Even if you found the platform yourself, an online contact who 'helped' is the lead worth tracing.
What to do
- List every person who messaged you about the platform and which app they used
- Check whether any 'support agent' from the platform itself contacted you on Telegram or WhatsApp
- Reverse-image-search photos of any 'mentor', 'analyst' or 'agent'
- Save chat exports before blocking — they go missing once you report the accounts
