Tradexentral.com showed me forex profits and then demanded a $15,000 tax payment

I followed a forex promoter who used tradexentral.com and sent Bitcoin after seeing trading screenshots and apparent weekly earnings. The early updates made me believe that my account was growing.

After I had invested a total of $15,000, I asked to withdraw the account. Instead of receiving the money, I was told that I had to pay a $15,000 tax before the withdrawal could proceed.

I realized that paying another large amount would only deepen the loss. I am documenting this so others do not confuse screenshots, account balances, or a social-media promoter with proof that a forex platform can actually release funds.
