Scam broker
A month ago I met a girl with whom we started trading in MT5, I invested $ 25k there, on the account now there is $ 46k on the account and $ 10k in the wallet. When I wrote to the broker that I want to withdraw $ 10k to my crypto account, they tried in every possible way to come up with excuses.

No tax, no withdrawal via a romance scam
I am not able to withdraw my balance because they say that I need to pay a tax before withdrawal. Of course, in the USA you pay capital gain taxes to the IRS during a tax return in the following year. I was tricked into their platform by a Chinese woman I met through the online dating app, Hinge, so this is likely to be a romance scam. They even threatened me in WhatsApp, as attached. Also, their WhatsApp phone numbers change every now and then. It has been almost 2 months since I requested the withdrawal

They’re asking for 10% upfront
I’ve made a few small investments with this company over the past month without issue. After I made a larger investment and attempted to withdraw my earnings, they told me that I needed to pay a withdrawal fee of $11,118.47 to receive my money. I can’t have that amount removed from what’s being transferred, can’t cancel the withdrawal request, can’t pay a partial fee for a portion of the money, or change the amount being withdrawn. My funds are also frozen until the transfer is completed.
