Investment Scam

I was browsing the site: http://imaginationstuf?.network.

The site misused the Minister Heng Swee Keat’s name and claimed “supported” bitcoins investment.

I then opened a trading account via the link https://bitcoi?s-e?a.com (company named F?leader) and deposited usd500.

Via credit card payment. I received an email saying I have to send a copy of my credit card. This is when I became suspicious and i logged in to withdraw my money. The trading portal did not allow me to do so, and said i needed to complete verification first. So, I spoke to the customer service of F?leader.

Called IVA Atevens at 31386869 as listed in their site https://www.f?leader.com/contact-us/, and asked her to cancel my transaction and return my money. I also called my credit card bank UOB and asked them to freeze my card and also apply to dishonour the merchant for my payment. They asked me to register a police complaint.
