The more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems. They say you've won 300,000, but want to withdraw? First, pay a 3,800 fee. Selling your own coins is the same trick—money hasn't even arrived, but the fee is deducted first.
Why can't it be designed so that selling coins results in direct settlement, with the fee deducted from the final amount received? Why force people to front the money first? This logic is indeed a bit absurd. Twenty years ago, scammers played it this way—now the crypto world has packaged it more officially, yet so many people still fall for it.
It's really just the same trick with a different shell.
