That is horrible.. I watched the documentary series on NatGeo called "Traffiked" by - Mariana Van Zeller. I've seen it is also now showing on Amazon Prime. The first episode is about scams, and the exact method you described was what they were doing.
They would ask initial money for some kind of investment on a website they made, they would show that you were making some profit (which was false data), ask you for more money as a result to make more investments. Then when they notice that you're slowing down with payments or are asking too many questions etc.. they pull out with all your money. Nothing was being invested in the first place it was all set-up to rob people.
She talks to them and questions them, and they believe that those in west are greedy and always want free things, and the don't feel bad about it at all. Even tho thousands of people like you are put into horrible debt and then have to start selling their property to pay the debt.
I hope you get back on your feet soon man! Remember all the hard things you must have dealt with in life so far like we all have, and you made it through the otherside. Stay strong <3

was that confirmation from [email protected] ?
If so, try the "Forgot passwprd?" with your E-Mail. If it comes up with "no account found with that E-Mail" or smth.. you have proof of that
If the E-Mail was different, check the actual confirmation link for typos..
A real confirmation link looks like this: https://uphold.com/confirm?token=\[xxxx\]&application\_id=\[xxx\]&intention=kyc
(And yes.. there is KYC (Identity check with state ID).. just saw that in the Link xD)
Both VMware and VirtualBox have their pros and cons, so check which one meets your needs better.
Virtualbox supports Windows, Linux, Solaris, macOS, FreeBSD, while VMware supports Linux, Windows + macOS (with VMware Fusion).
VMware, in addition, supports Solaris and FreeBSD.
Both hypervisors have Graphical Command Line Interface (CLI) and User Interface (GLI).
Both use snapshots, but VMware uses snapshots in paid virtualization products only.
VMware offers only VMDK, while Virtualbox offers more diversity with VDI, VMDK, VHD, HDD.
VMware allows NAT, Host-only, Bridged, and Virtual network editor (for Fusion Pro and VMware workstation). While Virtualbox has more options: NAT, NAT Network, Not attached, Bridged adapter, Generic (UDP, VDE), Internal network, and Host-only adapter.
Virtualbox offers Direct3D 9 and OpenGL 3.0 and 128 MB of video memory. The 3D acceleration enables manually. VMware has fewer limitations, offering more flexibility with up to 10, 2GB of video memory, OpenGL 3.3, and DirectX. The 3D acceleration enables by default.
Virtualbox allows Microsoft's VHD, VMDK, HDD, QED, Docker, and Vagrant. At the same time, VMware requires extra conversion for additional VM types.
