I was contacted by Mr James Blundell broker and trader for abrotradeoption.com an online options trading platform. Initially I invested $1000 for trading and James told me after a week trading I can withdraw profits by paying International transaction fee of approx $4500. After one week when the profits onmy account reflected $66000 approx , james told me send withdrawal request and I got return mail from company that I had to pay $4350 as transaction fee. All payments were done in crypto BTC. I made the payments and I got return mail that I had to pay $9700 for getting IBPC certificate which was mandatory to receive withdrawals . i asked James why he didn’t tell me earlier , so he replied he missed on that . I paid this amount with great difficulty in two instalments and asked James if any other condition was there. He told me earlier also and repeated his commission was 20% which had to be paid to him after I receive the withdrawal amount in my wallet. Next I was told by support@abrotradeoptions.com that I had to send a selfie with the IBPC certificate they had sent me and ID proof to release withdrawals. When I sent this I received mail that I should first pay $18500 as commission of Mr James Blundell directly to him and then only transfer of funds will be done. I communicated with james on watsapp and email that why they are demanding this and requested him and the company to deduct the commission from my account and release balance to me. They said this cannot be done and I have to first pay the amount. Till date my money is held up and the company has scammed me even of my total invested $15350 paid to them. I even requested that I don’t need profit and please return my $15350 to me to which they have refused. The IBPC certificate issued is also fake and has no validity. I am therefore approaching to help me get my refund atleast of $15350 which I paid to the company and Mr James Blundell be asked to get my money refunded.
