A friend just entered one of the mining platforms and he has deposited around 200 dollars on their platform. The first 10 days entered around 40 dollars and successfully entered his wallet and the second withdrawal was pending and the company asked to pay a tax of 45% of the initial capital, which means around 90 dollars. then can continue the withdrawal. what do you guys think here, should he pay or let his money be in their company?
No legitimate company will charge such a high percentage tax from your initial capital just for your friend to be able to withdraw, you should advise him not to deposit any funds, and to stop working on this platform.
What you described is a typical approach used by Ponzi scam platforms where they pay you some money first and then ask you to deposit more money, only to freeze your account, seize your funds, and impose unreasonable conditions like this. Your friend has already lost those $90 in this scam, and I hope it will be a lesson to him, so be careful and make sure of any company and do the necessary research before investing next time.
