Etherelites recently slapped me with a $2,100 “fund validation fee”

This was never mentioned before,Foreign exchange margin opening in 2020 not during onboarding, not during verification—absolutely nowhere. I’ve done everything they asked: ID check, bank link, activity confirmation. All steps were approved. Then suddenly, I get an email saying I must pay this new fee before any money can be released. When I pushed for a breakdown or justification, all I got was silence followed by generic responses referencing “corporate policy.” It’s exhausting and suspicious. They’re clearly throwing in fees to block users from getting their funds. This feels planned and deliberate. There’s no transparency, no accountability—just a cycle of invented charges. Based on everything I’ve experienced, Etherelites isn’t a legitimate broker. It’s a scam dressed up as a trading platform. I deeply regret trusting them and would strongly advise others to stay far away. You will not get your money back.
