    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

Problem GreyMountain Management's Nest of Binary Scam Brokers

I am having an issue with a company
I have been with Starling Capital for a while, and invested a sum total of $100,000. There are so many issues with this firm, I could write a book on it. I am literally infuriated with myself for being suckered into this mess,however, luckily, being a US Citizen, even though they think they are getting away with this, it actually is far worse for them than one might expect. I met with the SEC the other day and my personal lawyer who was a Sr. Investigator for the SEC for 20+ years. What you may not know, is that because the trades/positions are actually placed FROM THE USA, they are bound by US laws, whether they like it or not, and can be arrested and brought back to the USA for both civil and criminal court cases. Actually, the amount that was stolen from me is in the millions and potentially tens of millions, and not just by Starling, by just about every single binary options firm I have been with, even ones that state they are regulated like Finpari and Binary Mate. I will say that this software algorithm that is runs to force losing trades is a tricky one to bust, but with my background in Physics and DSP Software Engineering, it was not very difficult at all to determine, record, and take screenshots providing plenty of evidence. In a nutshell, what these firms are doing, and pay very VERY close attention to this, is they will out of nowhere create heavily shifted entry rates for your positions. In other words, say you have are making a "put" (going down) on an asset and the entry rate for that position when you hit the put button is 1.21341. It will actually display 1.21341 for a couple of seconds, then the malicious algo kicks in with the blink of an eye the entry rate changes to 1.01341 a change of one digit, or maybe 1.20341, whatever it is it its the position so low, it is impossible to win, and same for a call just higher than what the entry rate should have been. I lost millions of dollars in trade volume that would have won, but those positions lost as a result of this algorithm, The second way these firms will force losing positions is through an algorithm that actually manipulates the market, so if you have a position, the market will seem like its doing its usual thing, than right toward the end, it will snap up and kill your position, and immediately snap back down...You can tell when this algorithm is running as it will typically hug your position lien and tick up and down off the line, sometimes it will act like its drifting away, then bounce off of your position line, other times it will stay just above it or just below it and flatline until the position closes, then it all of a sudden drops or goes up. I literally have hundreds of recordings, per broker, each of which had some algorithm to force my positions to lose. So, next time you take any position, make sure you watch it for at least 10 to 30 seconds to make sure it did not change to an entry rate that is sure to cause you to lose, than in addition to watching the market, and then comparing that data to Bloomberg or investing.com. I am going to upload a couple of videos here and if you ever experience anything like this, dont even tell your broker, just disappear on them for a bit, and line up a legal team to crush these bastards into dust. I am really in shock as I actually became friendly with my account manager, and really liked Mariana with Compliance. I truly believe neither Adam Louis or Mariana Davis had anything to do with this, although Adam did disappear and would not return my calls, and the only thing he did was offer for me to deposit more money as if I was born yesterday. Mariana on the other hand is a real genuine person and to be frank if not for her I would of never put money into Starling as she always emails you back and she is in charge of Compliance at Starling. The executive team at Starling and the IT team are where the problems happen. The executive team apparently thinks ripping people off for millions of dollars, just because they are in the Marshall Islands, makes them invisible to the law. They will soon learn their lesson that is not the case. All these idiots had to do was be honorable, reimburse me for the positions which forced me to lose millions of dollars, and I was asking for a fraction of that amount only $400K, and send me my guaranteed 85% per month ($85K per month) which i was supposed to receive for December and January and have not received one single dime, even when the money was in my account, and I told them I needed that money before Christmas. Starling Capital made me cancel my holiday trip with my children because they failed to send me the money they promised to send me two weeks before hand. All I can say is if you invest money in Starling, be prepared to lose everything, and then have them ignore you, with the exception of Mariana, who is about the only person who works their with any sense of decency, morals and ethics. I urge anyone who has been screwed by any of these firms to 1) hire a good lawyer and/or two go to www.winchargeback.com and they will help recover your deposits, but whatever you won in terms of profits, that will require a good lawyer. So, I have both...I am also attaching a letter I wrote to Starling and sent to Mariana and Adam to forward to their upper management. Again, I hold no hard feelings toward Mariana or Adam, and it is unfortunate, after giving them well over a month to fix the issue, their upper management has chosen to completely ignore me, and my very generous proposals to avoid litigation. Now, I have zero mercy for the firm and will do everything in my power to crush them into dust - last time they will ever screw anyone over and they messed with the wrong dude...not kidding! So, please email to me rptllc@yahoo.com if you would like to form a class action lawsuit, which will be separate from my personal lawsuit(s) and business lawsuit against them as them not sending my money cause me to lose out on a $2M contract, and I clearly stated this to them on several occasions, and they ignored me, with the exception of Mariana. The rest of the group is a bunch of stupid idiots who have gotten away with this bull crap for far too long. I will also be submitting a press release on the world wire, putting an article in the Wall Street Journal and I have a friend that is a newscaster for NBC and will try and get this on nationwide news and list every firm that screwed me over, and maybe that will snap them in their asses and put their fake balls in a vice. The bottom line - anyone who would do something like this to innocent people are gutless, no balls, pieces of S&*T...and I will not stop until these BO Scam firms are all suffering and rotting behind bars, or better stated these BS Scam firms! PLEASE NOTE BEFORE YOU MOVE FORWARD WITH ANY FIRM WHETHER FOREX OF BO - READ THIS - http://blog.advancedmarketsfx.com/4-ways-to-verify-that-you-are-working-with-a-pop AND make sure you ask them many questions and DO NOT MAKE A DEPOSIT IF THEY SOUND LIKE A STUPID USED CAR SALESMAN TRYING TO GET YOU TO DEPOSIT MORE MONEY! Thus far, the only broker who I saw out there that was given a bad name, who actually has (or had) some form of decency and integrity was a firm called Allgotrade. My broker, Josh Volk, is currently in the hospital, and since that time the website and platform have been taken down. Hopefully they re-launch with a new platform, as I suspect any of the Leverate platforms will cause you many problems, and I believe this is the reason they took theirs down and are creating a new platform. When it is up and running I will post here again and let you know where to go and who to speak with at Allgotrade. Some of these firms who have negative reports are actually ok firms, and the only one I have found to be that way is Allgotrade, lets hope they stay that way!

They have the audacity to go from a three digit to a FIVE digit price?? This disgusts me and does not surprise me with GMM.

BO Industry manipulating prices are long time standard, as well practiced by the very same FX and CFD Brokers, quite often traders get the feeling some monkey is sitting on the other line side, trading against them !

Eventually some beating the system, but still end up been robbed of their Profits and Deposits.

Manipulation of market prices, involves SERIOUS CRIME, just like robbing client accounts, this
is worldwide legal standard..........or maybe NOT YET o_O

I agree with you 100%. The costs to file a lawsuit in Israel is cost prohibitive, that's one of the best reasons to set up shop there. I was very lucky to get my capital back, but my $2.8 million in profits were canceled. At 2.5% to get a case heard in Israel would cost me a minimum of $70k and that is without lawyer fees. The ISA should waive these fees for people who have been scammed by these lowest of the low POS. I am still mad as hell and it has almost been a year fighting these pr%cks.
 
This is bad, very bad. The FPA keeps getting GMM Scam companies, they just churn them out like butter. What vile and evil "people" are who perpetrate this stuff. To the Peretz boys think that they will get away with this and their Bank TB1 being found out? GMM isn't their real name either, their real name is on the Porter thread.
 
I talked with the CFTC about 10 days ago. I cannot say more than that. There is something in between the lines...

I can take a less than wild guess. One of the recent Times of Israel articles shows the FBI, CFTC, and SEC are expanding from looking only at US Citizens/Residents who are defrauded by binary companies to anyone around the world who is defrauded. GMM by any name does forex and binary fraud. At this point, the regulators are scrambling to grab as much information as possible to try to crush these companies. There's a time limit, because many of the worst ones are already fleeing Israel for Eastern Europe, which will make enforcement of penalties and finding/arresting those in charge more difficult.
 
They are running scared like rats on a sinking ship!! The CFTC and FBI have the information about the owners and the broker in Mexico. We never had any info on Skyrunway or the broker in Mexico. These people will be caught, I don't think that the FBI is going to give up, even if it takes years. (Some have fled to Hong Kong and like you stated, Eastern Europe. Those countries will be next on the list...)
 
Let's try to nail all the binary rats to the wall before they get too far. The faster they get caught, the fewer new victims will be scammed and the better the chance current victims can get some of their money back. Everyone needs to send ALL their evidence to:

www.isa.gov.il/sites/ISAEng/CONTACT/Pages/default.aspx

www.ic3.gov

www.cftc.gov

www.sec.gov

www.econsumer.gov

If the problem is with a forex broker which is connected to one or more binary brokers (many examples in the Grey Mountain swamp, and UFX/Ubinary is another example). report the forex broker to all those agencies and mention the connections to binary websites.
