Yeah I know it's a scammed and I have been scammed. My main question is what happens the worst case scenario if I try to withdraw all the money?
That is her profile.
https://www.instagram.com/donna_.wilson/


the worst and most probable scenario here is that you lose all your investment, and not get a single dollar back from the 180 USD you invested.

In the very unlikely case that they credit your account any promised theoretical returns, you should consider the money laundering possibility mentioned by @DannyHamilton and withdraw those funds as anonymously as possible...

please update what happens after you withdraw the full amount, and don't spend too much time chatting with the "instagram lady" with the cute toes  Wink

Well, believe it or not, when I decided to put the money I set my mind to "that money is lost". I will never reinvest more money no matter if it was a honest company or not. But what had me making me think is her "pressure" in a way to make a decision( raise or reinvest) and the fact that I could only raise all, not only part(that made me really thinking what was beside that).

After I read @DannyHamilton post made me think, so I decided to not do nothing. Money is lost, I will not touch it, let it be. I notice the Emily Schuman in the website of her, that the Instagram "girl" is using her picture(no answer yet). The Website is https://hedgeexpertoptions.com in case you want to check.  I blocked "her", I am thinking if I should report on it. What you think? Doing a search about the company as a scam or not you found squat:)

Ponzi schemes are very funny, they let you withdraw sometimes to make you believe it real, other times they don't let you withdraw. Have you tried withdrawing the "full amount"?
No  I haven't.
I've been thinking why she always mentioned that it has to be the full amount to raise
Even today she send me a message saying:
"Your trading account is dormant with funds laying idle in hut account balance.
Simply withdraw all or reinvest it to earn more."
I'm always wondering if there is another catch with that withdraw all...

Hi, I am going to try to be short so go straight to the story:
Some woman contact me trough Instagram first time in September with some normal questions. Her profile says "Binary expert, bitcoin trader, forex trader" with the website link on the bio
Slowly her conversation was about investing in bitcoin and the returns that could give. This all take till like one week ago, where I decided to put 180$ on in. I put it thinking that they were lost but something in me(the stupid part of me) was saying yeah maybe might be good. I put it trough coinbase and then send it in bitcoin
Well in a couple of days the money grow exponentially of course. Then she started talking about reinvest the amount that was already there, so the inicial investment plus the profits. Then I realized that I had won a bonus. I asked her why and se said the company give that to some new investors, big investors,etc. Then I get more suspicious with that. Then she started saying that the best way to make more money was for me to reinvest periodically with my new money. So make new deposits. I kindly deny and said that I need to know if I can take the money out first and see how real this thing is to make any more deposits( I am not, just testing the waters). She said sure, when the trading period end you can raise the money(ended yesterday).

In the meanwhile I did some search:
She has profile in linkedin, but the picture in Instagram when searched in google images, goes to a famous blogger of clothes and food!! So fake profile in Instagram. But she still puts pictures of the real lady with husband and kids....
The webpage as a stock image and the chat no one answers, and the design is...not fancy...something is missing
I can 't find any info about the company, no scam reports or good things. In some website, there was a rating of 85% that is a legit website but like with 2 ratings...
The website was created in May, but in the website they say they exist since 2012...

So when the trading period ended I went to the website, put the address of coinbase wallet and just withdraw 10$, to see what happens. It went pending till not long time ago where I receive a email saying that "We noticed you requested for withdrawal today, unfortunately you did not follow our policy of withdrawal by withdrawing all your funds. You are not allowed to withdraw part and reinvest part. When the funds you reinvested reaches maturity, you can ask for withdrawal again.

The normal process of withdrawing and reinvesting is to withdraw all funds first (Capital plus profits). You can then make a new investment in the same package or a new package thereafter. "


And the thing is that she told me that once when i ask her, she said that I had to raise everything...

What is the catch here?
How I am more vulnerable, except for the money that I put that I already take as lost.
You think I can try to withdraw the money?

Thank you people
