My 'broker' is demanding a 'platform license fee' to release my crypto. Is this a new scam?
Hey everyone, I'm totally panicking here. I got into crypto trading a few months ago through a platform recommended by someone I met online – really stupid of me, I know. I put in about €7,000 initially, and their 'analyst' helped me 'grow' it to over €25,000. Sounds great, right? Except now I'm trying to withdraw, and they're just refusing. First, they said I needed to pay a 'profit tax'. I pushed back, saying taxes are paid after withdrawal, not before. Now they've come back saying I need to pay a 'platform license fee' of about €2,000 to 'activate' the withdrawal module. They're saying it's standard procedure for large withdrawals. My gut is screaming SCAM, but what if it's not? I'm in The Hague, dealing with what I think is an offshore broker. Any advice? Has anyone heard of this 'platform license fee' before?
My 'broker' IronFX offshore is demanding a 'platform license fee' before I can withdraw my profits. Scam?
Hey everyone, I'm in a really tough spot and hoping someone here can offer some insight. About six months ago, I got into forex trading after seeing some ads online. A guy contacted me from what he said was IronFX offshore, and they seemed pretty professional at first. I started with a small deposit, and my 'portfolio' grew pretty fast, like ridiculously fast. I tried to withdraw some of my profits last week – about 8k USD – because I needed the money for something urgent. They processed the request, but then I got an email saying I needed to pay a 'platform license fee' of around 1.5k USD before the withdrawal could be released. They're saying it's standard procedure for high-profit withdrawals on their platform. This sounds super dodgy to me. Has anyone heard of this kind of fee before? Is IronFX offshore even a real broker, or did I get played? Feeling really stupid right now.
My 'broker' is demanding a 'platform license fee' to release my crypto profits. Is this legit or a new scam?
Hi everyone, I'm feeling sick to my stomach about this. I've been trading crypto through an online platform that was recommended by someone I met on Instagram. Everything seemed fine for a while, I saw my account balance grow pretty significantly, which I was super excited about. I tried to withdraw about $3,000 the other day, and suddenly the 'support team' messaged me saying I need to pay a 'platform license fee' of about 15% of my balance before they can process any withdrawals. They're saying it's for 'regulatory compliance' and that without it, my funds are locked indefinitely. It sounds really fishy to me. I've already put a decent amount into this. Has anyone heard of this before? Is this a new scam tactic or am I just being paranoid? I'm in Newcastle, Australia, if that helps.
