Hello, I am trying to figure out if this website mercadobitcoinaps.com is real or not. It was recommended by a friend of my uncle whom neither of us have met. My uncle has been using this site for crypto futures and recently had his account frozen. The site is requesting that he pay a fine in order to release his funds. Is this a scam? I believe it is a scam because it also has 2 domains that take you to the same site. Was his money lost once he transferred it over to that site or is there anything that can be done.

The other site link is mercedobItcoinIkx.com

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
