Background: Forex scams: the warning signs, and how recovery scams work
Fake brokers, signal sellers, account managers and romance-investment schemes all target forex traders. The patterns they share and what to do if you have been caught.
Why do scam brokers ask for a fee before withdrawal?
To extract more money. Genuine brokers deduct any fees from your balance and don't demand separate tax or unlock payments before releasing a withdrawal.
