I was asked for a separate brokerage fee before my withdrawal

After being contacted by someone calling herself Hanna Jin, I paid $300 and then another $5,000 over roughly three weeks. The platform showed daily forex, gold, and silver trading profits. When my margin dropped, I was asked for another $3,500 to keep the account active.

Once I tried to withdraw, I was told I had to pay a brokerage fee of about $4,000 separately, rather than having it taken from the displayed balance. I declined because I no longer trusted the process and believe I may have lost about $8,500.
