I can also confirm that the same thing happened to two of my friends, who were interested in crypto and I wanted to help them register on this forum and get involved in the crypto community.
If this happens again (or if you still know their usernames), please post in
Remove Proxyban (evil fees) - get whitelisted for free so I (or someone else) can whitelist them:
2. Get someone to vouch for you
If an established member knows you personally, they can post your username in this topic for whitelisting.
Thank you very much for this kind offer LoyceV.
Unfortunately, the friends I barely persuaded to register on this forum and learn something about crypto, after this unpleasant experience with the evil fee completely gave up crypto and never came back.
I can no longer convince them to try again and learn more about crypto, for them the evil fee has remained a sufficient argument that crypto is a scam and nothing serious.
It happened a few years ago so I don't even remember their username anymore.
For the future I will have this offer of yours in mind but for these two friends it is too late.
