Lost my life savings to a 'fixed deposit' on CoinEgg, can I ever get it back?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling so stupid right now. I met someone on social media, we chatted for weeks, and they convinced me to put my savings into a 'fixed deposit' on this platform called CoinEgg. They showed me these amazing returns every day, much higher than any bank. I started with a small amount, saw the 'profits,' and then moved almost all of my crypto holdings, about $15,000 USD worth of USDT and ETH. Now, I can't withdraw anything. The 'customer service' is saying I need to pay a 15% tax upfront before they release my funds. I didn't even know crypto fixed deposits had taxes like that. My 'friend' has ghosted me. I'm in Quebec, Canada, and I just don't know what to do. Is there any way to get my funds back from CoinEgg? I'm absolutely devastated. It's literally my life savings.
