Fake Exchange & Trading Platform Fraud
The platform had a dashboard, a support chat, market charts, and a balance that grew. Then the withdrawal failed, and a fee appeared. The dashboard was a front end; the deposits went somewhere else entirely.

Never pay the release fee
No legitimate exchange requires a payment to release your own balance. Every additional payment is a further loss and none of them produce a withdrawal. If you are mid-sequence right now, stop.
Capture the platform before it disappears
These sites are taken offline quickly. Screenshot your dashboard, balance, transaction history, and all support conversations today. Save the URL and use the Wayback Machine to check for archived copies.
Where the money actually went
Your deposits never entered a trading system. They went to wallets or accounts controlled by the operator, and that path is documentable — which is what makes these cases traceable even when the site itself vanishes.
