Problem Hercules-Trade -Acc disabled and refuse withdrawal of funds

[maheryjm]

It’s a long story and I’m sure I’m an idiot but I began trading with what was then Hercules-Trade.com.
(Now Hercules-Trade.co). A $250 usd start eventually ended up being a $50000 usd sum so I could become a VIP client. All was going well with trading until I wanted to withdraw funds. To date I have nearly $350000 usd invested with them and a trading account that has made $300000 usd. They refuse to allow any withdrawals and have now disabled my account so I can’t trade while they claim they are going to charge me $20000 usd every fortnight for not clearing their alleged AML protocols. Which I have in fact already done but only to find out from the FCA in the UK that they aren’t even registered with them.
I desperately need help as we need our money back, it’s our life savings.

Can we have a website address, please?

It was initially Hercules-Trade.com and then it got changed to Hercules-Trade.co

Did you try the number's mentioned on their website?

Or any official reply from their end on your email?

Oh they are in contact with me daily. They want me to deposit another $180000 usd to clear their claim of an AML issue. The FCA said they aren’t even registered. I’ve asked many times to speak to anyone other than the 3 people I’ve been dealing with but they can’t produce anyone else. They claim everyone else is to busy.

Are you residing the same country as they operate?

 

[maheryjm]

No. I’m in Australia and they claim they are in the UK.

First of all, do not deposit a single penny in the name of withdrawing your funds. You can hire a lawyer from the UK to fight for you or visit their office physically (I am 90% sure you will not find the office there).

I definitely won’t be giving them another cent. They sent me a link to a Bitcoin account that has over $300000usd in it but they won’t give me access to it or send me the funds (unless of course I give them more). Can you recommend any UK lawyers ? And yes I suspect there is no office where they say one is.

Sorry, I do not have an idea about the lawyer but you can google it by the keywords "Best Financial lawyer in UK" or "Best cyber crime lawyer in UK". best of luck and keep us updated.
