My account got locked immediately after I requested withdrawal

Everything was normal with my trading account until the exact day I tried taking money out. Before that, the platform kept showing steady profits and my account manager was constantly messaging me about increasing my investment because my portfolio was “performing above expectations.”

I finally decided to test the withdrawal system with a smaller amount first.

The request went through initially, but about an hour later I got logged out of the platform completely. When I tried signing back in, a message appeared saying my account had been temporarily locked due to suspicious activity. That made no sense because the only thing I had done differently was request a withdrawal.

Support told me the account was under “financial review” and asked for more verification documents. After I submitted everything, they stopped responding almost entirely. Meanwhile the dashboard emails kept arriving saying my profits were still growing, which honestly made the situation feel even more fake.

I started searching online for “account locked after withdrawal request” and “crypto broker froze account after withdrawal” and found a lot of similar complaints from people dealing with forex and investment scams. Someone in another thread mentioned Jim Recovery Team while discussing blocked withdrawal cases, so I contacted them to help investigate whether the platform wallets and company details were connected to previous fraud reports.

Looking back, the biggest warning sign is that there were never any problems until money was supposed to leave the platform. The second I asked for my funds, everything suddenly became restricted.
