Binary Options broker 'BinaryTradePro' just froze my account and is demanding a 'premium subscription fee' to unfreeze it for withdrawal. Scam or legit?
Hi everyone, I'm feeling sick to my stomach right now. I got into binary options trading a few months back, thought I was doing pretty well, you know, some small wins, reinvesting. This platform, BinaryTradePro, seemed okay at first. I'd put in about £7,000 over a few deposits, mostly through my Revolut card, thinking it was safer. Now I tried to withdraw a decent chunk, about £4,500, because honestly, I needed the cash. And they just froze my account. No warning. Then I get this email saying my account is 'inactive' due to 'insufficient trading volume' and to unfreeze it and process any withdrawal, I need to pay a 'premium subscription fee' of £1,200. Is this normal? My gut says scam, but I'm desperate to get my money out. What should I do? I'm in Glasgow, UK, btw.
My binary options broker is demanding an 'account verification fee' to release my small profit, is this a scam?
Hey everyone, feeling really stupid right now. I got into binary options trading a few months ago after seeing some ads, figured I'd try a small amount to see how it goes. I started with like 500 quid, and after a couple of 'successful' trades (mostly thanks to an 'account manager' who kept pushing me), my balance is showing about 2,500. I tried to withdraw a small profit, like 500, just to test the waters, and now the broker is saying I need to pay an "account verification fee" of 300 euros before they can process *any* withdrawal. They're saying it's for 'international compliance'. This sounds really fishy to me. I mean, they never mentioned this fee when I signed up. Is this a common thing? Or have I been completely played? What should I do? I'm in Dublin, and I used my Revolut card to deposit, if that helps.
