    Do you think it's likely that what you are being shown in their portal is real and transferable?

    Well, that link gets me nowhere.  There is a ccg-trade.site - which comes up as unsecure and appears to be trying to scam you into thinking you are investing in Tesla.  A couple or trustpilot reviews also returned, where the reviewers are having exactly the same issue as you.
    It sounds very scammy if they are not making it easy for you to get your money out.  You may not actually have any profit or the crypto you think you have.  I think this one is for more crypto savvy people than me I'm afraid.
    I tried!!!  
    it is actually "ccg.trade".  Long suffixes have recently become legitimate.

    Any way that involves you throwing good money after bad confirms it's a scam.
    Ask them to return your £200 deposit to the original payment details and tell them they can keep the crypto. If you have actually "made a few quid" they will be happy to keep the profit.

    Just set up a  metamask wallet and see if they transfer you anything back as they say. Do not throw them any more money and do not give away your seed phrase apart from that it looks like your money is long gone

    Not the worst I've ever seen but yeah that money is long gone. Chalk it up as a loss and report them.

    There are plenty of retail platforms where you can get access to crypto.

    Coinbase is a good starter. Swissborg my personal fave. Then there is eToro, Revolut etc etc.

    Golden rule, if anyone ever claims that you can make a GUARANTEED profit, it's a lie and a scam.

    GL!

  • As per my other post in one of the other threads, I seem to be caught in the exact same position.

    I made a deposit of £200.00 to a company called Coinitix.com, they immediately transferred my money over to a trading platform called InvestXE. InvestXE guided me through trades, however one particular trade ended up really bad. I pulled the plug at this time with a loss of around £50.00.

    I tried to withdraw through InvestXE back to my payment card originally, after a couple of hours they rejected it saying they can only withdraw to a Bitcoin Wallet. As I was in complete unknown territory by this point, I tried to take it back to Coinitix but they was having no part in it any further.

    I have done ever so brief checks of these Bitcoin Wallets, but to withdraw it seems you have to pay more to obtain this service. So it was like a scam-leading-a-scam and I did not want to risk any further loss. But yes, no idea which way to proceed with it. As I knowingly used this service I very much doubt my credit card company would be able to assist in reclaiming the funds so...
