Trade Pulse suddenly informed me that I must pay a $2,050 “fund verification settlement fee”

This was never mentioned during sign-up,tr foreign exchange NFT withdrawal nor during any of the verification steps I completed. I’ve already submitted every document, passed KYC, and was told my withdrawal was approved. Then this mysterious charge appears. I asked for a written policy explaining it—they gave me nothing. They won’t even allow the fee to be deducted from my account balance, which is extremely suspicious. When I pressed further, they said it was part of their “post-clearance protocol,” which sounds made-up. This is clearly a stall tactic. Every time I comply, another surprise fee appears. I’ve lost faith in the platform. I now believe Trade Pulse was never planning to release my funds. They’re stalling, inventing charges, and hoping users give up. It’s a scam, and I regret trusting them with my money.
