Cpttrading made me wait five days after I tried to withdraw my crypto deposit

I was convinced by someone online to put $600 AUD into m.cpttrading.net for crypto trading.

The site accepted the money, but once I wanted to withdraw, customer service told me I had to wait five days. That delay made me realize I may have sent money to a random trading site with no real way to get it back.

I now see this as a hard lesson: if a stranger pushes you into a crypto website and the first withdrawal is delayed, do not keep adding money or believing the balance shown inside the account.
