Hi Hamideh,
Thank you for sharing your experience. It does indeed sound like a classic scam, where initial small gains are used to build trust, only for more significant investments to be demanded with promises of higher returns. Unfortunately, these schemes often trap victims by making further demands once significant amounts are already invested.
If you have any more details to share, feel free to do so, and please proceed with caution if you receive further communication from the scammers.
Stay safe!
