Fraud

On March 24, 2023, after several conversations with various advisors and motivated by the performance plan that they proposed to me, I requested a loan from a bank in my country, to open an account of 267 US dollars, they told me that I could withdraw the performance every week and that with that money I could pay the loan installments, once I opened the account as can be seen on the platform, I tried to communicate with the advisors and nobody answered me, after a few weeks they called me to tell me that I should to invest in order to generate profits, completely changing what they had offered me, several people began to call me suggesting that I make more loans to invest. Given the situation, I had several discussions with each person who raised the issue and exposed my disagreement and requested cancel the account, but they told me that it was not possible to cancel the account and that I had to sign a contract with companies to carry out a minimum of 50 operations and thus be able to make the withdrawals, I once again expressed my disagreement and asked them to return the 267 dollars, but It was not possible, we stopped talking for a while, and they call me again saying that due to the lack of information provided and my disagreement, the company would compensate me with 5,000 dollars, but oh surprise, to withdraw the supposed 5,000 dollars, I had to invest 3,000 dollars to sign the said Contract, and that this was the conditions to be able to withdraw, to this day they have not called me again, and I try to withdraw the 267 dollars that I deposited, but it has not been possible, obviously it is a scam.
