Withdrawing money from your MQL5 account

 

I accidentally put too much money into my account to pay a programmer for an EA they made me recently in the MQL5 Freelance section.

The job is finished and the programmer has been paid in full, but I now cannot see how I withdraw the excess amount of $120.60 I have in my account.

Anyone know how I can get my money back as the only 'withdraw funds' option I can see is for programmers who have earned money here?
 
Contact service desk and explain the reason to have it unlocked so you can withdraw. By default what you deposit, cannot be withdrawn. 
 
if not possible only way to use for another freelance programmer fee or purchase the products or signals...

Obviously it is possible, but MQL5 have decided to not offer that option.

What if I had accidentally deposited $10,000 into my account?

'Sorry, you have to buy $10,000 worth of our products & services' simply isn't good enough. 

There must be a way to withdraw it.

Withholding funds from the rightful owner? Isn't that called stealing?

It is unlocked, but I can't withdraw my own money.

This is theft, pure & simple. 

24 hours later, but no reply from Support.

 

hahaha no one gives a ****.

Just don't accidentally put extra funds in your MQL5 account is my advice.

I hope this helps someone else from being ripped off.

You should wait for reply of Support. It took some days for reply in some cases (and they only can help in this situation).

For all we know, you could be a money launderer, trying to wash your dirty money.
