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.
