Albert Phiri CXIPRO - Trading total deposits of 112,757USDT / 78,214 USDT in total profits refusal by company to withdraw California

I have deposited a total of 112,757 USDT to my CXIPRO Wallet between September 10 to October 17,2023. Trading was being done on a daily basis and made a profit of 78,214USDT

My account user name on CXIPRO is : alb.phiri@yahoo.com

I wanted to withdraw 10,000 USDT on Oct 18, 2023 and the withdrawal did not go through. I attempted another 1500UST and 1000USDT thinking the initial withdrawal was a larger amount. All 3 transactions were put on hold.I contacted the so called customer service (support@cxipro.com) and they advised that i needed to pay 14,078 USDT in taxes in order for the account restriction to be lifted and be able to withdraw the whole amount.

I have pushed back that taxes are supposed to be deducted form the profits realised from the trades. When CXIPRO insisted of paying the IRS taxes upfront that is when i realised this was a scam.

Before this huge withdrawal i was allowed to withdraw small amounts less than a $1000 and this did not raise an suspicions from my end. A total of 3,703 USDT was withdrawn to my Crypto Wallet making CXIPRO look like a genuine platform.

I would like to get back my 112,757USDT of my total deposits from CXIPRO.

I am not sure if the 78,214 USDT in total profit is genuine
