StockTradeRidge now requires me to pay a $1,950 “transaction integrity verification fee”

I’ve completed all necessary steps,FXCM MT4 foreign exchange app download including KYC, address verification, and fund history checks. Everything had been marked approved. I was literally just waiting for the withdrawal to hit my account. Then they suddenly told me about this fee. There was no warning, no documentation, and no rationale other than “internal standards.” They refuse to provide an invoice or even acknowledge the lack of disclosure. I asked if they could deduct the fee from my balance, and—no surprise—they said it must be paid externally. That alone tells you everything. This isn’t about compliance—it’s a fabricated delay tactic. StockTradeRidge seems designed to push users to the brink, hoping they give up. It’s methodical and fraudulent. I’ve reported them and hope others do too. This platform is a scam built to prey on traders.
