I was contacted by Option.fm unsolicitedly. (This was directly after i signed up with Secured Options, who scammed me too. Fortunately i recovered all my money from Sec Options). I had to put a deposit down of $250USA dollars (28 march) and then sign a DOD document with Option.fm, after providing my id and proof of address.The company looked plausible. Once that was done, i was phoned by John Stern (if that is his name) to choose on what platform i would like to trade. It decided to start at $2500 .But John Stern wanted $3000 instead, which i transferred on 18 April. When i asked what security i will have, being on the lowest entry level, John Stern said i need not worry, because "he can do it", meaning he could secure the trades.
I was contacted by him over a period of 3 weeks. I found him to be a smooth talker, sharing life experiences with me while building up trust.
Once i had transferred the $3000 on 28th March, 2016, i got cold feet and asked him to refund my money. This 'friendly' guy became abusive all of a sudden and told me that he had spent a lot of time and effort to put together a trade for me.
I felt bad and the first trade was arranged. He gave me the signal and phoned me 30 mins later to say i had made a small profit. Again i wanted to withdraw, but he insisted that i must 'trust' him. What happened next, was like a nightmare! I felt 'hypnotized'! He gave me signals with $500 at a time on opposite signals, seconds apart- and my money dwindled to $107. He previously told me he does not do one minute trades.
He phone me a few days later saying that he would like me to 'recover' my losses, but i need to put more money down and they will give me a big bonus. I declined.
This guy had no ethics and it is clear they trade your money until nothing is left to refund.
I emailed John Stern between 5th and 11th July asking for a refund, no reply.
