You have probably been scammed. Do not send any more money. The so-called completion of a Liquidity check is meant to milk out more money from you.

I had an AI generated account with Benchmark.
Could you please post the URL of this platform if you don't mind? I want to do some small research for you.


https://www.benchmark.co.com/ i cant gain access anymore though

They are also scamming people using this
Code:
https://benchmarkfx.co.uk/

Australia financial services license also has warned about them https://moneysmart.gov.au/check-and-report-scams/investor-alert-list#!https-benchmark-co-com-1373

And this https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/benchmark.co.com#review-container

Yes its 100% scam, do not send any money to them, have you sent/deposit any money to them before?



I sent £250 Back in last June

They probably shut down their website after scamming some people. Weird choice of domain name by the scammer, though.

A small search shows that there is a warning about them from the FCA UK - https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/benchmark-benchmarkcocom

So, yeah, you lost that money (if you deposited some) but at least you haven't lost another batch for verifying your identity!

Pretty simple rule:
if someone asks for money to send you more money back > SCAM!


Oh no  Angry Cry..... Thank you for looking into this for me.

Is there any such thing as an AI Generated trading platform?

You're getting scammed! Or if you have deposited some $ with them in the first place then you have been already scammed!
One of the oldest scams , you have to pay $1000 to get $5000 in order to "verify" your identity.
Why are they not just taking that from your earnings?  Grin

Most likely those profits of your don't exist and are just random generated numbers on a website.
Care to share the name and URL of the website where you have made those trades and so called "gains"?

Im not sure if I am been scammed and dont understand the terminology. I had an AI generated account with Benchmark. I have gained some profit and wish to withdraw, the transaction has been sent and confirmed and has a block number but is not showing in my wallet (TAP Account) i have now received an email to say that a company called Blockchair are holding the funds as I need to complete a Liquidity check as this is my first transaction but to do this i have to put 21% of the value of my transaction into my tap account and buy bitcoin, once this is done and verified then the funds will be returned to my personal account. I this actually a thing?
