Hi, I'm afraid I've been scammed but I'm asking for your opinion. I registered on the Vegobit exchange, I initially made a small deposit (around $500) and made a conversion from eth to usdt and then withdrew the usdt without problems. I subsequently deposited a larger amount to do the same thing, after converting I tried to withdraw but they blocked my withdrawal due to suspicious activity and asked me to make another deposit to carry out an AML verification. This all seems very strange to me and I would like to avoid wasting any more money. Does anyone know if this request is normal or if I have been scammed and goodbye money? I'll paste the customer support message here.
"Withdrawal Error: Since you have a new account. In accordance with KYC/AML policy, to ensure the safety of our customers, you need to undergo AML verification to continue withdrawing funds. To do this go to your wallet, create a withdrawal request and follow the instructions, verification is automatic, the verification amount will be credited to your balance and will be available for withdrawal after verification."
thanks to everyone who will answer me
There's no two ways about this, you have been made in a broad day light. Try to be more careful next time so you don't lose larger sum of money. The minimum i know exchanges do ask for before withdrawal is $10, try to use exchanges that has reputation and you're familiar with next time to avoid stories like this.
