An investment platform won't let you withdraw and demands a 'tax'

A demand to pay a 'tax', 'fee' or 'insurance' before withdrawal is a typical last stage of an investment scam. The displayed profit does not exist, and a new payment goes the same way.

First steps

  1. Do not pay anything more.
  2. Preserve the platform's site (archive copies), the chats and all TXIDs.
  3. File a police report and report the platform's addresses to a scam-address database.
  4. Check whether other victims used the same addresses — a joint report is stronger.
