Problem Banc de Binary Mega Scam - Details of where to Complain to

[AnneW]

Some sites like that belong to the scam brokers. Others belong to IBs who don't care what happens to clients.

Please take a look at these articles too which others have pointed out before, but are now compiled into one place:

Here's one more avenue of complaint which a senior member of the FPA forum shared with me ... https://www.esma.europa.eu/investor-corner/file-complaint

 

[keysha]

I've been asked to start a new thread with the info below being shared right up front here instead of having it embedded as post #193 on page 20 of my original complaint thread at https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/threads/banc-de-binary-mega-scam.43677/page-20.

Can everyone also send emails to public@isa.gov.il - to complain about BDB to them as it is an Israeli registered company as well - although it won't provide services to Israelis - guess they know that they will be hard hit by the Israeli government if they try and scam their own Israeli people!
I informed the Israeli government in my email that I was writing to notify them of the mega scams and to complain about Banc de Binary (Banc de Binary Ltd / ET Binary Options Ltd / BO Systems Ltd / BDB Services Ltd?? / BDB Services (Belize) Ltd), a financial institution owned by one of their citizens, Oren Shabat Laurent aka Oren Shabat aka Oren Cohen, who is also a US citizen as well. I told the Israeli government that I understand that Banc de Binary is based in Cyprus and Israel, and is fully registered in Israel under registration number 514405281. I told them that I have been scammed and defrauded by Edward West and Banc de Binary out of USD$52,600, and I set out all the details of my complaint to the IFSC Belize and the Cyprus Financial Ombudsman.

I also provided the Israeli government with the link of the Banc de Binary building, that huge tower in Ramat Gan, Tel Aviv District, Israel, which was circulated in this forum - https://goo.gl/maps/fCJQYA9Ugvs (https://www.google.nl/maps/@32.0851...4!1sg8dj1vqRGT_e8Ear8N-vCA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)

And I attached an extract of an article on Oren Laurent's interview in 2011 with Binary Options Daily (from https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/commu...ary-bbinary-com-issue.17052/page-4#post-87822, post #31) where Oren Laurent in effect states that Israeli citizens are not allowed to trade on the Banc de Binary platform (so they can't be scammed, whereas it's ok to scam the rest of the world!). He also provided a US address at Trump Tower on Wall Street, New York, when there was no such registered security firm with that name in the US.

As my email was sent before the US$11M settlement with the SEC/CFTC in the US, I will be sending them a follow up email with news of the settlement, and I would encourage EVERYONE to also write in to public@isa.gov.il and also mention the recent settlement and provide them with a copy of that news article at https://leaprate.com/2016/02/banc-de-binary-reaches-11-million-settlement-with-us-authorities-wsj/

I asked that the Israeli government investigate the scams perpetrated by Banc de Binary and to do something to stop them from continuing to scam the public globally and tarnish the good name of Israel while they are at it, even though they are not scamming the Israeli public. I provided them with all the links starting with my post on being defrauded and scammed by Banc de Binary at https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/threads/banc-de-binary-mega-scam.43677/; as well as the following links on the Banc de Binary scams which have been posted in various forums at https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/search/648062/?q=banc+de+binary&o=relevance; http://www.scambook.com/company/reports/45549/Banc-De-Binary;
http://www.gpwa.org/forum/beware-banc-de-binary-215602.html;

1000-a.html; http://www.tradecomplaint.com/tradi...ary-com-broker_i13289#.Vs1b-zYaLIU&gsc.tab=0;

and several complaints against Banc de Binary at http://www.binaryoptions.net.au/binary-options-complaints/, including the following complaints -
http://www.binaryoptions.net.au/com...money-banc-de-binary-emtied-my-account-of-14-000e/; http://www.binaryoptions.net.au/complaint/no-risk-investment-has-loss-all-my-money/; and http://www.binaryoptions.net.au/complaint/beware-of-brokers-lies/; amongst others.

Please feel free to include all the links above and whatever other links you have as well when you complain to the Israeli government as well as all other regulatory authorities, and the Banc de Binary regulatory authorities (CySEC (http://www.cysec.gov.cy/en-GB/cysec/contact/), Financial Ombudsman of Cyprus (complaints@financialombudsman.gov.cy and fin.ombudsman@financialombudsman.gov.cy), and the International Financial Services Commission of Belize (director@ifsc.gov.bz; www.ifsc.gov.bz/) to make them aware of how widely Banc de Binary are scamming people globally!

Please also do not forget to write in to Standard Chartered Bank as Liverpool FC's main corporate sponsors, as well as the owner of Liverpool FC and point out to Liverpool FC about how Banc de Binary now have access to all the Liverpool FC supporters to scam as well with Liverpool FC's endorsement of them as a "partner" and notify Standard Chartered that they are now tainted by association with Banc de Binary as a Liverpool FC "partner" ... please see my post at https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/threads/banc-de-binary-mega-scam.43677/page-8, post #78.

The Fenway Sports Group in the US is the parent organization for Liverpool FC (www.fenwaysportsgroup.com; Email: info@fenwaysportsgroup.com).
The sponsorship arm is Fenway Sports Management (http://www.fenwaysportsmanagement.com; Email: info@fenwaysports.com)
Also, with the recent bad publicity in early February 2016 generated by the Liverpool FC fans for the ticket price increase (http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...talks-over-ticket-prices-protests-News-Gossip), can you imagine what sort of publicity that would generate when the fans are scammed by Banc de Binary as they are ripe pickings for Liverpool FC's "partner"!

For Standard Chartered, I think we can contact any of these people at https://www.sc.com/en/news-and-media/media-contacts/corporate-media.html. I'm sure that they will forward the complaint email to the appropriate department to look at it.. For those who were scammed with their Standard Chartered credit cards, please make special mention of that too - I certainly will, and so will one other person, I'm sure! I'll be sure to mention too that Banc de Binary after more than 2 weeks of silence started jumping up and down and asking me to stop the banks from making the counter-claim / chargeback when they were hit with this specific bank's counter-claim!

Please also don't forget to lodge and file complaints with:
(1) IC3 at https://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx
(2) econsumer.gov at https://www.econsumer.gov/en/Details#crnt; and
(3) INTERPOL at http://www.interpol.int/Forms/Contact_INTERPOL - this is just so INTERPOL also receives complaints from all of us who have been scammed by Banc de Binary first pending official reports lodged by our respective police departments globally.

So please follow up and make sure that police department in the country where you lodge your complaint also escalates your case to INTERPOL, as your official police report is what INTERPOL will look at officially, and what will work in all our favour is that INTERPOL already has official reports and files on Banc de Binary from other victim reports from this forum and elsewhere, I'm sure, eg "lost enough" who had filed a police report with the RCMP who advised them to INTERPOL and they did get all their money back from Banc de Binary after INTERPOL's investigation - see https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/threads/banc-de-binary-is-a-scam.26127/page-7#post-228129.

Hi AnneW: many thanks for all the information that you have given me.

sincerely,
keysha

See post #43 by Zbeni at https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/comm...ssion-banc-de-binary.45227/page-5#post-243809 where he states:

Please also read the article showing a glowing report on Binary Options trading. I tried to place negative comments based on my experience with Banc De Binary warning potential clients and every time I did so the moderator deleted my comments. I have also tried researching the names of persons mentioned in this article and it all seems fake. I can only conclude that this page is published and controlled by Banc De Binary.
globalfinance.news/?p=1487#comment-1429​

This globalfinance.news website is obviously a scam! Please see this http://www.timeslive.co.za/local/20...South-African-trader-linked-to-gold-supercars.

See also globalfinance.news/?p=1425 where they promote the same article, but for Asia - Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia but instead of BDB, it's for 24 Option!!!

Then see this link too - globalfinance.news/?p=1423 where the article is the same to promote 24 Option as well, but the "mystery owner" is based in Canada!!!

globalfinance.news/?p=1421 ... mystery owner based in London!

globalfinance.news/?p=1428 ... Norway, Finland, Denmark and Netherlands ...

The real owner of the "super cars" ... a Saudi prince - http://www.forbes.com/sites/guymart...s-gold-fleet-rolls-into-chelsea/#7704e13362b0

And the globalfinance.news articles all use the same pictures, probably lifted from one of the original news articles ... this is a deliberate act of entrapment in order to perpetrate a fraudulent scam on unsuspecting victims!

[AnneW]

I've just stumbled upon this website. Has anyone heard of them or used their services for retrieval of funds? I've just emailed them to provide additional BDB bank account details which they asked me to make a wire transfer to which I thankfully refused to do. I've also at the same time asked how much they charge for their assistance / services to recover our funds.

globalinvestoralerts.org/about.shtml

globalinvestoralerts.org/index.shtml

And BDB details at ... globalinvestoralerts.org/banc_de_binary_ltd_bdb_services_ltd.shtml

 

[Pharaoh]

I'd want to know a lot more about GlobalInvestorAlerts. They mention offering assistance, but there are virtually no details. It might be legit, or it might collect big fees and direct clients into bad investments.

I emailed them and offered one more bank account which Edward West of BDB had provided to me twice in his attempts to make me to wire transfers of USD$50k to them, crazy bastards that they are.

At the same time, I asked GlobalInvestorAlerts how much they wanted to charge for their assistance. In their very prompt response, no mention was made of their advertised assistance and the fees I asked them about, but they instead asked me to send them all the evidence I had, which I'm obviously NOT going to do as I don't know them from Adam nor do I know what they intend to do with the information! So I'm not going to respond to their email. This is their response to me:

Thank you for contacting GIA.

This is a boiler room.

Unfortunately, you have been scammed.

Good decision to not pay anything anymore to these people.

We would very much appreciate it if you can send us the emails and
documents you received from Banc De Binary Ltd / BDB Services Ltd?

Have you been contacted by other companies before, during or after CW
Associates? If so, can you send us their emails and documents as well.


Met vriendelijk groet,

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Yours sincerely,

Jim Fletcher
Global Investor Alerts
​

So my query is who on earth is CW Associates????? That was the first reference I've heard of them when I never mentioned contacting them at all!!! And why would Jim Fletcher be emailing from admin@globalinvestoralerts.org instead of from his personal email @globalinvestoralerts.org .....

It smells highly fishy to me .......
