“I made the most stupid decision of my life when I decided to invest on a platform that only had positive reviews everywhere to deceive more people. Everything was going well until I decided to make a big withdrawal, they had let me withdraw a small amount at first and this even made me trust them even more until i needed to make a big withdrawal, they denied this and instead made me make several deposits as “tax” in order to approve my withdrawal. This went on for another three weeks and i had already lost a fortune and it didn’t look like they were going to release anything. That was the moment i realized what i had gotten myself into, i plunged into acute depression for about a month before i got in touch with a team that helped me recoup my loss, i didn’t even think it was possible i just had to send a mail to {SWIFTRECOVERY001 @ gmail com} as i was directed by someone i confided. If i wasn’t lucky enough to have gotten that information, i am sure they would have easily gotten away with ruining me financially.”
“I had almost 5 thousand dollars.
I doubled my profit. When I tried to withdraw funds, they blocked all my attempts. They constantly unsubscribed that they were solving my problem, and in the end they wrote off all my profit. When asked to provide information about the reason, they unsubscribe that they understand the situation, they are constantly asked to provide the same data. I provided all the information, as a result, my money was taken from me. My time investing on benarmstrong-trades was very good, I do copy trading and buy investment plans, making 13k weekly so I’ve move my investment back there.
I am now fighting an uphill battle with IG in simply withdrawing my funds, am being fed a litany of lies involving AML guidelines regarding my withdrawal requesting information they have no legal right to ask for!”
“I can't believe how terrible people have become in the world, how can a broker call me up and make me believe that I was investing into something genuine, in a couple of months I had been fleeced out of my life savings, till this day haven't even been able to get fully back on my feet. Having taken my time to do some research would like to speak with other people who have been through similar experience, together without a doubt I am sure with likeminded minds we can all get our money back. I met with a genius Freddictine gmail dot com who helped me get back on my feet again”
“"I recently had a poor experience with IG.com. When I tried to contact them, their response was unprofessional and unsatisfactory. I eventually had to seek the assistance of a cybersecurity attorney { R ÉS UC ° ÓRG }, who helped me file a legal case against IG.com. Through their help, I was able to recover my investment capital in full. While I understand that other investors have also given IG.com low star ratings, my own personal experience was even worse than I expected. I hope that other potential investors will take my experience into consideration before making a decision to invest with IG.com."”
“The most important question that interests everyone who wants to engage in trading is whether they withdraw on a particular platform, I also started. I can say with confidence that while working on the platform revenue Surveillance corps has already displayed more than ten times, no problems and my weekly profit is certain . Now i can feed my family easily with the profit.

“Not the experience I expected, If not for support from futuresaid,com. Would not have been able to receive my 85k locked in my account when it was disabled with no explanation and word from them at the time it happened and it took several months to get it back from them.”
“Scam scam scam avoid at all cost. They hacked my account and put order on my ISA account far away from the market price by % 1000. I’m going to action fraud police.”
“IG wont allow me to withdraw my funds
IG are currently blocking me taking out funds from my account. I requested funds to be withdrawn on Friday 29th October and was told I would receive it around Monday Midday
I was able to open the account and do many trades but when I want to withdraw money they requested I show them the bank account from where the funds came from.
Initially they told me that it's a part of AML regulation, then they told me it was part of ESMA regulation then the story changed again and they say its part of their policy that all bank accounts have to be verified.
The problem here is the funds came from a Revoult account that is no longer active. If your familiar with Revoult trying to speak to customer service is practically impossible if you no longer have access to their app.
Feel free to check out Revoult reviews @ reviews.io.
I explained this to them, however they did not seem to care and came up with no alternative solution and kept on saying you need to show us your bank account.
On their own website in the withdrawals section it says the following:
"All payments are subject to security checks and we may request more info from you before returning your funds, such as a screenshot of your bank statement or proof of identity.
We'll normally remit money in the same method and to the same place from which it was received. However, we may consider a suitable alternative at our absolute discretion."
Note it does not say anything about mandatory bank statement checks due to any regulation. It says they may request screenshot of bank statement or proof of identity. They also do not try to find a suitable alternative taking into account that I no longer have access to my Revoult account.
(At this stage I reported the issue the Financial conduct Authority (FCA) who advised me to contact the Financial ombudsman service which I did and provided them a report. However they can not intervene until IG has made an official response to my complaint which they have 8 weeks to respond.)
Back to my story...
So the only way I could message Revoult was by making a complaint to Revoult. I made a complaint to them and the next day Revoult emailed me over a compressed file which held 4 folders, one of them showing my bank statements. The compressed file was password protected with my Date of Birth. I was able to open the compressed file but not any of the individual folders due to a windows error message stating that windows cannot extract the files. I have made 2 further complaints to Revoult and requested they send me my bank statements in a format that can I open.
To show IG that I was genuine in my attempt to get my bank statements from Revoult I forwarded the email I received from Revoult which contained all the folders not just my bank statement. To me this felt very intrusive, but I felt like I had no other choice as I could not open the bank statement folder separately and save it and I just wanted my money back.
IG tried opening the folders and had the same problem. They said that they would get back to me tomorrow and try to find another solution. However the next day no one called. So I called instead and they would say the same thing - I need to provide the bank statements.
My money has now been frozen for several days.
So how do I feel about all of this??
Extremely angry and frustrated and it has effected my productivity at work. The money I have with IG is not loose change, it is a reasonable amount. It is money that I worked hard for.
If that money was released to me on Monday midday as I was told, some of it would of gone to a new crypto coin listing that took place on Monday at 4pm and went up 57 times on its launch day. This would of provided me a profit of around £250,000.
So far I have spent over 9 hours in emails and calls trying to resolve this.
I feel like through the whole process I have been treated as a suspect in money laundering and fraud.
Put yourselves in my shoes - How would you feel if you had to go through all this?
Lessons Learned and what steps I will take next:
I will never use IG again. Their spreads on US stocks were high and I could not modify indicator settings for the exponential moving average.
Also very poor service.
After this experience I am now actually frightened to put any money in a UK regulated institution such as IG. I have lost a lot of trust in the UK Financial system.
I will be closing down most of my UK accounts and reducing my exposure to stocks as much as possible. Also switching to non regulated markets such as crypto currency where although is high risk you do not get your funds frozen or treated as a suspected criminal.
My next steps in regards to IG would be to report them to Action Fraud tomorrow and investigate what legal options I have.
Be very careful where you put your funds.
The review above is a representation of my current experience with IG and I hope you find it helpful.”
“Absolute Rubish broker,, You wanna save your money, just simply do not use IG broker., They are changing their terms and conditions during existing contracts, so it affect you and you are in loss., Existing contracts I mean if you already invested in spread share account.,
Avoid this criminal broker,, they are more fraudsters then a serious and professional broker.,”
“I was given a professional status with very little margin requirements. I had never worked with banks or hedge funds as a professional trader but ticked professional because the person who contacted me made it easy because of reduced commissions on high turnover.
I don't know even today how to hedge my bets but IG were internally hedging against me. Their professional traders were making money out of my losses and incompetence. I lost 585k in 4 months.
Do not accept a professional status if you have not worked as trader in banks or hedge funds financial institutions.
Do your own research.”
“Made profit for the first time ever since i started investing thanks to Mr Bart Kasch. I was trading with binary options and had lost 52000 euros before i decided to find help if i can get it which is how i heard about Mr Bart Kasch who has been interestingly great in the recovery industry. I contacted him at BARTKASCH @ AFFILIATERECOVERY .COM for help and not only did he give me some useful trading tips, he also exposed binary options for who they really are and helped me retrieve my money. You should contact him”
“A friend told me she was into this online investing platform which turned out to be coin-bits and that it was going very well for her and she was making returns from it and I thought I could try it out as well. Turns out we were both caught up in a web of deceit, they gave us only a little percentage of our investment the first month of investing and demanded that we invested more to generate higher returns and improve our withdrawing power which we did because it seemed legit as a result of the first month payout we received. It was all down-hill from that point onwards, they made us invest more for a couple of months and at some point we had to put together funds to link our portfolios so we can make a one-time withdrawal but we were never given a chance at withdrawal.
My search for recovery brought me to stumble on an article on SEC that read thus;
“Not all harmed investors will be able to recover money, and many of those who recover money receive less, often substantially less, than their losses from the securities fraud”. They wrote In addition, that “even when harmed investors are able to recover money, the process for distributing the money to harmed investors may take a long time” and this was even more discouraging. But right under the article was a review that countered this approach and made several reassuring statements about FASTFUNDSRECOVERY.WORDPRESS.COM and their ability to do better than most.
When I made contact, they came up with a tailor-made solution where they focused on my specific circumstance before working out the best and most cost-effective way of helping me achieve my aims. My friend Laura followed suite immediately and she too was able to access all her funds sitting idle in a wallet.
The Crypto investment industry is gripped with scammers, starting with the brokers and ending with individual traders. In other words, as a trader, you’re on your own. There is little trust in the industry and if you still want to be involved, you must do the job, filtering the information in front of view.”
“I decided to give a shot at trading cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ETH and ripple as I was surfing online, a google ad of the false trading and investment company popped and click on the ad. In about 5 mins or less, I got a call from Ms. Adelaide who walked me through the process of creating an account and then depositing a thousand dollars. From there, I deposited a total of sixteen thousand dollars and my profit was almost at forty thousand but I couldn't make a withdrawal of my profit. They kept asking for money for withdrawal like SIP Certificate, State tax charges and the likes, which I paid for but still couldn't get my funds. It dawned on me I was only shown simulated trades and no trading really took place. This scam lasted for four months. I found a recommendation to employ the services of a top wealth recovery company written by Harry Pitel and Paul snorff who are movie celebrities in Turkey who we swindled by HybridReserve and Cryptonxt but recovered their funds back! They sang the praises of {James.korr @AT globalassetrecoup DOT com} a top penetration expert in the company who I then reached out to who intervened and helped repatriate my funds alongside some percentage of my profit. HYBRID RESERVE is a fraudulent company and they will make you question humanity. Stay away from the this false trading and investment company. Pardon my English as I am not a native speaker of English language.”

“Binary options involve predicting the movements of commodity, asset or index prices over a short time. Although they may be a legitimate financial product with many licenced firms trading in them, binary options are speculative, high risk products that are almost impossible to predict, even for professionals. There are groups of scammers who use binary options to steal your money.I would like to drop off few words about my negative and teaching experience with RBOptions company. Like many others, I was contacted by the broker in 2016, and, despite the fact I didn't have any knowledge about financial markets, got convinced by Peter Oaks, that I'll have all his assistance in order to make successful trades. Alright, sounds good, why not to try?After putting a large amount on my account, I’ve watched how my balance would go higher and higher. And , of course, seeing this “proof” of how I’m good at it, my manager Peter made me invest more over 50000 Euro. After a couple weeks of such magnificent trading, my account ended up over 340000Euro. An excellent opportunity to file a withdraw, no? No!! They released only 1500 in order to trick me invest more 100000. I didn’t have such money at the moment and I was put on hold....Weeks after nobody would even answer my calls or my emails. It became very clear, that I’ve become a victim of a huge and shameless scam. Time passed by and I was growing disappointed and very angry with my own naiveness.Only at August 2018 I came a recovery expert experts FASTfundsrecovery AT PROTONMAIL DOT COM, who works against binary criminals. It was a little hard to believe someone over the internet and phone again. So, I provided them with all documents related to my trading and waited. I got my money back, got trust in people back and I got my lesson!”
