My father was contacted by an "investor" of this fraudulent company, invited him to invest in this company, and persuaded him by showing my father the possible earnings. Initially, we invested a few hundred, which then turned to few thousands, about $18,000. Then the company said that due to massive profits gained, we earned about $250,000 returns on our investment. But to withdraw, they asked us to pay a 10% fee on the winnings ($25k), a withdrawal fee ($13k) and a VAT, tax and insurance fee ($50k). When asked how did they calculate all of these fees, they got very defensive and hostile and refused to answer to questions and insisted that we pay the fees to get our withdraw. They threatened by dad to "watch what [he] says" and derided him by asking if he knows "simple math". After all fees were paid, then they informed us that to receive our withdraw, we must send them a "very clear screenshot of the front and back of [our] credit card with the highest credit score" as well as our bank username and password. When we told them that these information are absolutely not required for a bank transfer to our account, to which they replied that their "financial experts" knows best and that "this is the only way for wire transfer" and that we should send those information if we want to receive our money back. At this point, we have informed the FBI and other authorities of their fraudulent activities and have ceased all communication with them. Then a few days later, they sent us another email saying that due to our failure to provide them with those information, they will send us our withdraw as BitCoins, but we now owe them an additional $8.8k, which "will be refunded after payment". Money from my father, my mother, and myself was lost in this scam.
