Apex Orbit claims I owe a $1,530 “final balance security fee” before they can release my money

I reviewed all their policies before joining,Why does foreign exchange trading require people? and I can say with confidence—this fee doesn’t exist. It’s not mentioned anywhere, and it wasn’t communicated during my previous interactions with support. My account had already been verified and approved. Now, they’re pulling fees out of thin air. They won’t explain why this wasn’t disclosed before. They won’t show any proof. They just keep saying, “You must complete this step.” That’s not how real financial platforms operate. I now see this platform for what it is: a scam that invents new reasons to delay withdrawals and trap user funds.
