Hello everyone,
I wanted to share my recent experience with Vantage, which raises serious concerns about their withdrawal processes and client treatment. This thread is a cautionary tale for anyone considering using their services.
1. Initial Withdrawal Rejection: My ordeal began when I tried to withdraw €29,000 from my account (708940). Vantage rejected my request, citing "Abnormal Trading Activities." This was surprising as my trading was conservative, with a profit of only €115.17, and nothing that could remotely be labeled as 'abnormal.'
2. Changing Demands and Documentation Requests: After the initial rejection, Vantage shifted their focus, demanding a range of personal documents for anti-money laundering checks. I complied with every request, providing a selfie with my ID, followed by detailed bank statements. Each time I submitted the requested documents, they asked for more, delaying the process further.
3. Excessive and Intrusive Requests: The demands became increasingly intrusive, including videos of me holding various documents and bank statements. These requests seemed disproportionate and a tactic to delay my withdrawal.
4. Lack of Response and Transparency: Throughout this process, communication from Vantage was minimal. My emails and formal complaints have been largely ignored, leaving me in a state of limbo regarding my funds.
5. Legal Intervention: Given the lack of progress, I will soon have to engage a lawyer to address this issue formally. It appears that Vantage is using stalling tactics, possibly breaching their contractual obligations.
Warning to Prospective Clients: This experience has been deeply unsettling and has significantly eroded my trust in Vantage. I advise anyone considering using their services to be wary of these practices. The withdrawal process, a fundamental aspect of any trading platform, should be straightforward and transparent, not a labyrinth of unending documentation requests and communication blackouts.
I am sharing this to raise awareness and seek advice from the community. Has anyone else faced similar issues with Vantage? How was it resolved?
Looking forward to your insights and support.
