I completed KYC, passed their so-called risk checks, and even received a “withdrawal approved” banner on my dashboard. Minutes later, support claimed my balance had to be “reactivated” due to idle days, and that only a same-day bank wire would qualify. I asked for the clause; they pointed me to vague “policy updates” posted after my request. When I pressed for an invoice, they sent a JPEG with no company registration or tax ID. They also insisted the charge is “temporarily refundable,” but only after yet another “audit,” which is classic loop-and-delay. The chat agent kept escalating urgency: pay within two hours or my profits would be “reversed by liquidity partners.” Real brokers don’t invent paywalls between you and your own funds. This is a pressure tactic wearing a compliance costume. I’m documenting everything, filing complaints, and urging others to stop paying invented tolls. The pattern is clear: stall, charge, stall again.
