Abstract:Fraudulent forex brokers are making various excuses to hinder traders from withdrawing their money. Among these, paying extra fee before a withdrawal is the most common.
Use a free 100USD as a trap
A trader sent us his scammed experience in biggloballtd. He met a Malaysian girl on the Internet on 1st April 2022. At first, he just wanted to chat with her to pass through time and didnt mean to join forex or crpyto trading. After 2 weeks of chatting, the girl tried to convince him to try trade the forex on MT5 and offered a free 100USD for him for the first time. She showed him how much she had earned through forex and said she she was majoring in this. He accepted the free 100USD and joined her. He made some profits in the 1st trade and withdrew out the money without any problems.
Pay $16,431 in taxes

However, the bad thing happened when he tried to withdraw - he must pay a tax of 20 percent of his profits, or $16,431 in taxes.
A scam
He can't withdraw because he didnt have that much money to pay the tax. After many times of communication, biggloballtd always insisted that the only way for him to withdraw was to pay the tax first, and the tax could not be directly deducted from his account. And he was suggested to borrow money from his surroundings to finish the taxes problem. And at that time, he knew he was scammed.
