Lucrative Trades has added a $2,050 “final transaction monitoring fee” to my withdrawal request.

They told me it’s needed for “end-of-cycle compliance,” whatever that means. I’ve already submitted all necessary documents and completed the identity checks. They confirmed my account was verified and that my withdrawal was approved. Yet they now refuse to proceed unless this new fee is paid. When I asked to deduct the charge from my existing balance, they refused. This seems like a rinse-and-repeat scam. I no longer believe this platform has any intention of releasing funds. I’ve been misled from the start.
