My cousin Samantha was contacted by a crypto trader on Instagram, who showed her screenshots of high-profit trades and claimed he could help her triple her money.
She deposited $3,000, expecting to see fast returns. A few days later, her “trading account” showed $12,000 in profits, but she was asked to pay a “withdrawal fee” of $1,000 before receiving her money.
She paid the fee, but her account was suddenly locked. The trader blocked her, and she realized that his Instagram page was filled with fake testimonials and stolen images.

Hi Keith,
We’re sorry to hear about your cousin’s experience. Sadly, scams like these are becoming increasingly common, especially on social media platforms like Instagram. Promises of quick profits and requests for upfront withdrawal fees are major red flags.
To help us investigate and warn others, could you share more details? Specifically, the scammer’s Instagram handle, website URL (if any), payment details used, or any communication screenshots. This information can help us publish a more effective warning and potentially prevent others from falling victim.
If Samantha needs help on how to report the scam or secure her accounts, let us know—we’re here to assist.
Stay safe,
Adam – ScamCrypto.net
