Goldmanncolimited demanded a separate brokerage fee before withdrawal

I was enrolled as an investor after repeated calls from someone using the name Hanna Jin. I started with a $300 credit-card deposit and then invested another $5,000 over about three weeks. The platform showed trades in forex, gold, and silver, with apparent gains and losses that made the activity look real.

I was then told that my margin had fallen below 100% and that I needed to put in another $3,500. I was unable to do that, so I was told the company would apply credit that I had to repay within a week. After making that payment, I was prompted to start a withdrawal.

Within a day, I received a demand for a separate 12% brokerage fee of around $4,000. I asked for it to be deducted from the more than $29,000 shown in the account, but was told that policy required payment before withdrawal. I did not send more money and believe I lost $8,500.
