My 'broker' 24Options denied my withdrawal due to 'unmet bonus terms' - is this a scam?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling really sick about this. I put about $7,000 into a platform called 24Options after seeing some ads online. They were super pushy to get me to deposit more, promising huge returns. I made a few trades, and the account balance looked good, like over $10,000. When I tried to withdraw $2,000 – just to test it out – they blocked it. They emailed me saying I hadn't met some 'bonus terms' because I accepted a bonus when I first signed up. I honestly don't remember accepting any bonus. Now they're saying I need to trade something crazy like 30 times my deposit *plus* the bonus before I can take anything out. It feels like they're just holding my money hostage. Is this a common tactic? What can i do from atlanta?
