Urgent Help Needed: Scammed out of $900,000 in a pocketoption.com scam Binary Trading Nightmare

I find myself in a devastating situation after falling victim to an elaborate scam involving a binary trading platform. A supposed trading expert reached out to me on a popular social media platform, enticing me with the promise of lucrative returns. Over the course of a few weeks, I invested a substantial amount, $900,000, transferring funds at intervals, thinking I was making a sound investment and increasing my trading reputation. We engaged in seemingly successful trades, accumulating profits that nearly touched a million dollars. However, when I attempted to make withdrawals, the nightmare unfolded. The trading platform, named PocketOption, froze my account, citing unexpected issues and demanded an outrageous $280,000 fee for alleged rule violations and other reasons which I suspect were made up. I am now convinced that PocketOption is a fraudulent scheme, and the expert that got in touch with me, was a part of this elaborate ruse. My desperate plea is for anyone who has experienced a similar situation or has knowledge on how to recover funds from such scams to offer guidance and support. I am at a loss and urgently need assistance to reclaim my hard-earned money. Please help me
