Some one help. I bought /invested 500 in Bitcoin with someone I was told I would receive my return in 7 days after after which I was then told I had to a 1000 for profit withdrawal fee. This took 5 days to reflect in my coinbase wallet at which time I forwarded the funds. Now I'm asked to send another 1000 for a Crypto receiving allowance Fee before I receive my return. I have not sent it.

Sorry for your loss.

Please show us the link that you used to be scammed.

We can post that it is a scam. Warning others not to be taken.

It was through Instagram  @forex_trader_sophia_. Claming to trade under legitcyptomarketfx.

I had actually initially invested the 500 and then was told to receive my profits I needed to pay the 1000 withdrawal fee, which I paid. Now I'm told when my profits were sent that the payment bounced back because I needed a 1000 Crypto receiving allowance in my account and once I send it my profits will immediately reflect in my account. I have sent 1500 total, I have not sent the 1000 "Crypto receiving allowance fee".
Did you mean $1000 is the withdrawal fees for $500?
This is no way that any legit service will ask that. This is a scam and it looks like you have already lost $500 if I read it correct.

This took 5 days to reflect in my coinbase wallet at which time I forwarded the funds.
How much you have in your coinbase account?

First of all I would like to thank everyone for your replies to my post, they have been very helpful. Also I would like to go over the situation again in hopes that it will clarify exactly what has occurred. So I actually contacted Sofia on Instagram after seeing her post about Bitcoin investing and the profits that we could get back from her trading for us doing the mining process. I actually communicated with her prior to me investing. I had spoke and texted with her on several occasions over the course of maybe three or four months so I actually did not jump right into it after just seeing her post. She was very knowledgeable and seemed to know what she was doing and what she was talking about, that's why I decided to invest with her. So initially I used $500 USD to purchase Bitcoin, then I sent the Bitcoin to a wallet address for my investment. After 7 days of trading on my a account I was told I have a profit of $7,500 and for that to be sent to me I had to pay a withdrawal fee and the withdrawal fee is $1,000. So therefore for me to receive $7,500 pay $1,000 yes it's a lot yes it sort of sounds like a scam but I'm thinking okay I'm going to get $7,500 is still you know $6,500 profit so I sent it the very same way I sent the $500 I used USD to purchase 1000 worth of Bitcoin and sent it to the wallet address that she provided to me. Once she received that thousand dollar payment I was told again my payment had been sent and it would take five business days to reflect into my account. The five business days were almost up when I was messaged from her stating that the payment bounced back because I needed to have a Crypto receiving allowance in my account. I have not sent this "Crypto receiving allowance fee". Sophia is telling me once they receive the Crypto allowance fee my profit of 7500 will be released immediately and that the crypto allowance fee stays in my account for a minimum of 6 months and through the six months they will continuously trade on the account. After 6 months I can withdraw the total profits from the account. That is where we are now. Thanks
