TradingOptionsPro.com The website made it look my investments in Bitcoin Trading look great, but then canceled my account and took the money. Denver Colorado

I met an alleged fx trader on Instagram named "Vicki Miller" or Victoria Miller who lead me to believe she could make a fair amount of money trading Bitcoin currency for me, considering all stocks and commodities were slowly coming back after the crash of COVID-19. She was using Trading Options Pro.com as her trading site and lead me to believe she could possibly make $10,000 from a $1000 investment in a week's time. It did not seem implausible considering how volatile Bitcoin currency is.

We agreed I would pay her 20% of the proceeds and whatever taxes there were at the end of the program trading session after the funds were sent to me. A few days into the trading session, I received a note from the website, TradingOptions Pro.com, that there was a change in company policy and that the brokers' fees needed to be paid upfront. I informed Vicki this was illegal in USA and not a sound business practice. She said it was the company policy because other brokers were not getting paid by their clients.

I went with it, seeing how well the balance was rising. I had sent my initial $1000 investment after buying Bitcoin through a CashApp software program. I sent the additional $2000 after purchasing it in a Bitcoin ATM machine in Jacksonville, FL. The problem with sending Bitcoin (btc) is that it is a one way transaction and it cannot be easily traced or returned.

When the trading session ended, I was looking at a healthy profit of $10000+. I requested a withdrawal and was told that now I had to pay $1200 in taxes upfront. Blindsided by this request, I did not have the funds to continue paying. I said it would take a some time to recover the money to pay the taxes.

When I cam back to pay the taxes and processed the fees, I was told my account had been closed by them and that I had to pay an additional $500 to re-instate my account. I complained this was extortion, but was told by Vicki Miller to just pay it and the money would be sent to me. So I paid in Bitcoin and waited. 

She said it would take 10 minutes to an hour. Nothing happened. I started getting worried. Then the broker would not return my calls and the website would not respond either.

A week has past since I lost the money and I have reported the theft to the FBI and various other sources, but I have heard nothing. I feel stupid that I was scammed by TradingOptionsPro.com and by my broker Victoria Miller.

I would not suggest anyone do business with TradingOptionsPro.com or Victoria Miller.
