Customer service replied and asked me to pay $10,000 to unlock the deposit. Because the financial regulatory authorities have stricter requirements of account and asset security, there requires more deposits. There are no clear regulations on the platform. It seems unreasonable to withdraw the unfreezing deposit.

Customer service reply: Hello, the company informed that because the technical department detected an abnormal problem with your account, which might be stolen. So the withdrawal did not pass the review, and you need to pay $5000 risk fund . Question: I did not operate abnormally, and the withdrawal of $20,572 was unsuccessful. The customer service asked me to pay $5,000 because of improper operation. Is this reasonable?

Unable to withdraw. The platform asked me to deposited $5,000 for risk fee. This made no sense. We were just investors, and unable to control withdrawals and deposits on the platform. I supposed it was a fraud platform. Only the official customer service responded. No telephone. I still had $25,124 in my account, but was unable to withdraw.

I though it was a foreign exchange platform but my account was locked when I withdrew. It asked me to pay $5000 as the margin but I could only contact it on line. I’m not sure about whether I could get the margin back.
