Alpha Stock showed me nearly $1 million but wanted a 20% fee before withdrawal

I was pulled into Alpha Stock Investment Training Center and the CBP Trading Platform through Telegram and WhatsApp conversations.

The account showed profits growing to about $962,792, but when I tried to withdraw, I was told I had to pay a 20% service fee first. They would not take the fee from the displayed profit, even though the platform claimed the money was already in my account.

That upfront fee was the real warning. The profit number was used to make a massive payment request feel urgent.
