Legitimate exchanges never ask for USDT as a "release fee" or "surprise fee" to release your balance. If you received this request, you are facing a scam. Regulated exchange platforms operate with full transparency — all fees are displayed upfront on your dashboard, with no mysterious charges via cryptocurrency transfers. Be wary of any operation that requires payment in crypto to access your own funds. The rule is simple: no trustworthy platform works this way. Protect your wallet.

Wow, this is really outrageous. Someone actually got scammed by this kind of "unlock fee"? I just don't understand why they want to use coins to unlock coins. Can you believe this logic?

How many people are still being scammed by "unfreezing fees"? It's really unbelievable.

Really, I've seen too many of these "unlock fee" tricks, and beginners always fall for them...
