrade the (new!) account. I informed the account manager that I wanted to withdraw all of the money that I paid/

He informed me that there was a withdrawal tax of $639.

All I am requesting is the refund of $2,403.66 (which is what I paid).
