I have been trading forex for years and bitcoin dice game which i have mastered and making little profits, but few months ago i decided to start trading cryptocurrency and to begin with i subscribed to udemy training coupled with youtube training to educate myself with different bitcoin trading strategies. While in one of the channels i met some guys who made mention of the fact that its not easy for newbies to make profit with bitcoin trading and that the best thing is to have professional trader and signal provider to give you accurate signals for you to make profit and these guys are many and seems to be on every channels, some of them even testified to how they regained their loss through a trusted professional trader and signal provider and how they have been making consistent profits with the signals.
It was a nice idea to me and i was given the phone number of a signal provider called Webb Nathan +447782648398 and i sent a whatsapp message to him, he asked who gave me his number and i said someone who i discussed bitcoin trading signals with did. I told him i would like to receive trading signals from him and he said no problem, thats his business. He asked whether i have got trading with signal experience and i said yes, then he asked which broker i was using and i told him i have account with hitbtc, bittrex and poloniex. He said he will introduce me to another broker where his signals works with 98% accuracy and he introduced me to traderadvance.com, he said he will guide me through trading on that website, give me signals for 2 months and at the end of two month i give him 10% of the profit. He asked how much i want to start with, i said $500 and he said $500 is too small that i should make it $1000. So, i opened account on that traderadvance with $1K and he started giving me signals.
On that website there are 4 trading plans($500, $5000, $10,000 and $50,000), the more the deposit, the more the number of times you can place a trade in a day, with less than 5k you can only trade 5 times which is the category i belong to and with 50k you can have unlimited trading. Within a week, my account grew to $4k from $1K as the signal was 100% correct and within 2 weeks my account was over $10K but because i have a very limited number of trades i can place he started advising me to increase my deposit to the next level of $5k so as to be able to place like 15 trades a day and increase my profit, everything seemed genuine to me but i still had a doubt especially because he asked me to add more money(i knew thats scammers method) and because the signal was too accurate, so i decided to search for review about that traderadvance broker with uk.pivot and there was a good review about them, many people scored the company above 4.5/5, i came here to search for name whether it will be mentioned in any scam but i didnt get any negative information about them, i searched for the phone number of that signal provider whether it will be mentioned in any scam but i didnt get any negative info and so i decided to add $1k more to my deposit, i knew i was risking it as something was telling me the whole arrangement is a scam but i decided to follow along and risk the amount i can afford to lose comfortably, he asked me to increase it to $5k but i told him that is all i got and by December ending i will add big money to the account. By the end of third week my trading account has grown to over 2btc something around $45,000. Then because of my doubt i decided to test the broker by placing a withdrawal and see whether it will be honoured, i placed a withdrawal and it was not paid then i chat with the customer care who told me there is a balance lockdown if one month and that i can only withdraw after one month.
Then i continued receiving the signal and when it was a month and a day i placed a withdrawal and after 3 days it was not paid and was still pending on their website despite being told by the customer care that their payment is maximum of 24 hours. I tried to chat with them but no response, i dropped messages but no reply. Then i went back to my signal provider to complain and he said he has 100% trust in them and that he has been trading with them for 3 years without any disappointment. I went back to search further about the company and i realized the UK office address placed on their website is fake, their phone number is also fake and i also later realised that my signal provider phone number was just a business number. It was then my doubt was confirmed that i have been scammed.
Then, i decided to play along with my 'professional signal provider' by telling him i want to add $48K to my balance so as to make it $50k so as to have unlimited trading per day, he was happy and he said i should quickly do that. The second day he asked me whether i have added the money and i told him i would have added the money but the withdrawal i made has not been paid yet and that once the withdrawal is paid i will add the money, he felt annoyed and went offline immediately. The second day i received a call from a man who claimed to be their legal consultant and he said he learnt i was having a problem with deposit into their company's account and that i can go ahead to do the deposit and i insisted i cannot make more deposit until my withdrawal is honoured, i asked him who told him i wanted to make a deposit but he avoided my question(i knew it was my 'signal provider' because he was the only one i told about it). The following day i received another call from another person who claimed to be for my mentoring and i plainly told him they are scammers and that after failure to pay my withdrawal they still want me to add more deposit because they have been told i have more $48K to deposit.
Since the middle of December 20, my deposit has been pending on their website, they dont reply my chat anymore and my signal provider is no more available, he is annoyed because i did not add to the deposit. It is obvious that they are all working together as they are everywhere introducing people to 'accurate signal provider', beware of them.
