π¬ Victim Testimonies
Withdrawal Denials & Account Suspension
“I had balance over $10,000 I am planning to withdraw but my account is suddenly disabled I am unable to login. Freezing capital without any explanation and response.”
“Scam broker with huge slippage & withdraw denials. Don’t invest your hard earned money here.”
“My account was restricted and later removed without proper notice. The lack of transparency and responsibility made this a very frustrating experience.”
“They scammed me by refusing my $500 withdrawal (they refused my withdrawal for some ridiculous reason).”
$13,000 Withdrawal Blocked
“I tried to make a significant withdrawal of my earnings $13,000. The process started fine but then my request was repeatedly put on hold for review. After my last attempt, I found I could no longer login β my account is suspended. I didn’t receive any formal email about this account suspension or where my funds would go.”
No-Deposit Bonus Scam
“I received an email telling me I would receive $1,200 without a need to deposit if I verified my account. I verified it in 5 minutes and contacted them. They started lying asking impossible things… they are big scammers and liars.”
Unauthorised Trading & Account Blowout
“They entered 8 large placements and left them there for 4 hours without a stop loss. This resulted with this trader blowing out my 2 accounts… all of my friends and associates have also had their accounts blown as well in the past 3 months. Tag traders are still promoting these AIBOTs and not taking any responsibility for the hundreds of investors that have had their accounts blown.”
Bonus Trap
“This website is so amazing with 100% bonus but if you grow your balance above 100% and if you want to withdraw it, this broker banned you and lost your account equity.”
Repetitive Withdrawal Cancellations
“Very bad experience. They cancel my Withdraw Requests always without a comment or reason. Withdraw is requested to same Bank Account from which I have done the Deposit. Support isn’t able to answer why.”
Ghosting Customers
“Once they have your payment, communication completely stops. I’ve sent multiple emails and messages with zero response.”
