Vertex-globalmarkets.net kept asking for extra fees before releasing profits

Sharing my experience in case someone else is researching this broker.

I initially deposited $1,500 after being contacted by someone claiming to be a senior account manager. My dashboard showed consistent gains and I was encouraged to upgrade to a higher-tier account.

When I attempted to withdraw a portion of the profits, I was told I first needed to pay a liquidity release fee. After that, another charge was introduced for tax clearance.

At that point things started feeling suspicious. Every requirement seemed to lead to another payment request.

I haven't received any money back and communication with my assigned representative has become increasingly difficult.
