Am I being scammed?

Help!
I am new to trading and would love some advice. I am essentially following instructions on setting up for trading. I found an Instagram ad that was promoting that I enquired about. Essentially, they guide on what to trade in, and will take a commission of profits. The first step that they got me to do was setup a MetaMask account and add funds. I researched MetaMask and was comfortable that it was a legitimate site. I proceeded with the setup and added some funds. I haven’t shared any phase codes or information with the insta coach, other than them guiding me on what to set up and how via DMs.

Onto stage two. They want me to set up a trade account via Green Pips Markets. I haven’t done this yet, as my research into the site doesn’t give me enough clarity if the site is legit or if I am essentially walking into a scamming trap.

Can anyone offer any insights? Is this the usual process to start trading?

Thank you.

Hi @Blues79 thank you so much for sharing the details. In this case, since your case could be related to a security matter, the best thing is to contact our safety team at https://support.metamask.io/ and click “Start a Conversation.” Once you click “Start a Conversation” a live chat bot will appear on your screen. It will give you an automated response at first, but afterwards you should be able to contact the support team directly. WE WILL NEVER SEND YOU DM TO OFFER SUPPORT REGARDING MetaMask HERE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL :warning:

For now, please stop interacting with the person/team on Instagram, don’t send them any funds and never share your seed phrase (12 words).
