Description
I was contacted by a person who communicated with me in English and Amharic (Ethiopian language). This person introduced me to a cryptocurrency investment/trading platform called Ontrust-Chain.org (also presented as Ontrust/crypto.onchain) and encouraged me to deposit more money to increase profits. I was shown trading activity and was pressured to add additional funds, including larger deposits. When I attempted to withdraw my funds from the platform, my account was restricted and I was told my transactions were under review for up to 30 days. I was also told I could continue depositing funds and trading during the review period, but I was not given a clear explanation or a normal withdrawal process. I believe this may be a cryptocurrency investment scam involving a fraudulent trading platform and individuals who gained my trust to send funds. I have screenshots of messages, transaction records, wallet addresses, and communications showing the requests for additional deposits and the withdrawal problems. I am reporting this to help prevent others from becoming victims.
