Description

Joined Crypto investment group. Group charged a 15% commission at the last minute, on any earnings, after the fact. Commission was sent, slightly over what was charged. Paul’s group stated it was the wrong amount and It was returned to an account that was LOCKED so I cannot access it without paying the “proper amount” in commission AGAIN!
