I am curious what website you meet this friend. I smell something fishy that don't tell me you're into these websites like OF or dating apps?

It's a scam and that's why I want to know where did you meet this scammer. It's an obvious scam when that person mentioned you a certain platform where you should deposit your money. And upon making some things to show that you're winning with your trades and an increase in the amount of money you've got, they want you to deposit. That's the next scam that they want you to bite and, there's no way to get your money back. The name of the exchange itself is sketchy.

if you thought it was too good to be true you should not have deposited $100. there are a lot of scammers looking for victims online. I am curious as to what made you decide to actually give in and deposit money on their website.

if they continue contacting you and trying to convince you to deposit more or pay the "handling fee" just ignore them, you'll get scammed again if you send them any money.

anyway, at least you didn't lose more money, there have been victims who posted here in the forum saying that they lost thousands of dollars to this type of scam.

I haven't heard of them. Just know that you have been scammed. Any crypto trading platform that asks for payment as a condition to withdrawal of your funds is a scam crypto trading platform. Your friend has don you dirty for not being opened and straightforward with it. Secondly you did yourself dirty by listening and trusting your friend 100% without doing your due diligence.

There is a lesson to learn from this -Do your own research because if you don't you will wish you had.
