Description

-Polaris-trade.com is a cryptocurrency trading website.m, well I believed it to be. I started investing cryptocurrency (BTC) bitcoin to be exact for Polaris-trade.com to invest and make me more money. I’ve sent over $2,500 that came from my checking account, converted into Cash app, converted into bitcoin then sent to Polaris-trade.com to invest (day trade). Within 7 weeks My account on Polaris-trade.com reached $6,300.00. With this being a website’s I’ve never done business with, I contacted my account manager with Polaris-trade.com (Wilson Busch) and inform him I would like to withdraw $6,000 and leave $300 in my account for future trading. I tried many times to withdraw from my account, Polaris-trade.com ask me to send 4 different BTC payments to different wallets. Withdrawal fee, U.S tax commission fee, early withdrawal fee and a bypass fee. The last $300 BTC payment wallet address Polaris-trade.com gave me was to the U.S Crypto Tax Commission. I paid it with in minutes and sent confirmation to Polaris-trade.com. That was 5 days ago. Polaris-trade.com Claims they’re still waiting on the U.S Crypto Tax Commission to confirm they received payment. Now they’re saying I have to send another $500 BTC to bypass the U.S Cryto Tax Commission fee when I’ve already paid it. I still have not received funds from Poloris-trade.com after paying fee after fee after fee. I have paid every fee they have ask for and Polaris-trade.com still will not send me funds owed. I was scammed
