The big mistake here is that you let your greed get the best of you, it's rare to get a recommendation about an investment opportunities on the Internet that did not turn out to be a scam.
Joining an exchange should not be something you just jump into especially if it's a centralized exchange, you are not only at the risk of getting scammed I believe if you were demanded to give out documents then you can also fall victim of identity theft.

Hello,
I met someone on internet who suggested that I invest in a crypto trading platform that I didn't know about. I did it step by step and made sure that it was possible to transfer the funds back to binance at any time. So I increased the volume and today customer service is asking me to pay 10% of my capital as a fee.
It baffles me how people still fall for such simple scam like this in this 2023, whereby a total stranger could just invite you to an unknown investment platform and you go about putting your hard earn money without considering to Do Your Own Research on all social media and online review platforms such as "scamadviser.com" and "trustpilot.com" I met someone on internet who suggested that I invest in a crypto trading platform that I didn't know about. I did it step by step and made sure that it was possible to transfer the funds back to binance at any time. So I increased the volume and today customer service is asking me to pay 10% of my capital as a fee.
It's too impulsive to try it out first without gathering more information.
It won't look impulsive for someone who wants to make money fast from investing in whatever they are told or introduced to. It is easy to scam people when you promise them interest or APY, people are ready to lock their funds up in risky platforms just because of APY and they will register and deposit their money to trading groups, because they were promised a high interest rate. Most of the people that are scammed are the ones that are greedy and want to make money very fast.If you have to withdraw your money with a 10% fee, then the full fee appears to apply. So you know all these things clearly and then try to invest in those platforms it will be good for you.
There is no money to withdraw because the scammers won't allow you claim it, and even if you pay what they ask for now, they'll never stop asking for more until you stop sending. Hello,

The name of the platform is Hitcoin. Here is the message sent by customer service:

Best of luck to you of course I'm so sorry to say I think this is a scam. Hit coin is one of the biggest exchange currency new scammers out there so you should proceed with caution and do your research.

My question is that why did you share with us here when you were initiating the business and possibly before you deposited money into that online trading platform? What I understand most at times is that, during business negotiation you people don't always come to seek out from people who are here to know whether the trading platform is real or not.. Maybe after victim that is when you people will always come to know whether your being scammed or not. If you must know, you have just been scammed so do not send any money as an additional fee otherwise all money including your capital and interest will be gone.

This is absolutely a Scam, @OP. To avoid this from happening, learn not to trust any third party with your funds, mostly on the internet. You can't just trust anyone who asks you to invest with an agreed-upon ROI. Some of these offers always come with a huge return on investment, which plays a role in getting Investors to be more attracted to them. If you want to trade, then you should learn how to do it yourself, or if you feel it will be a big risk for you, then you just have to invest in Bitcoin and hold it in your wallet.
It does sound stupid to us that know about that scamming technique and generally have experience, but many people are gullibl and not aware of all the dangers on the Internet.
I don't know, if you are into bitcoin and you even know how to transfer money online it means that you're supposed to know a couple of things about internet, no? I have friends who know zero about bitcoin and when they wanted to buy something I literally had to open the exchange account for them because they weren't absolutely able to do it alone. I just don't understand why someone should start talking with some random guy and before he "invests" the money and only later he checks on this forum.Anyway I hope it wasn't a lot of money, it's a good lesson for the future, we all make mistakes at the end.
I recently heard about the platform and wondered why investors must pay a 10% tax to the market exchange and the commission. Where did you meet this person and how did he find you?
If you meet someone on the internet that you don't know at all, you shouldn't immediately believe what they have to offer. You should know more about what it offers to be sure about it. But I still don't want to follow him, especially if I don't know the person.
I'd rather stick with the platform I already use than get scammed. If you can withdraw all your money on the platform, withdraw immediately before you regret it and never deal with that person again.

Are they trying to send you a PM in advance so that you are tricked by the offer to follow the steps given to mislead you?
Once again people who are not in the know then it is a scam, you have to avoid it, well this is very unfortunate because if it's like this then your money will never come back again as expected.
I said,,, there are many platforms that they just created to resemble exchanges and they used to spread through PM with the lure of the lure of getting big bonuses,, know that it is nonsense and is trying to deceive many people.

Already sound like an imitation of Bitcoin which they called "Hitcoin", well from your post OP, it seems that in just a few sentences we can already say it's a scam. Since you'll have to pay 10% as a fee to recover your funds? Which you can't experience in other platforms unless that gas is high. And never ever trust someone's link even if you consider that person a friend, Why? Because people could quickly get their hands on someone's account just to manipulate you into thinking that's them. And those links or sites might be a drainer for your wallets. If you're smart you wouldn't risk your funds to unknown platforms and even do more deep research regarding those topics. It's too impulsive to try it out first without gathering more information.
This is just like a newer version of the Nigerian prince emails, nothing more, nothing less. I just don't get it, it's like if someone on the street asks you to give him $50 telling you he's going to be right back with $100, he just needs to get into his car to get you the money. Would people fall for something like that? At this point I would say yes.
It is a little bit more elaborated than that because scammers invest more time and effort in order to fool the victim, compared to nigerian prince email scam. Some scammes play very long game and are willing to chat with victim for months before they go on the actual scam.It does sound stupid to us that know about that scamming technique and generally have experience, but many people are gullibl and not aware of all the dangers on the Internet.
If you ever come across a person where he advises you to invest in his own platform. So of course you should avoid those people but it will be good for you otherwise you will surely suffer. Many times it is seen in Telegram that many scammers show various lures to introduce different platforms with messages. And with links to various platforms, they talk about investing there and make many other offers. And if you come across those scammers will definitely try to trap you in various ways so you should stay away from those notifications. If you are asked to deposit your money into an account on such a platform, then you will definitely face a lot of problems in withdrawing them later. If you have to withdraw your money with a 10% fee, then the full fee appears to apply. So you know all these things clearly and then try to invest in those platforms it will be good for you.
I don't want to sound but is this for real? What does it even mean that you met someone on internet who told you to invest in some unknown crypto trading platform? I just don't understand who someone can fall for something like that. Why should someone you don't know giving you suggestions? And especially, why should you even listen to this guy? Of course you've been scammed.
That's a pretty common scam tactic in which "female" contacts the victim, flirts with him for some time and then moves conversation towards "incredible investment opportunity on xyz platform".

A question that always begs for an answer is, why do people wait until they have scammed 100% or the scam cycle has been completed before they seek for help or open up to other people in the community?
Because people feel embarrased to admit themselves and to others that they have been scammed in a such way. Also, when you see reactions like "If you had IQ above 50, you would realize while typing this post out that it was an obvious scam. So you didn't thought this was a scam, that proves your IQ is way below 50[/i]", so no wonder that many people decide to rather suck it up then ask for help.

Men (and women) tend to switch off their brain when they fall in love and scammers are very well aware of that. Hello,

No need to be hard on the OP. He probably realises his mistake now and has learned. Like someone said, the amount you have in that crypto trading platform is the tuition you have paid for this scam. I hope you are smart enough now to spot scams like this.

The site is just newly registered; it's barely been a week. It looks all scam to me. Try to do some background checks on some sites that you want to entrust your money with. As such, the site doesn't have a physical office and doesn't have any user reviews or feedback as it's too new for anyone to have used it before, I guess you are part of their first victim.

Very good dear you have pointed out a good point here that we all should consider while entrusting our money. I still doubt after reading few replies that the OP is telling true. Because this is just a technique to gain traffic for free and he might be doing that by making false statements. But i think i am wrong here as why would he do that by making his platform's image dirty. Source
It might be the rivals of newly made platform Hitcoin, like many rivals try to degrade their competitors by creating their image bad. But such cases needed to be dealt with solid proofs and i think OP should provide them.

What? How did you make sure that it is possible to transfer the funds back to Binance at any time? Did someone from this Hitcoin scam promised you that you will be able to recover your funds at any time? Why are you so gullible? Do you even know how crypto transactions work?
Global banking regulatory commission? What kind of BS is this?
I have to admit that Hitcoin is a pretty good name for a crypto trading platform. It's sad that such catchy name has been used for a scam.
I really want some legit crypto company to buy a domain and register a trademark with that name, so it won't be used by the scammers.

That's the thing with all these scammers with different platforms, that's why till today I respect this forum and appreciate being here.
Scammers have a way to make you feel comfortable in doing things their way, take a look as they let you get your fund in their platform and made you believe you can get your fund back, ones they know you have given them what they want that's when you can't even make any withdrawal or transfer and anything that made you fund from another portfolio that the end and you'd be losing huge.
Thank you very much for all your replies.
I understand that I got scammed. I invested money I needed so it puts me in a difficult position.
However, I will not continue on this scam so I will not pay them more.
Sometimes, in order for an investor to learn, they need to experience it themselves. You're one of them.I understand that I got scammed. I invested money I needed so it puts me in a difficult position.

You invested the money that you really needed base on what you said, but the only thing that you can do now is to move on, move forward, and learn from the mistakes that you've done. Many here experienced the same things that you experienced OP. I know that many here fell to these type of scams, and there are some who fell into different types of scams. Getting scammed once is still a good thing because at least you will learn from it, and you will not fall again next time, but getting scammed twice or even thrice then there's a problem with you already, and maybe just stop investing, or rather in some safe assets like Bitcoin, or Stock Market.
Don't pay them anymore. Many here already said that it's a scam, and I agree with them. Now OP I hope you learned a lesson from this mistake, and don't ever, ever do it again.
