ActiveTradesExchange told me that a $400 “account clearance payment” must be made

This was never communicated during onboarding or Collection online websitetrading, and I had already passed all verifications. Upon requesting withdrawal, this sudden cost blocked my funds. Support refused to provide any formal documentation supporting this charge and only sent vague messages. It’s obvious this is a scam method to delay and deny withdrawals while extorting more money. I feel scammed and advise others to stay away from this fraudulent platform.
