I tries withdrawing my crypto but I received this message"Our platform is tax-free, you only need to deposit 11,970 USDT into your trading account just to form a tax bill. Because when you withdraw virtual currency, all data on your funds need to be registered with the tax bureau. Deductions or reductions are not allowed when the tax declaration is not completed. Virtual currency is different from reality. It needs to be strict, otherwise many criminals will take advantage of this facility to launder money, evade taxes, sell weapons, and launder drug money."


have already Invested so much in their platform and seems like this is more and more money they keep asking. Is this a scam?

Whilst there may be withholding taxes in some jurisdictions associated with dividends or gains, e.g. my US broker withhold an amount from each dividend I receive and I claim that as a foreign tax credit, I'd consider the language you've quoted to be extremely suspicious and simply wrong in some cases, e.g. "just to form a tax bill" and "tax bureau". The platform couldn't possibly know what taxes, if any, an individual will need to pay, so I would incredibly wary of providing anything to them/it, @Anish_yanki .

Hey sorry to say, you've deposited to a scam platform this is a very common scam. Legitimate platforms do not ask you for money, they would simply charge fees. Look into pig butchering scam. They will keep asking for more money and never give you anything in return, its already lost and they are using what they stole to bait more money from you.


You should stick to compliant exchanges such as Independent Reserve or BTCMarkets dot NET for AUD to Crypto. Always do due diligence and search google for reviews or reports on the platforms first, never trust the top sponsored link from google for any investment or payment platform.


Stay safe, and yes you've been scammed unfortunately.
