For starters this appears to me like a complete rip-off. However I am no crypto skilled and do not commerce any. I figured I might come right here and ask the perfect.
[Here](https://imgur.com/a/a3SJNMh) are just a few screenshots exhibiting the stability and the “assist groups” response so as to withdrawal all of it.
They declare he must pay $62,000 in taxes from his personal cash separate from the stability in his account so as to withdraw.
Right here is the place I are available in. He calls **Me** asking if he can borrow $62,000.
I advised him I haven’t got the cash just because if it sounds too good to be true it most likely is and I am not taking that loss.
Edit: Title of the trade is ~~Coinlist~~ Coinlistxrt
Edit 2: He put in 200k of his personal cash to develop it to 500k.
Edit 3: Overwhelmingly everybody agrees it’s a rip-off some saying they’ve seen it earlier than. Truthfully, I really feel horrible for him. He invested 200k and because it looks like that cash is eternally misplaced. That is some nightmare gasoline. That being mentioned if you’ll make investments 200K into **ANYTHING** it is best to realize it higher inside and outside than your ex-wife.
Edit 4: Press F
Edit 5: Norton Protected Internet Report courtesy of u/Admirable_Ad1430 [link](https://safeweb.norton.com/report/present?title=coinlistxrt.com) for Coinlistxrt.
Edit 6: Some individuals have delivered to my consideration that the URL for the official CoinList is just not the identical URL as within the screenshot. The official Coinlist area is coinlist.co and the one within the screenshot is coinlistxrt.com
Edit 7: Seems whereas Coinlist has a horrible status it’s not the trade he was scammed by way of. Appears to be like to me like he joined Coinlistxrt which is an imitation of the official Coinlist.co web site. Because of those that pointed that out.
Edit 8: Thanks for everybody who provided their assist and helped out with this. This was my first submit in CryptoCurrency and I wish to say you all are superior. I have to get again to work now. Thanks once more!
Edit 9: As I’ve seen mentioned quite a few instances within the feedback he was the truth is advisable to this trade by somebody he met on tinder.

Literally the oldest scam in the book
They’re not gains, that’s an absolute scam.
Looks like a scam…
Scam.
It is a scam. I’ve seen this before
Sounds super scammy
What an idiot. This is definitely a scam tell him to stop communicating with them and if he has given them any personal information already to report them.
Why would you pay an exchange for taxes lmao, clearly fake
Looks like a scam to me. How did he get these gains? Is it his own account? Is this someone “trading” for them? You don’t need to pay tax until you’ve withdrawn it and you, in no way, would pay it to them.
Hope this helps.
Where does he have these gains? In “coinlistxrt”?
This sounds and looks like a scam to me to be honest. Did your friend make these gains from a much smaller investment through a crazy high APY?
He should accept the fact that he just lost his investment when he payed that place and there were never any real gains.
Do you mind sharing the name of the exchange so new traders can avoid this?…
Well, rip his $200k i guess.
It’s a scam.
100% scam, well known unfortunately. Money is gone.
A fool and his money are soon parted. Your friend became greedy.
Big oof, scam all the way.
Is this comedy? Only govs are allowed to demand taxes.
So obviously scam and your friend lost 200k
What if none of this was happening and he’s just trying to scam you for $60k?
The app looks like dog shit too, who uses times new roman lmao
the correct address is coinlist.co so i think the screenshotted site is very shady and not connected to coinlist at all
You don’t pay taxes to move funds from one exchange to another. If the site is legit he should be able to move his funds in btc for example to any private wallet or exchange. Do not send any further money.
If his 200k is in the hands of scammers then as for getting his 200k back not looking good unless you can come up with a great ploy to hook them… ie say your accountant has x million in funds ready to invest and once they transfer the existing funds to your accountant address (private wallet) they will work out taxes after which you will then transfer the, x million, which of course you don’t even if you had it. Make up a big number to try and get them drop their guard esp if they are greedy scammers. Good luck.
Well, [coinlist.co](https://coinlist.co) is the official site of Coinlist. The URL I see in the screenshots seems pretty scammy, coinlistxrt.
Making this kind of profit in this market should already give him insane red flags.
Where do people find these exchanges and why would someone frugal YOLO their entire life savings into somewhere without research?
Why would you put that kind of money to a minor exchange is beyond me.
> Edit 5: Shoutout to u/Admirable_Ad1430 for this link to Coinlist reviews.
Coinlist.co has nothing to do with any of this, look at the URL in your screenshots. It’s totally different.
200k hurts so much to hear. I feel bad for your friend but on the other hand he could’ve at least done some research and see how known this exchange even is before trusting it 200k.
Those coinlist reviews, as bad as they are, are irrelevant. The site your friend visited is a scam imitation site. The money is 100% gone.
>They claim he needs to pay $62,000 in taxes from his own money separate from the balance in his account in order to withdraw
Lol this gives away that this is a scam.
You can tell it’s a scam just by the serif font alone
We live in very different worlds – can’t imagine a friend asking to borrow $62k, or having that kind of cash to lend!
Some people truly are not ready to be their own bank.
Paying taxes to an exchange? Really? I swear this is an even less convoluted scam than “send 1 btc and get 2 btc back”.
I don’t mean any disrespect, but how does one throw 200k into a exchange without even double checking the URL and name? Yikes.
Will never cease to amaze me how dumb some people actually are.
What sort of idiot throws $200k at anything without thoroughly researching every little detail. This story is so rediculous that the skeptic in me doesn’t want to believe it.
How does one come to 200k in cash and still not do any research before smacking all that cash into a scam site.
​
​
And now he has to borrow further 62k to lose even MORE money to scammers.
Amazing. Just amazing.

Looks like they just started this scam back in April.
​
There is ZERO legitimacy about this company.
e-mail [domain@cndns.com](mailto:domain@cndns.com) about reporting this scam.
Also DNS is by AWS so

[https://aws.amazon.com/security/report-suspicious-emails/](https://aws.amazon.com/security/report-suspicious-emails/)
so 200k lost is not enough? he wants to put 62k more? Bless his heart.
What shocks me is that after scamming him on deposits, they still want to scam more out of him. People are really merciless.
Good lord. I hope this dude has millions in the bank because sounds like that money Is gone.
How do you have 200k and not enough braincells to know something is fishy here???!
Bruh this is Nigerian prince all over again lol
I don’t understand how people so stupid have 200k to start with. I guess rich daddy
Yea that’s a scam. You pay taxes to the feds not your broker/exchange.
I feel bad for your friend. I spend like hours researching how to invest my 100$ a week. I cant fathom how people are throwing around 100k+ without even a little research
Just tuning in and wow…that is horrible. Although it does seem like an impulse investment and spending 200k on something like that isn’t the brightest idea, but that doesn’t mean he deserved it. I hope he seeks and gets rewarded compensation one way or another, but as many know in the world of crypto…that isn’t likely.
God damn that has to hurt but my only question is how do you have 200k to invest with but not enough common sense to be check to make sure the exchange is legit and even then you should be able to see that’s a scam from a mile away
Hello, I enjoy readng through your article post.
