## What it means
A broker is usually not your tax authority. Requests to pay tax, margin or unlock fees before withdrawal to a personal account, crypto wallet or unrelated company are major red flags.
## How to judge
Normal compliance review explains documents, reasons and expected timing. High-risk scripts say no tax means no withdrawal, account locked, VIP upgrade needed or unlock deposit required.
## User action
Stop adding funds and save chat logs, receiving account, dashboard screenshots, deposit proof and withdrawal timeline.
