I was approached by an individual named George Bloomer on Instagram claiming to be a representative of a company named Flashtrade Inc. After a little research and browsing the website it seemed legitimate at the time. I'm new to Forex trading so I was ignorant of how to properly identify a Forex scam.
I have made two transactions of $500.00 USD to BTC currency through Coinmama.com into a provided wallet and was told I would generate a profit of which I could withdraw after a minimum of 7 days, and they only require a 10% fee of all profits made. When I tried to withdraw, I was told I had to pay the brokerage fee first in order to release my assets which involved paying more. I declined doing so.
Now I'm short of $1050.00 USD (including fees) and have yet to see any profits.
His Instagram profile is instagram.com/gb._.fx/ and the website is flashtrade.org.
I have since done more research and find nothing viable on him or his company. SIPC even denied them being a member of their licensed businesses.
