ForexOptionTrade demanded a $1,000 fee before releasing my displayed profit

I registered with ForexOptionTrade and initially deposited $200 after dealing with a supposed account manager. I was promised a profit after 72 hours. The next day I was told to upgrade by depositing $2,000, but I only sent another $100 because I did not have more money.

When the 72 hours passed and I tried to withdraw, the person demanded a separate $1,000 payment to process it. The account was showing an implausible amount of about $50,000, but they would not deduct the alleged fee from that displayed balance. They insisted that I send fresh money instead.

That was the point when I concluded the figures in the account could simply have been edited to create the appearance of profit. A balance that cannot cover its own supposed processing charge is not a usable balance.

I stopped rather than sending the additional $1,000. My warning is that a request for an upfront withdrawal fee can be the next stage of the loss. Do not pay new money to unlock screen profits, and preserve the account display, payment records, and messages from the named representatives.

Most of these platforms are scams, lots of cases of people losing everything to these type of platforms. They give unrealistic promises but in the end it's all lies. Just be careful when dealing with them, if maybe you think you already invested, use RankedSafe dot com and report them there. You'll get back everything you lost, they are fast, kind and reliable.
