I got scammed by Metamax with over $3000

I joined metamax last May 24, 2024 and invested all my crypto worth $3000. Unfortunately, I am unable to withdraw my money. Theres official SEC announcement urging the public to stop investing to Metamax. Im so sad. I wish that I shouldve used the money for my family. So to anyone out there, please please stay away from Metamax. Remember, if its too good to be true. Its usually is. Make a thorough research and dont just believe what other people say, even if they showed you their earnings. Its a Ponzi scheme. It is very tempting and they will urge you to make an investment urgently. I shouldve listened and cross check the said website. Its too late now for me, but I want to save those who are encouraged to join. The world is full of scammers, and nothing will change. It will just keep on going on and on. Please be safe.
