🚩 The Method the Platform Uses

A screen styled like TradingView/cTrader and a live support chat give the impression of a professional brokerage. In schemes of this kind the investor is first contacted by telephone, profit is shown on the panel after a small investment, and when a withdrawal is requested, new payments appear under the names of commission, tax or collateral.
