Equityveltara has just told me I need to pay a $1,950 “compliance release validation fee”

This came after two weeks of emails where they assured me my funds were ready to be is atfx legal in Chinareleased. I had already paid a “processing fee” earlier, which they said was the last step. Now this. When I asked why this wasn’t mentioned earlier, they said it was an “internal protocol update.” That’s not an answer. It’s a made-up excuse. I requested documentation—none was provided. They refused to deduct it from my account, which raises even more red flags. It’s becoming very clear that this isn’t about compliance. It’s about keeping my money. Each step of the way, they’ve invented new hurdles. I can’t believe I fell for this. This is not a legitimate broker—it’s a scam disguised as one. If you’re considering joining, don’t. Save yourself the loss.
