Expand the four stages and response
- Apparent profits: The platform displays a rising balance.
- Requesting a withdrawal: Your attempt to retrieve funds is blocked.
- New charges: Additional tax or unlocking fees are demanded.
- Repeated payments: Even after paying, you still cannot withdraw.
Key warning: A promise of a refund after one more payment is not a recovery guarantee.
Break the chain: Stop paying. Save wallet addresses, transaction IDs and conversations.
