Hi, I’m new to trading, I’m a uk citizen and recently was approached by a guy from America, he convinced me into trading - on the terms that he would trade for me, over the course of a week, after depositing money, my profit grew and grew. In the end I was due a withdrawal of $31,000 on withdrawal I received an email stating that my funds had been withdrawn and for the transaction to be complete I would have to pay a further $4640 which is exactly 15% of my profit, to the platform so they could pay my tax to the IRS. Now I’m highly convinced I’ve been scammed, UNLESS this is a legitimate procedure while trading. Any advice would be greatly Received.
