Fair Trade Opts has now blindsided me with a sudden demand for a $1,800 withdrawal fee.

This fee was never disclosed at any point during the signup,FXCM foreign exchange futures trading competition deposit, or trading process. I sent multiple emails asking for clarification and got nothing but evasive answers. They wouldn’t confirm what the fee was for, who imposes it, or why it wasn’t disclosed before. This feels like a classic scam strategy—lure you in, then hold your money hostage until you pay more. It’s clear Fair Trade Opts is using fake fees to delay withdrawals and trick people into paying more. This is not a legitimate practice—it’s manipulation and exploitation. I strongly urge others to avoid this platform at all costs. I will be reporting this to consumer protection agencies immediately.
