Lobstr was used to ask me for a withdrawal eligibility fee after crypto payments

I sent money in crypto after being told it was connected to fixing an Instagram-related issue, and the payments kept being pushed away from normal methods because PayPal was supposedly blocked.

After I had already sent about $500, I was shown a withdrawal eligibility notice saying I needed $1,000 in currency before withdrawal. That made the whole setup feel like a fee trap rather than a real payout process.

I stopped engaging because every new step seemed designed to make me send more. A real withdrawal should not require a separate eligibility payment.
