⚠️ Serious warning — please read this before sending any money
I am writing this review to warn others about my experience with this trading platform and the people who introduced me to it.
I was contacted by a woman who introduced herself as Evelyn Mora, Chief Coordinator of the Hope Investment Education Foundation. Initially, the platform gave me 1,000 USDT to learn trading. I managed to increase it to around 3,500 USDT, which I eventually lost. However, seeing the WhatsApp group full of people apparently making profits made me believe the platform was legitimate. Looking back, I now question whether those people were genuine investors.
Evelyn gradually gained my trust and convinced me to deposit 20,000 USDT. I was given a dedicated bank account and transferred the money via SWIFT.
My account eventually reached approximately 40,000 USDT. I made one trade myself, which went badly, and I lost the entire balance. I was devastated. Evelyn immediately encouraged me to deposit more money, promising that I could recover my losses and make additional profits.
I later transferred another 14,008 USDT, and continued trading. My balance eventually grew to around 67,000 USDT.
Then my withdrawals were blocked. I was told that the initial 20,000 EUR was supposedly a "credit" from the platform, even though I have bank records proving that I deposited the money myself. After I provided the evidence, they stopped responding.
Later, they claimed my withdrawals had been unlocked. I continued trading until I closed my remaining trades, and my balance eventually reached around 150,000 USDT.
I then tried to withdraw 50,000 USDT. The withdrawal was rejected, and I was told that, in addition to a 3% fee, I had to pay another 7% fee from my personal bank account before they would release my money.
This was the final confirmation for me that something was seriously wrong. A legitimate platform should be able to deduct applicable fees from the withdrawal itself, rather than demanding additional money before releasing my funds.
In total, I transferred 46,441 USDT to this platform:
- 22,374 USDT through Binance
- 24,067 USDT directly from my bank account
I have bank records, transaction records and communications proving these transfers.
My advice: DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY. Do not pay additional "fees", "taxes", "donations" or "unlocking payments" to access your own funds.
If this platform is legitimate, I ask them to release my funds without requiring another payment. If it is not legitimate, I want the 46,441 USDT I deposited returned to me.
Please be extremely careful if you are contacted by Evelyn Mora or anyone claiming to represent the Hope Investment Education Foundation.
