Ventotrade asked me for tax and clearance fees before paying out my balance

I deposited with Ventotrade because the dashboard looked normal at first. When I tried to withdraw later, I was told I owed extra tax and clearance-code fees before the payout could proceed.

Those costs were not clear when the account was opened, and after payment the account manager stopped responding. A broker that introduces large new fees only at withdrawal time is not acting like a transparent trading service.
