Cannot withdraw after deposit and require margin

I met an unknown man on ig, first cared about your work, your mood, and asked money-related questions, said that you can take me for extra income, and even sent me a photo to make me believe that he can take out the follow-up fee smoothly when he first made a deposit. When I took it out, I kept asking for a margin. I tried to make me keep adding funds. Now it says that a private equity firm has entered the market to disrupt the market. I suspect that I am also an insider of the private equity firm. I have been asked to give a 20% margin of the withdrawal amount. can come back

Unable to withdraw

On 6/2, because I participated in the activity in the picture, I didn’t expect that after the completion of the event, it said that there was a third-party fund injection, and the third-party fund needs to be completed. After that, it was completed one after another. In the event period of 7//17, there is still a third-party fund 6404údt Completed, because the third-party funds need to be completed in another 72 hours, about 110,000 Usdt has been bet, indicating that the credit is lower than 80 points and the third-party funds need to be re-completed. Keep asking during the re-financing period if there is no fee to pay after the completion? I have always said that it will not be normal, and I can withdraw it after review, but it has to be re-injected because of the expiration date. I have been asking that it is our problem that caused it.... After asking for a long time, it is still the same. I asked friends who I know online to know After disappearing, MT5 still shows the amount of funds, but the trading center cannot log in to the website. It was too late to discover the scam. I listened to this lie in order to raise my family’s medical expenses. It made me on a heavy debt. Is there a way to solve it? I can’t get it back if I called the police. would be so stupid

Athena place is unable to withdraw

The netizens I met on IG claimed to be the owner of a Portuguese restaurant in Macau! Take me to trade with Athenaplace Finance Ltd! Through this platform online customer service staff to deposit and withdraw funds and then invest in MT5! This website has delayed the withdrawal when it is found that something is wrong! The online customer service staff said that manual review will take 2 months, unless the stored value of 10,000 USDT is upgraded to a gold member! After this person disappeared, the customer service staff of this website did not respond! I hope no one gets scammed again...

Unable to withdraw. Requires to pay more than 20% tax.

This has happened for a while, but because I have never been in contact with WikiFX, I foolishly threw money in to pay taxes. I met a person on IG. Because of seasickness, I believed in his words. He said that he usually studies the international gold price. After knowing each other for half a month, he wanted to take me to operate the international gold price. He downloaded Binance and MT5 and taught me Applying for an account on Athenaplace, I actually operated it twice with XAUUSD.A, and successfully withdrawn once, but later I wanted to say that it can be directly operated by putting it in it, so there was no special withdrawal. Later, he asked me if I had been notified to participate in the accumulation deposit activity. I said no, and he persuaded me to participate in the amount that my ability could not reach. I thought about withdrawing funds in the middle, but refused to withdraw because I did not meet the standards. Later, he also helped me with a part (40,000 USDT), and the rest used bank credit to complete the activity. Although it was overdue, he successfully met the standard, and he also received the so-called reward, but he did not receive it, and continued to operate the market. I made a lot of money, until the withdrawal was unsuccessful, the customer service said that I had to pay a 20% tax, but there was really not that much money. When I asked the person who made me seasick, he said it was normal. He paid it like this before. He also borrowed high interest loans, and he could withdraw the money after paying the taxes. I doubted what he said. After I collected the tax together with him and paid it into my account separately, I was told that I could not pay the tax for others. The part he paid for me went into my fund account. The completed tax payment can only be withdrawn, so it is suspended in an unfinished tax. Because of this, I felt that the problem was serious, I discovered WikiFX, and saw many cases, only to find out that I had been defrauded. I discovered it too late, and I was heavily in debt. I really felt that I was stupid!

A trading platform that keep changing its website

Like other people's experience, the other party led me to use Binance to buy coins, then deposited USDT to the Athenaplace website, and then linked to MT5 for trading, and then through Athenaplace to withdraw money, and then returned to Binance to sell coins. The first transaction was very smooth. After the second deposit, I kept searching for relevant information on Athenaplace and found that there are 3 similar websites, but the login page is the same. When finding the difference, if you want to apply for a withdrawal (whether you want to withdraw in batches or at one time), the page has been stopped under review, and the customer service has assisted in canceling the withdrawal until it has not been read. Recently, it was found that the original URL has expired, but another URL and a new page have been added, and the name of athenaplace finance ltd remains unchanged.

Stored more than 2 million in order to receive rewards, but failed to withdraw!

Because of mistrusting the recommendation of netizens, in order to receive the stored value reward, he was defrauded by the black platform Athenaplace of more than 2 million yuan. At the beginning, I met this netizen on IG. One day, I chatted with this netizen about investment. He mentioned that he was investing in international gold, and the income was not bad. He also invited me to join. After that, they taught me to download Binance, Athenaplace and MT5. Then take me to trade on Athenaplace, deposit funds through the online customer service staff of this platform, and then invest in MT5. Because I am completely unfamiliar with this field, whether it is the trading steps, data settings, and timing of entering and exiting the market, I follow the instructions of the other party. After the first small profit, there were applications for withdrawal, and indeed there were successful withdrawals, so there was no doubt in the follow-up. One day, this netizen asked me to ask the customer service. There is currently a deposit full reward event. The netizen suggested that I first participate in the $88,000 event to grab a spot. Because the threshold is too high, I was hesitant to participate. Later, netizens said that if it is really not enough, he can help some, and it is good to withdraw it and return it to him after reaching the standard. So I participated in the activity, and I applied for an extension because I could not reach it within the time limit. The platform said that I needed to pay a deposit of 10,000 US dollars (the netizens helped me pay) to continue the activity, and this deposit could not be counted in the deposit activity. In the end, I There was a shortfall of 7,000 US dollars, and netizens helped to make up for the event. The feedback was also deposited the next day, and two market transactions were made in the middle. Unexpectedly, the application for withdrawal on the evening of 8/22 kept waiting for review until noon on 8/22 when the review failed. Ask the customer service why the withdrawal was unsuccessful? It was said that my account was involved in third-party funds, which was a risk account and was suspected of money laundering. I was asked to add another $17,000 as a security deposit. It is not enough to ask the customer service if it can be deducted from the account. In short, the money is not given. In the end, he said that if I do not deal with it maliciously, I will be sued! I hope everyone will not be deceived again. Of course everyone wants to have the opportunity to make money, but this kind of malicious platform will really kill people, and I blame myself for being greedy!

Faking to make friends, after indducing the purchase of USDT, then requesting to register at athenaplace

Faking to make friends vis online dating, the other party (pseudonym Xiao Li) is very patient, and Xiao Li will probably chat with him. After a few weeks of grinding, he will guide you to Maicoin or Binance to buy USDT. Xiao Li said that he is trading precious metals (London Gold or New York Gold), use USDT to trade precious metals. If you are not familiar with cryptocurrencies, Xiao Li will "teach" you to buy cryptocurrencies step by step, and ask to buy USDT from a designated C2C currency dealer. Li will also ask to use the mobile version to operate, and ask for screenshots to be sent back. After Xiao Li confirms that you have purchased at least 1,001 USDT, he will ask to register at athenaplace finance (www.athenaplacefinance.com***). Find it here. The story of Forex Sky Eye reminds you not to have any more brain fog, it's time to stop. --In order to earn USDT1,000, you have to chat with us for so many weeks, this money is really hard to earn.

    Honestly, my experience with Athenaplace has been a bit of a headache. Depositing money was easy enough, but when it came time to withdraw my funds, it was like pulling teeth. They kept giving me excuses and stalling, and it was beyond frustrating. I wouldn't recommend this broker if you're looking for a hassle-free withdrawal process.
