IoptionFXTrading is now insisting I pay a $1,850 “release compliance fee”

This was never mentioned during registration or World-renowned foreign exchange dealersin any of the communication throughout the verification process. I completed all required steps, submitted my documents, and even received a confirmation email saying my account was cleared and the funds were ready to be transferred. Then this new fee appears. When I questioned it, support gave me the same recycled explanation about “financial network compliance protocols.” No official invoice. No policy reference. I asked to have the fee deducted from my balance, but they said it must be paid externally. That was the biggest red flag. This is not how real brokers operate. It’s clearly a manufactured barrier to delay and discourage users from accessing their funds. The entire experience has been filled with vague language, circular conversations, and mounting charges. I now believe this platform is not real. IoptionFXTrading has all the signs of a scam—professional-looking front, but behind it, nothing but deception.
