I came across a YouTube advertisement for stock/bitcoin trading. Intrigued, I contacted the company and initially deposited £500 using my credit card. I also linked my account to their website for easy access to funds and withdrawals. A broker named "Kaplan" was assigned to me, who advised me on trades and recommended specific investment amounts to achieve desired profits at the end of each week-long trading session. Unfortunately, due to my naivety, I didn't fully understand the process.Later on, the broker convinced me to take on a larger plan worth over £297k, which I didn't have at the time. In order to proceed, I applied for a loan, assuming I would be able to pay it back with my investment profits. However, things didn't go as planned. When the trades were completed and I attempted to withdraw funds, they asked me to top up three additional accounts with £5000 each. I couldn't proceed with this request, and as a result, my account was frozen. They demanded an extra fee to reactivate it. Out of desperation , I approached my bank to inquire about another loan to cover the requested fee. To my dismay, the loan manager informed me that it was a scam. They explained that even if I paid the fee, my account would not be unfrozen. The manager shared their own experience of being in a similar situation and being saved by a private investigator. The investigator provided contact information for a Recovery hacker who helped them retrieve their funds from the fraudulent platform. The bank manager kindly shared those details with me, and I reached out to them initially on Telegram (@Virtualhacknet) and later continued communication via email (V I R T U A L H A C K N E T @ g m a i l . c o m).I am relieved to share that the outcome was exactly what I had hoped for. The profits that were held on the fraudulent platform were successfully withdrawn and returned to my original wallet, from where I initially sent the funds. I am grateful to have found help just in time, as I was on the verge of losing hope and my sanity due to this unfortunate experience.
