They use hackers to hack social media accounts then upload images of them doing well in trade and to contact the so called agent that will help you. Instagram accounts are often used as it allows the account to be deleted and no trace of message history. WhatsApp is also used to verify your phone number. They ask you to install the TRUST app to your phone and ask you to purchase certain amounts of bitcoin to then transfer it to their account in which they then trade it for you and guarantee around 13K. They then ask you to set up a brokerage account by uploading your drivers licence. Once that is done and you want to withdraw the amount they then request you upgrade your membership. The email is sent to you with no names attached and when you reply asking for more information they tell you to speak to your account manager which is the person assisting you on how to go about the trade using messaging only and requesting screenshots of the process to help you along. The then request another amount of $1500 USD which is a silver upgrade and ask that the amount be sent again via trust app but this time to a different bitcoin link address. There was no mention or indication at all prior to the trade that this would be required to withdraw funds. Once the silver amount was paid another email was received requesting to upgrade to gold now and that an additional $3500 USD was now required to withdraw the trade. In that time the trade amount had doubled in the personal online broke ridge account that you can login to view at any time yet do nothing with. They have all these professional looking people on the website which makes it seem so well organised and genuine, yet the messaging and the experience with the so called agents are very much gas lighting when asked to clarify any given information. The only reason the experience went on so far is that the identity of the friend reassured it was legitimate until finally speaking with the friend directly to have it verified as a scam.
