Desire Wealth Management clone scheme locked down my account access

I am putting this out here because I think it is important for anyone who was approached over cold calls or WhatsApp to double check the exact link they were given.

I was contacted by a very professional individual claiming to be a portfolio strategist representing Desire Wealth Management. They sent me a link to clear a user profile on desirewealthmanagement.com and walked me through setting up a crypto funding deposit of £1,500 for a managed portfolio tier.

The layout of the user dashboard was incredibly tidy and even featured registration footers that made it look entirely authentic. However, when I attempted to check my account balance yesterday afternoon, the server refused my access code and customer support completely ignored my follow-up messages.

I just found out from official warnings published yesterday that this domain is a direct clone firm exploiting the reputation of a completely different, legally authorised asset manager. It has zero actual backing. If you are dealing with these people right now, do not send any extra identity clearance fees if they request it.
