I think I am the victim of a fraudulent brokerage, supposedly located in CA, with the Website premiumexchange.net. Over the course of 5 months, they have gotten 13,150.00 from me in BitCoin, not including the fees involved. The trading profits amount to 83,600. But in order for me to collect that they are telling me I have to pay another 8,000 for taxes to pay the IRS. Now - this doesn't make sense to me, and according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities Exchange, the forex broker should not be collecting taxes, or many other fees for that matter. I have received nothing to pay taxes on. I have a Tax ID number which should be sufficient for the broker. The request for taxes was my tipping point, but suspicion started with the 3,000.00 dollar request for Identity Verification, in which they never requested anything to verify my identity, My only contact with the broker has been email, and the account manage through a social media app
The Account manager led me into this blindly with her charm. Never alerted me to any disclosures, or possible fees, and on that basis - I have requested my initial investment back several times over the past month. They can keep the profits, but I am having trouble getting my investment, and they just sent me an email stating that I will not get my profits unless I pay the 8,000.00 dollars. I am on living on a fixed income - they have taken advantage of my vulnerability during the pandemic. I even threatened to report them, but to no avail. Attached is the last email I sent requesting my investment. to which I received this reply from the account manage on WhatsApp

Good morning Richard
I had a conversation with the broker about your complaints Richard
Just like I said earlier on
The broker made it clear to me that there’s no refund of investment
Just you withdrawing your profits and if you want to close your account with premium exchange then that’s it.

Can we have a website address, please?
 
In addition - under there "Four Steps to Start Trading" (at the bottom of the page) Number 2 specifies to upload the necessary documents to verify. That was never done or asked for.

Looks like Premiumexchange is fake and you were scammed. You deposited via crypto making your chargeback impossible. They claim they are US based and US regulated while in reality the address given (EM Limited, 168, St. Christopher Street, US) is most likely invented/stolen and relates to EU member, Malta.

In their T&C they state:

So suddenly its apparently Russian nsbroker (https://ru.nsbroker.com/) in Malta, while at all times they indicate the US. If you are Us citizen, contact your market supervisor (SEC, NFA, FINRA, CFTC) for further advice on how to act. Americans go heavy on scammers targeting their citizens, that much is already well known. Also contact Maltese regulator MFSA (www.mfsa.mt) as this could be identity theft of a potentially regulated broker https://nsfx.com/ (https://www.mfsa.mt/financial-services-register/result/?id=9803)

NSBroker is very similar to Premiumexchange:

Btw, here is one more, same skin, same narrative: https://extmarkets.com/

Scam websites are Bahamas, Germany etc, per domain lookups... so, probably a Russian con artist scheme.

Always check everything before placing money to 'trade account' and do not pay them another cent for anything they ask e.g. nonsense like add to margin, pay tax, pay fees... It's just your friendly scam sales agent with fake name trying to upsell you more bullsh*t.

Good luck.

Are you also from the US? IF Yes, please file complaints with FINRA, FBI, CFTC, FTC and the Attorney Generals Office for the state you live in.
