I participated in a cryptocurrency trading online called ARTEFACT - CRYPTOCURRENCY EXCHANGE (https://crynet5.cc/#/assets). Initially, it consists of "mission task" or "welfare task" where you subscribe or follow a seller's page in the SHEIN website and post it on Telegram to the receptionist, who gets you paid an amount via my gcash. Then there's the part where you participate in a "mission task" that makes you invest small amounts at first. This is made of 3-4 investment tasks and you are not supposed to discontinue participating because it will forfeit your investments. It starts off at 1500 Philippine pesos, then earns 30% interest. Eventually I got lured into investing gradually larger amount because the money got transferred back to my account anyway, like a real investment I suppose. To cut the long story - I was led to transfer and invest a total of Php 127,800 initially and what’s worst, made an additional transfer of Php 148,800. When I was about to withdraw my total asset + interest earned (Php 394,678.00 incl interest earned) there was a withdrawal failure and supposedly my Wallet was subjected to risk control audits and was "frozen" by the system. I did make a mistake encoding an extra " 0 ". This has supposedly triggered a system audit and led to “withdrawal failure”. I asked to talk to a customer support but the Finacial Manager handling my withdrawal did not agree but only said that the solution to unfreeze the account and allow me to withdraw is to pay 70% fee (Php 276,000++) which I can get back allegedly together with all my investment/money. My funds will allegedly be permanently frozen unless I pay this fee. I now know this is a massive red flag, and that I might have been scammed.
