My in-laws put in $600 and were shown a fake $70,000 crypto balance

My in-laws were talked into a crypto trading setup after someone claimed they had doubled retirement funds using a trader.

They started with $300 in Bitcoin through Bybit, then were told they needed to pay for VIP service to keep trading. Their account supposedly grew to $7,000, so they sent another $300. A week later, the platform showed $70,000 and told them they could withdraw through Trust Wallet.

The trader then asked for 10%, which they paid, and the process kept moving through more instructions. A $600 deposit turning into a displayed $70,000 balance is not normal trading; it looks like a fake-profit dashboard designed to extract more payments.
