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
First of all, I never heard of this exchange until you mentioned it and this is bad when exchange ask you for more money, clearly they should've asked your information like doing a video with your identify card and a paper that says you wihdrawing this money, that makes you legitmate person and instantly grants you access to withdrawal function. So sorry to say your money's now gone..
Your first step was to research to see which is trusted exchange, I assume you're new but you should be more careful.
