• Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.

    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.

    More info coming soon.

Problem VIP-Cititrader Scam - Spotoptions too?

I am having an issue with a company
VIP Cititrader is a conglomerate of Charlatans whose sole purpose is devoted to divesting unfortunate and inexperienced investors of their hard earned cash. Under the thin veil of seeming credibility, lies hard core deception, misleading information, and totally fabricated statistics. Dave Johnson and Jason Scharf wield a convincing impression of global knowledge, and seasoned trading capacity. Their recruitment of the European Pret-Nom Philip Baron lends a false quasi sophisticated and distinctive air of competence to an otherwise deliberate incompetence. Philip Baron never replies to his emails, he just talks to you on the telephone in the early snaring stages with his convincingly knowledgeable European accent. VIP Cititrader have no interest in their clients, or their clients welfare, and their seemingly avuncular style is riddled with hard core manipulation. Their expertise in deception is to be clearly admired. I can imagine their justifications are simply that they are capitalising on human greed and those that fall prey to their clever ploys are themselves responsible for what they let themselves in for. "Caveat Emptor" or let the buyer beware is an axiom that clearly applies, and these rogues have crossed every legal "t" and dotted every legal "I" imaginable. You will be unable to crawl out from under their clamp on your funds, and from their point of view, whilst they are laughing all the way to the bank with your money, they will tell you "they never promised you a rose garden". This is a difficult one to topple and all I can say, is that in my years of business dealings wherein I have considered myself sophisticated enough to sense a "scam" I did not see this one coming. But then part of it is, at certain stages of ones life, we just throw a bit of our caution to the wind and want to believe that someone else has got the answer for you - for a change. Pity us, tired souls, looking for an easier solution as we are perhaps getting older. Or seeing the funds we have managed to earn and grafted for over the years and having little, if any opportunity to put the capital to good work. VIP City Trader genuinely provides the fantasy ritual to fill that dream and they are so highly skilled at targeting the oh so vulnerable souls that stumble in their midst. All I can say is a warning shot - take a wide berth and avoid at all costs the contact with this hypnotic and totally disappointing organisation.

I can simply say this, you have given words to my feelings and experiences with Citirader/Citrades!!!
 
First, I need you to drop down the "Cititrader associate" under my account. I didnt come here to try to protect Cititrader.

You seem to be having an identity crisis. First, you claimed to be a CitiTrader employee who wasn't paid. Once you got paid, you claimed to not be an employee, but instead that you are some sort of IB. Since then, you've been vigorously defending CitiTrader while pushing the envelope of polite discourse attacking anyone who reports an issue with Citi Trader. Now you claim that you aren't an associate of the company.
 
Cititrader / Citrades Disasterous trading records analysis (Traded by Citrader)

Identity crisis... lol

Ctitirader will be in scam crisis if they will continue behave like that

Attached is the VIP Cititrader / Citrades trading performance. This is the first report received, further details to follow shortly.
1. VIP-Cititrader Dave - This document shows the trading data plotted and shows the deliberate attempts to loose faster. Top half shows the actual vs promised balance. Second half shows the trade value in terms of the % of account balance. I have tried to provide as much details as possible without cluttering too much.
2. vip-cititrader dave volume - Shows the actual traded volume vs promised/required value. As per this analysis, it will take in access of 4 years to achieve the target number vs promised 3 months.

More details will follow shortly.

where's the "unofficial representative"?
Like this "unofficial representative"!

Well coming up next something even worse and shows their intentions not to pay. At that point I will ramp up my efforts. I don't think being polite is the way to deal with these guys.
I kept polite with their associate as well, they used to attack their non prospective clients, who proudly showed his so called objectionable withdrawal proof (post#9), uses the phrase "I don't care" a lot:
1. Above and beyond the sustainable financial system: Gets credit back on his card more than the deposited amount from the broker but he doesn't care.
2. Deposits whole number $1000, withdraws whole numbers $2000 in multiple transactions and leaves him an exact balance of $1000 (rounding off to 100's, no decimal or a number less than $100, i.e. why not a balance of 1145 left, etc.), refer post #9. This is a miracle that traders don't get to see, but he doesn't care.

Just wait for a shot while.
