Crypto trading platform with a personal 'broker'
After an ad with a celebrity photo an advisor gets in touch. A first small withdrawal works and the dashboard shows rising profits. When you withdraw the big amount, sudden 'taxes' or an 'unlock fee' appear — money that is lost as well. Warning signs: A first small withdrawal works (trust trick); Profits exist only inside the dashboard; A fee is demanded before payout; Support via WhatsApp/Telegram, remote access requested. What to do: Send nothing more. Save all transaction IDs, report to the exchange, file a police report — and dispute with your bank or card issuer if used. Typical loss: 2.000–150.000 €.
