I was scammed by one “Bill” who reached out to me via Instagram where we communicated for about 2 weeks before Bill asked to move the conversation to WhatsApp. Bill then mentioned trading in crypto assets and asked if I was interested. I agreed and Bill sent me the links and instructed me on how to create accounts on and the platform Energize Trade. With Bill’s help, I started trading Etheruem (ETH) on the Energize Trade platform. Eventually, I had made dozens of transactions, and was ready to withdraw my funds. At that point, I was told by Energize Trade customer service that I had to pay taxes first. Then I was told that because I had used another ID number (i.e., Bill’s Energize account) I would pay taxes again, this time from my own account. After that, I was told to deposit more money to increase my credit score so that I could withdraw a larger amount of funds. At this point, I realized it was a scam. I lost about $209,900 to the scam in total but the good news is that “HACKWEST AT WRITEME DOT COM '' didn't give up on me until my money was recovered after I contacted West to help me recover my Ethereeum. I want to urge everyone out there to be careful about these people that promise high ROI; if you’re already a victim of any form of scam, you can do well to recover your funds by contacting Hack West ASAP.
