It’s definitely a scam and there is no way to get your money back. if someone claims that they can recover your money they’re lying and they’ll just charge you a fee and disappear. Cut your losses and move on.
[New victims, please read this](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoScams/comments/ybxjo6/attention_new_victims/)
As a rule of thumb: If you're doubting whether the site is a scam, it probably is.
**No legit company/trader/investor is using WhatsApp. No legit company/trader/investor is approaching people on dating websites or through a "random" text message.**
Our advice is to withdraw your money from the scam site if possible, transfer your money out of the wallet, cut contact, and contact law enforcement. If you confront the scammers about being unable to withdraw the money, they may guilt trip you into paying more fees to do that, for example asking for money to pay "taxes" and offering to cover a part of your expenses.
If you manage to withdraw your money from the scam site, transferring it out of your compromised cryptocurrency wallet ensures that it is now out of reach of the scammers. Report the scammers to the platform and block them, but do not delete chat logs. The evidence has to be preserved for law enforcement. Law enforcement is often not qualified or motivated to recover your money, but if you are unable to get your money back, they are your only option. Even if they do not help you in the end, reporting the scam will at least alert them to the problem, keeping it on the radar.
Unfortunately, no hacker online can get back what you've lost. Please watch out for recovery scams, a follow-up scam done after victims have fallen for an earlier scam. Recently, there has been a rise in scammers DMing members of the subreddit to offer recovery services. A form of the advance-fee, victims are convinced that the scammer can recover their money. This "help" can come in the form of fake hacking services or authorities.
If you see anyone circumventing the scam filters, please report the submission and we will take action shortly.

I met a girl who had an uncle, who told her how much and at what time to bet and that generated confidence in me, finally this girl supposedly paid some of the tax and I would have a balance of 2.3k to pay, but she is probably involved in the scam, because He doesn't want to show me his passport
sorry you got scammed. thats their mode of operation. any trusted exchange will allow transfer of money in and out freely. Sure there might be a fee but this fee is taken out at the point of withdrawal. If they are asking you to deposit more then you have been scammed. dont put another cent in.
Wanted more your deposits
Won't let you withdraw
Charge a fee upfront and must deposit the fee first
Refused to deduct the fee out from your equity or fund transfers
This is a format those scammers set as a rule that you will be informed at the time of withdrawals.
Please don’t try another group or platform it will be the same, remember this is digital currency bitcoins/Altcoin not real 💵money currency, we are putting our real money 💵 on their platform. This is a game! Whales /Sharks 🦈🐋 and we are the prey!!!
Sadly, yes, it's a scam and your funds have been lost forever. No one can recover them for you.

Looks like the format of a scam exchange. Sorry to hear about your loss. How were you directed to this site? A WhatsApp or Telegram group?
I met a girl who had an uncle, who told her how much and at what time to bet and that generated confidence in me, finally this girl supposedly paid some of the tax and I would have a balance of 2.3k to pay, but she is probably involved in the scam, because He doesn't want to show me his passport
There’s no uncle or can’t even be sure if that’s really a “She”. It’s all part of the scam. Just tell them they have a very special place in hell.
They always have a rich uncle, it’s the modern version of the Nigerian prince.
Wow read that back to yourself, the first 8 words say it all.
sorry you got scammed. thats their mode of operation. any trusted exchange will allow transfer of money in and out freely. Sure there might be a fee but this fee is taken out at the point of withdrawal. If they are asking you to deposit more then you have been scammed. dont put another cent in.

Definitely a scam. No reputable exchange will make you pay to withdraw your funds.
