"Scam!!!! Stay away from them."

Scam! Stay away from this “company”.
I was researching more about Quantum project and then an icon popped out to register. Thinking that I was registering with the Quantum project I’ve put my contact details and within couple of minutes an advisor called me and helped me to set up the account on Naristech trading platform and to send initial deposit of £215. Then next day another advisor called who said that will be my advisor to teach me how to trade. During our first session he wanted me to download and app from which he will be able to access my screen. It felt weird to me and I refused to do it. Then started asking me about my savings, which bank and how much I have saved, then tried to push me to take a loan to invest more money into the platform. Also, to register the account I had to provide my debit card details, take a pic of my ID and selfie with it.
I’ve then done more research and the websites like scam detector has indicated that the company is a scam and that they are using a fake positive review. When I was reading more reviews on different sites, I found that some of them were copied and pasted under the different names.
I tried to withdraw my £215 which initially the advisor told me that I can withdraw, that will not be a problem and explained to me how to do it. When I tried it, I couldn’t do it, it said that the request has been cancelled and I need to speak to an advisor. I did spoke to adviser, and he stared giving me 100 reasons why not to do it. When I insisted that I want my money back, he started raising his voice at me saying that it shows I’m not a trustworthy and I must send an email that I want to withdraw my money and I’m aware that I will loose the money that way and will not hold anything against the company. He was getting intimidating, and I had to hang up. They were trying to call me every day despite me sending several emails to different people that I will only communicate via email from now and want my deposit back. No one ever replied to those emails.
I’ve blocked my card and called Police that scammers have a picture of my ID as I’m not sure whether they can use it for anything. I have also contacted my bank and explained what happened and was advised to open the dispute over the transaction to try to get my money back.
It was a lesson for me to learn and I will try and put my review on as many review sites as I can to help people to understand what this “company “does and not to fall for their trap.
