Description

I have been trading through the Tickmill online trading platform. I attempted to make a withdrawal and was told that because it was my first large withdrawal that I had to pay a withdrawal deposit of 20% of the balance of my account to verify that the account is mine. I was told that after review, the withdrawal I requested and the withdrawal deposit would be released to the wallet address I provided. After paying the withdrawal deposit instead of releasing the funds to my wallet they added it to my trading account. When I attempted to make another withdrawal I was told that the IRS intercepted the withdrawal and I had to pay personal tax on the profits in my account before I could withdraw any funds, including the withdrawal deposit funds. So now, they have kept the $22,000+ that I depositied and are asking for an additional $25,000 for personal taxes on the profits in the account.
