#reactivation-fee

My account with IronFX offshore is 'frozen', they're demanding an 'account reactivation fee' now. Help?

Hi everyone, I'm feeling sick to my stomach about this whole situation. I invested a decent chunk of my savings, about 12k AUD, with IronFX offshore after seeing some really flashy ads on social media. Everything seemed fine, I even saw some 'profits' building up in my account, which made me put in more. About a month ago, I tried to make a withdrawal to pay for some unexpected medical bills, and suddenly my account was 'frozen'. They're now saying I need to pay an "account reactivation fee" of 10% of my balance, around 1.2k AUD, before they can process *any* withdrawals. They keep saying it's for 'security protocols' and 'regulatory compliance'. It sounds fishy, but I'm desperate to get my money back. Is this legit? Has anyone dealt with this IronFX offshore before? What should I do? I'm worried if I pay, they'll just ask for more.
