Scam Description
I was contacted on instagram by Christian discussing forex trading and sent him 200 on cash app for my initial investment. He said he would do the trading for me at a 95/5 profit split. When it came time to withdrawal my fake account was at 9300. I said I would withdrawal 8500 and refund nicest the rest. I then got an email to cover a TTP for 1000 which is some tax thing that I was told would be reimbursed to me with my profits. At this point I had done more research and knew it was a scam and refused to send any more money. I told him to cover the 1000 out of the 9300 profits and he said they were unable to do that. He then asked me how much money I had and said he would cover the rest to make the 1000. I have refused to send anymore money and now am reporting. The customer service chat on the broker site does not work.
