investment scram

I was contacted by Noah from CCTG, a cryptocurrency trading group based in London, United Kingdom. Noah reassured me that they were registered with FCA. Lisa Williams was assigned to be my financial advisor and we were communicating through WhatsApp. In the beginning, I did not want to invest a big amount so I started with $250 and she transferred $90 the following day as my profit. Lisa convinced me to invest more money as they had clients’ investing over $50,000. She opened a PAYBIS account for me because she said LUNO is not reliable. I transferred the money from PAYBIS to her fake CCTG PAYBIS account. Whenever I wanted to withdraw, they would ask me to invest more. When I refused to deposit more until I get my money, they told me to pay $10,000 in taxes in order to withdraw. A person from their finance department contacted me via email asking me to confirm my bank details to transfer my $26,400 which was $43,000 with profits. Another person contacted me claiming to be from the FCA, forcing me to pay that amount instead of wasting their time as they have other clients. I contacted PAYBIS, reporting to them that I suspect I am being scammed. I paid $10,000, however, they wanted me to use LUNO. The following day, they wouldn’t take my calls. I accessed the trading platform and there were no price movements. Before paying taxes, I had a balance of $5,300 and now my money was reduced to $745. A person from their finance department called and told me my money was in the blockchain and I need to pay $2,000 so I can get it back, however, I refused. I received a call and they tried to sympathize with me and fix my issue but I hung up.
