What looked like a trading site delayed withdrawals with new “fees” and pressure to send more. I stopped sending anything and left the chat groups.
What general records and calm next steps helped others?

Stopping further payments was right. I saved site screenshots and chat exports offline. Anyone promising full recovery for a fee is usually another scam.
Resources links to official reporting pathways. I told family I might get more pressure messages.
Moderator note: keep replies on general safety and official channels. No private recovery offers.
Months later: documenting the platform name and approximate dates offline helped when I finally filed an official report.
