Not sure if there is already a thread, I could not find any. I want to warn others to be very careful for this very convincing scammer as I was not the only one who got scammed, but I was too late to see it in time and was so busy from work...
I got very very very stupidly scammed by Skyline Trades US. The website has just been since yesterday on Account Suspended, when you contact the hosting provider, you will be redirected to send an email to webmaster@skylinestrades.us. Communications is via Telegram, this person is known by username "investwithpearson" with the name Sarah Pearson, an elderly reliable looking American woman with fake photo, I can't remember the city anymore but it is in the USA. She is very convincing. There was nothing to be found about on the internet so that is why I wanted to give it a try, first invest with a starting amount 2000 for 7 days and you'll see the huge profit on this professional looking website and then she keeps convincing you to invest more as the signals are very good this week and/or it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get huge profits. In the meantime you are able to view on your dashboard your profit after creating an account and logging in to view your profit. There was even a withdrawal / deposit page. And I requested a withdrawal but never got this to my bank. You can even get a bonus for referrals which she will ask you in the beginning (probably to see if she is still safe or not). After trading have ended you will first have to pay all kinds of taxes and fees, before you receive your profit. Of course you will not receive the profit.
I've just learned that she (or maybe it's a he) create new websites - 1st was astontrades.us - and once she got $$ will take the website down, and goes under different kinds of American female names Evelyn Gray, Vicky Morgan, Sophia Hicks. Probably creating more websites and usernames on Telegram to keep on scamming people from their hard worked money!!!
I've made some screenshots of the website before it went down. I will file reports to the FTC and to my local police.

skylinetrades.us
Can we have a website address, please?
 
Yes correct, the website is now dead as in "Account Suspended, contact your hosting provider", the moment after I transferred money. The url is not appearing completely although I've posted the entire url. So let me give another try.
It is (but then in full) -> skylinetrades.us/

I've made screenshot of it, see attachment.

It is suspended. How you deposited the money?

Try to chargeback.
 
Suspended indeed, that's what I have mentioned in my 1st post.. She/he is a forex crypto broker. I had to transferred bitcoins.
Already tried for chargeback but not possible, not even possible with credit card company.
Unfortunately I'm new to the forex crypto world and did not do any proper preparation to avoid this scam! I've learned this hard lesson.

Reported the used wallet addresses already on bitcoinabuse.com,
this 1 supposed to be the tax to IRS:

And their own

Filed report to the FTC and will file complain to IC3. I think I won't see my $$$ back at all but hopefully this person won't scam any more innocent people from their hard working money like I did!
 
They now use the website skylinetrades.net and an account on Telegram under the pseudo Kristin Bentz @kristingains.
They are targetting French speaking people through false testimonials posted in comments under a very popular video on YouTube. Title of video is "Pourquoi il est urgent d'investir manintenant". The group that uploaded the video is doing a wonderful job and they have a lot of followers. That makes the comments under their video a good channel for scamming newbies
 
Sorry this happened to you! I do hope you’ll continue to spread the word so that others don’t fall for this scam. I’ve seen some similar but haven’t heard of this one until now.
