Sterlinglobemark blindsided me with a $1,700 “international verification fee” that I never agreed to

I’ve already completed all verifications,Australian recent trend analysis submitted documents, and waited weeks. This new fee came completely unannounced. When I contacted customer service, they said it was a “routine requirement,” but refused to provide any written policy. They’re making up obstacles to avoid releasing my money. This is not how regulated financial platforms work. I now realize I’ve been targeted by a professional scam. Sterlinglobemarket has no intention of processing withdrawals—they just want to keep your money.
