Vaultradel.com showed me profits but then demanded an outside payment for a 12% tax

I was introduced to vaultradel.com by someone who said I could trade or bet with crypto by following their instructions. I deposited funds, followed the suggested bets, and the account showed winnings.

When I tried to withdraw, the site said I had to pay roughly 12% tax on the balance. It would not let me use the money already displayed in the account for that payment. The tax had to be sent from outside the platform.

That is where I stopped. If the balance is real and available, a platform should be able to deduct a legitimate charge from it rather than forcing another payment. I would caution anyone facing the same demand not to send extra funds just because a displayed profit is being held behind a tax request.
