Doing research is the best way to find the right broker to getting started with, the demo accounts say it all which can be used for testing the brokers' processes and once the broker is finalised we can start with small amount to further test the processes like withdrawal etc which we cannot usually test through the demo account. Moreover, we can find reviews of these brokers online where we can see the real insights about them from other fellow traders.

In my opinion, a scam locker will complicate the withdrawal process that we do, even though we are trading not violating the rules, it will freeze our account when the profit is large enough for no reason,
Indeed, many scam brokers use a manipulative system called a locker or profit trap. Even honest traders can be sacrificed because scam brokers do not operate based on fairness. Do not let large funds enter before it is proven that they can WD smoothly.

I guess we can also diversify our funds to different reputed brokers rather than depositing large sum of money to one single and then struggling to get these funds back.

Distributing funds to a number of brokers is indeed good, but in my opinion it would be better if we first find out the reputation of the broker, even if we only deposit $100 with one broker but we cannot withdraw funds, in my opinion that is something we need to avoid.

I think these concerns are legitimate. The use of "scam lockers" or non-transparent withdrawal limits can be very detrimental to traders. This is especially true if traders have followed the rules and haven't committed any fraud, but are frozen out of significant profits. Such mechanisms demonstrate the platform's unfairness and unprofessionalism.

Scam brokers are definitely not going to pay us a dime.
Therefore, it is better to anticipate by choosing a broker that has been proven to be good, don't just try a broker whose quality is unknown to us, don't be provoked by bonuses that can cheat, let alone a large deposit.
Agree, the main sign of a fraudulent broker is usually not paying out at all, especially when the funds start to become large. Therefore, precautionary measures are crucial: choose a broker with a proven reputation, clear regulation, and a history of smooth withdrawals from numerous users. Overly attractive bonuses are also often a lure, so don't be tempted without understanding the terms and conditions. It's better to use a broker with proven quality than to risk it on a platform with uncertain credibility.
