Redox Trades llc - HUGE ****, new website doing the same as before

I thought to email you since the listed address on the website I'm reporting is in the States. I lost $3500 USD through Redox trades. I invested $3500 Bitcoin into Redox Trades llc www.redoxtradesllc.com. I have family who have been doing the same and have had successful withdrawals. In December 2020, no one seemed to be able to withdraw funds from their investments anymore, but investments seemed to keep growing anyway. I noticed that the website doesn't work anymore, but now there is a new site with the same logo and name, offering the same investment opportunities. I figured they updated their website and platform. I couldn't log into my account on the new site and reached out to the listed contact number - no answer. The same number texted me back and requested that I watsapp them, so I did. The person requested that I pay $500 in bitcoin to a stipulated bitcoin address in order for my original investment to pay out to me. They said my account has been suspended due to the $500 arrears IRS tax amount owing. There is no physical address on their website, nor any answer at the contact number (except through watsapp). They have been pushing very hard for me to pay $500 and are unwilling to show me any proof that they have my $5000 I invested in 2020. It does not seem to be the same people from the original Redox trades llc, it seems to be someone taking advantage of investors who lost their money through the original Redox **** by letting them pay "tax to the IRS'. They are also accepting investments via bitcoin on this new website www.redoxtra.com
