I Face Repeated Demands For Extra Payments by Mexem Invest After Claimed $24K Gains

On September 22, 2025, I started investing through mexeminvest.com. A stock advisor named İ** a** repeatedly called me to get me into the system, and I initially deposited ₺20,000. Afterwards, an investment advisor on WhatsApp named y** s** sent me trade signals for assets like lithium, kerosene, and SpaceX. To test my trust over the weekend, I made a ₺5,000 withdrawal, which posted to my account on Monday. However, because swap and custody fees were deducted during the trades, I was told my account needed to be upgraded to a professional account, so I deposited another ₺10,000.

They claimed I entered the signals incorrectly and my positions were stopped, then immediately had me open a hedge position. I was asked to deposit more money to “fix” the account — I did. Again I was told there were errors in the trades and asked to deposit more — I complied. Finally, Mr. y** asked me to authorize him to act to save my account, and I verbally granted that authority. On Monday morning the account was “fixed,” and I placed withdrawal instructions for a total of $34,000 (my $10,000 deposited plus $24,000 in claimed gains) with Mr. y**’s help. Immediately afterward I was told that because the money would come from abroad I had to pay $6,000 in taxes, which I also paid.

Even after that payment, the funds did not arrive in my account. I was called again and told that Mr. y** had deposited $4,000 into my account, that my account was now “flagged,” and that I needed to send that $4,000 as well. Finally, Mr. y*** asked me to deposit another $10,000; I refused and did not deposit it. Afterward I was told my account had been transferred to a licensing company and to an insurance coverage process, and that I would be contacted by a company called Lloyds. It’s been a week and no one has called or messaged me. The person who got me into the system, İ** a** , has blocked me on WhatsApp.

In total I deposited ₺700,000 and I have all my bank transfer records. My account still shows the withdrawal as “pending approval.” I demand the immediate return of my funds from Mexem Invest. If my money is not refunded promptly, I will pursue all available legal remedies.
