My profits disappeared after I refused to deposit again

For almost a month my trading account kept showing positive returns every single day. The account manager would message me constantly saying my portfolio was performing well and that I should increase my investment while the market conditions were “still favorable.”

I already deposited more than I originally planned, so when they asked me again last week to add another larger amount, I finally said no.

That’s when everything changed almost immediately.

The next morning I logged in and most of my profits were suddenly gone. The dashboard showed multiple losing trades that supposedly happened overnight, wiping out a huge part of the balance. When I contacted support, they blamed “market volatility” and said I could recover the losses quickly if I deposited more funds to stabilize the account.

That response honestly made my stomach drop because it felt less like trading and more like pressure. Before I refused to deposit again, my account somehow never had major losses. The second I stopped sending money, the profits vanished and now they’re acting like the solution is another payment.

I searched online for “profits disappeared after refusing deposit” and “broker manipulating trading account balance” and found a lot of people describing nearly identical situations with forex and crypto investment platforms. Someone in another discussion mentioned Jim Recovery Team while talking about fake profit dashboards and withdrawal manipulation, so I contacted them to help me understand whether the trading activity on the account was even real in the first place.

Looking back now, I think the profits may have only existed to keep me depositing more money. The timing of everything changing right after I refused another deposit feels way too suspicious.
