It is no doubt that withdrawal rejection is the most serious and common problem that many investors met when they invest in an unreliable broker. Refusing to allow clients to withdraw is the typical trick that scam brokers do. Scammers take clients‘ funds away fraudulently. And make unacceptable excuses to delay and reject clients’ withdrawal requests.
Some scam brokers ask investors to pay extra tax or risky fees if the investors insisted on withdrawal. Tax scams are one of the common tactics used by unreliable forex brokers. WikiFX has witnessed many cases wherein a fraudulent forex broker scared their trading clients about having tax payments in arrears and urged them to pay quickly before being punished by the authorities. However, it is rare to see a forex broker that uses this as an ultimatum, or rather “threat” towards its client. These brokers threatened to freeze traders' accounts by demanding that they pay their taxes by a specified date.
WikiFX currently has made an article about the scam brokers rejecting victims withdrawal requests and even putting forward unacceptable demands. Please feel free to read this article via the link. https://www.wikifx.com/en/newsdetail/202209079914856356.html
