I did the same, had just over £20k in there and said I had a family emergency so needed the money short term but would invest more the following week once everything was sorted. Thankfully I got my money back with the £3k profit made. Never went back, blocked everything and have since kept an eye on this thread. Such a shame some people are really going to lose big amounts with this Scam.
Scams like these are getting more media attention. Anyone interested, have a look at this article from the Independent News Paper:

Emily would normally send messages on Sundays ready for the week ahead. I wonder if they did after reading Manoj M’s post.
I joined this group about 6 weeks ago and got some good advice on small trades, then came the DMA and XTB membership for Block-Trades. Admittedly I did join up and over 3 weeks invested £17k. Investing in their recommended Block-trades, i was able to increase that to just over £21k but something didn’t seem right and then they wanted a bigger investment. At this point I found this page and I started to research Professor Tim Wood and Emily Grace Smith with no luck. Everything said on these threads was true, getting whatsapp messages from random members etc. It was at that point I decided I needed to get my money back and leave. Luckily I did manage to get my money back after a couple of days of issues (apparently my bank would not let them deposit a large amount to my account!). Leave well alone, I got lucky.
