Broker expressoptions247 and Jürgen Walter (LinkedIn)

[goodlivin4]

Hello,

I have an important question at the moment. On linkedin, I came across an individual "Jürgen Walter" who told me that they will trade on my behalf to assist me to earn profits. I sent him USD 183 in bitcoin as a test.

His broker: expressoptions247.com

First, the broker stated that I am required to pay $400 to confirm my identity. Below is an email:

to me

Hello Investor
you are indeed due for withdrawals now but currently we will be sending your document to the headquarters in Limassol, Cyprus where it will be reviewed.
Sending to them and acquiring the Legit Stamp and required documents that will guarantee your payment will cost you just $400
You're to contact your account manager on how to make payment.

Thanks for trading with us.

Then he told me that I am required to pay a fee to get my profits out.

Does this look like scam to you?

I seems like scam as I am required to pay a fee to get my funds out.

Also, I did not come across good reviews about this broker.

Also, on linkedin this is what he sent me:

• "There’s no cost all you’ve to do is choose your investment capital which you wanna start with"
•

That's just another typical "crypto trading" scam. The broker is no broker; it's just another Ponzi scheme page for scamming people.
Learn to trade on your own or learn about crypto and investing on your own and do it yourself.
There's no "make money fast" scheme out there, period.

All you can do here is to send a scam alert to LinkedIn (about his profile).

Thank you Marco just as I suspected. I sent an email to Linkedin to: phishing@linkedin.com to report the individual who is soliciting to lure individuals into an old ponzi scheme. The earnings on the brokerage is a simulation so everything is faked. Just putting this out to safe guard the public against such individuals and scam broker, https://www.expressoptions247.com/
