    Hi

    I think I've been scammed. Had anyone ever heard of skyrocketrading? He's a lad in TikTok and he had 2000 followers and he is talking about trading and if your interested dm him which I did. He works through revolut and I had to buy 100$ bitcoin and then register with skyrocketrading and get an address there and send the money and buy bitcoin on skyrocketrading and it is showing me that I've made a profit but now it says I have to buy signals and its €350. Anyone know anything about this. I'm obviously a novice ad you can see.

    110% scam and that's without knowing anything about Skyrockettrading beyond what you shared. Anyone selling you courses etc. are by definition doing so because they can't make money (if you can make money why share it? If you say out of goodness of their heart then I got a lovely red bridge for sale in California…) from what they are teaching you. Highest probability is that you are on a simulated account rather than an actual account as this is a common way to scam people to invest more (which as it's bitcoin going to dodgy locations will never be recovered). Your money is lost; you are not going to get any of it back and you've bought yourself an lesson in how to be scammed. If you don't understand what you do; don't invest and if you think there's a quick way to get rich you are about to be scammed even more esp. if you have to pay how to learn it.

    If you want to to invest in Crypto then go with a major main exchange such as Kraken instead and learn and read more and be aware you're putting money in one of the most volatile type of products out there.

    It's quite a shame that this kind of thing is still happening anyways my advice is as always as the saying goes DYOR cos the DeFi space is full of sh*t scams & peel your eyes open to avoid being a victim.
