Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. Unfortunately, it sounds like you may have encountered a commission scam, a common type of fraud where scammers promise large profits but demand a hefty “commission” or fee before you can withdraw your funds. These scams are designed to trap victims by creating a false sense of success, only to disappear once payment is requested.
Unfortunately, the recovery of funds from scam brokers is an extremely complex procedure and chances of success are rather low. However, I would recommend checking the following article where we collected a few things you can try to get your funds back: https://brokerchooser.com/forex/regulation/scams#how-to-recover-your-funds-when-scammed.
Also, please be careful with companies offering to help you. There are many scams that offer asset recovery services.
If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
Best wishes,
Andris
