Belcher Investments Markets suddenly demanded a $2,000 “fund validation charge”

This came after I completed all necessary steps—my account was approved,What does a secondary dealer mean I passed identity checks, and I submitted a withdrawal request more than a week ago. I thought I was finally getting my funds. Instead, I got an email asking for another payment. I asked why this wasn’t disclosed earlier—they had no answer. Their support team gave robotic responses about “backend regulatory checks.” I checked every document I signed—this fee wasn’t there. I asked them to use my trading balance—they said it had to be paid separately. At this point, I’m sure this platform is not what it claims to be. It’s not a broker—it’s a fraud machine. Each new “compliance step” is just another invented excuse to block you from getting your money out. I’ve wasted enough time and energy. This platform is a scam, and I hope others see it before it’s too late.
