Is this broker a scam? Hi, I’m really new to trading, so sorry if I sound clueless.

Then they said I needed to pay a $1,000 withdrawal fee. I couldn’t afford that at the time, so the person who introduced me actually helped me pay it. After that, they told me there was another fee I needed to pay, which was 12% of the withdrawal amount, so about $1,800. Nobody told me about this beforehand.

After I finally paid, the withdrawal failed again, but this time it was actually my mistake because I entered the wrong bank account number. Then the company emailed me saying my account is now
