🚨 Classic Crypto Scam – Endless Fees, No Withdrawal 🚨
Only invest if you’re prepared to lose everything.
I was introduced to API Copy Trades through a Telegram group and initially planned to invest $1,200. After a duplicate deposit request (which I didn’t complete), I was told their system wouldn’t start unless both deposits were paid — so I was pressured into sending another $1,200 with the promise one would be refunded. It never was.
From that point on, it was constant demands for more money:
$1,000 “hedge against inflation” fee
$336 gas fee
Then a $700 “management fee” (which they openly admitted was increased because I “annoyed” them)
Every time I paid, there was another excuse, another fee, another delay.
The platform then showed rapid “profits” — completely unrealistic and clearly fabricated. When I tried to withdraw, I was blocked at every stage with new conditions:
Forced to withdraw 80%
Asked for more fees
Sent fake screenshots of withdrawals
Refused to provide a TXID (proof of transaction)
Despite being told funds were sent, nothing ever arrived.
The Telegram contact (using names like Randy Marcote and Mannuel Crypto) kept reassuring me, even sending a small amount ($100) to build trust — a classic tactic to keep you paying more. When I challenged them, the tone changed quickly:
“U can’t be arrogant and expect more profit”
That says it all.
Since then, no profits have been added, no withdrawals processed, and communication has become defensive and dismissive.
⚠️ Key Warning Signs:
Pressure to send additional deposits to “activate” accounts
Fees required before withdrawals
Ever-changing charges with no clear structure
Fake screenshots instead of real transaction IDs
Telegram-based “advisors” pushing you to send more money
Emotional manipulation when you question them
Even after speaking to the director, Ronnie J Beaton who stated that the behaviour of his staff had been abhorent and should never have extorted money as the fee should have only been $1000. Then he proceeded to demand $1000 even though I had paid significant fees.
A comment he did make was "he understands why his staff extorted money from me"
This follows the exact pattern of a crypto investment scam.
Avoid API Copy Trades. Avoid anyone promoting it on Telegram.
This is my personal experience — but based on everything I’ve seen, I strongly believe this is a coordinated scam designed to extract as much money as possible.
