Problem I can’t withdraw my money from FXFront Financial

[Maria63]

I was added to a group in WhatsApp. Bella Rossi was the group Administrator and assistant to Mr. James Anderson (the group director), Mr Anderson was the one that gives all the study and also de signals. After observing the group for some weeks, Bella persuaded me to open an account with FXFront Financial, gradually and for a period of 3 months, (January to March) she insisted me to transfer money to Metropolitan Comercial Bank and then from my crypto.com account transfer to FXFront address. I deposited about $300K and traded with all the people from the group, the gains were very big. for every body, or at leas that is what was shown on the whatsup group, at the end of March Bella Said that the investment period was finish and that we can get the money from the account, when I contact FXFront the requested money for taxes, after that my account was frozen and they demanded I pay about $100K for taxes which I did, I pey for the taxes as they told me but they never issued a 1099 for me, I only can communicate with them via chat and they told me there is a lot of people requesting withdrawals and that I am in a big waiting list, that the only way to get the money quick is to advance for VIP withdrawals that requires a 10K deposit. The site can not be reach and my MT5 account is also frozed.
I just would like to know if there are more victims of them and what I can do to recover at leas part of the money I deposited into the account.
Thanks

This is an ongoing scam trick on every social media, especially Telegram and Whats app.

Why did you give them so much money without any proper research?

This scam is called Pig Butchering, you can google the term to read more about it. Asking victims to pay taxes and fees is part of their trick to steal more money from you. The scams are ran by Chinese criminals in Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar and all of the phone numbers, WhatsApp accounts, profile pictures, the trading, profits, etc. are 100% fake.

What country are you from so we can advise where to start reporting these crimes?

May i confirm the timeline please? You deposited $300k USD based on information you read in a WhatsApp group. Then you deposited an extra $100k in fees for taxes. So a total of $400k

-> Can you upload screenshots of the account statement please?

-> screenshots of Whatsapp chat (relevant parts)

-> screenshots of deposit confirmation? (if you cannot provide a full account statement)

-> what was the website where you downloaded the mt5 platform from?

Also, which dates did you make those deposits? What date did you join the WhatsApp group?
