    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 100% scam platform Geneva Option

I am having an issue with a company
This should come as no surprise, but the FPA Traders Court has found Geneva Option guilty. This will be sent to the FPA mailing list of over 50,000 traders worldwide. I take comfort in knowing that so many more people will be made aware of these deceptive scammers.

This is only the beginning of my action against Geneva Option. I am in discussion with several law firms, who specialise in international fraud, about joint legal action (with another victim of Geneva Option). Failing this, even if I fail to get my money back in the end, I will make sure Geneva Option will be blacklisted and labelled as a scam on as many forums and review websites as I can possibly reach. I will also look into having my case translated in order to reach the maximum number of non-English speakers.

I am consolidating a list of contacts and victims for submission to ACORN and other regulatory bodies. I encourage any other victims of Geneva Option to come forward. Send me a private message and I will provide my email address. Spread the word to any victims you know, and post on any forums you may be on.
 
If you find any more victims, try to get them to leave reviews, start Scam Alerts threads, and file FPA Traders Court cases. 3 guilties generally equals a Scam Label.
 
Yes, I certainly will do. Some of them have said they will be posting about their experiences here soon.

Another victim and I are taking legal action against Geneva Option. We have been advised that with these unregulated companies, an option is to go after the people who provide them their technical services (i.e. their big flashy websites).

I am in correspondence with a number of law firms, two of which are:
  1. Giambrone
    http://www.giambronelaw.com/
    I was referred here by Winchargeback
  2. Phoenix Advisors Group
    http://phoenixadvisorsgroup.com/
    I was contacted by them after they saw this thread. I have also read a bit about them in an FPA thread:
    https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community/threads/phoenix-advisors-limited.40763/
Has anyone dealt with these law firms before? If so, what did you think of their services, and how successful were they?

Also, has anyone had any luck with lawyers in recovering lost funds made by wire transfer to scam brokerages (like Geneva Option)?
 
But Winchargeback said they couldn't help me with wire transfers, and referred me on to Giambrone. I understand wire transfers are difficult, but I am willing to pay the money if there is a good chance of a successful case.
 
Bumping. If anyone can provide insight and/or experience on dealing with these law firms and getting back wire transfers, I would greatly appreciate it.
 
taoem, do you have any further information regarding your case with Geneva Option? I have not seen any further posts from other traders yet. I am a trader with them that is why I am keeping an eye on your case. Interested in further developments

Hello TinRSA,

I took some time away from binary options to pursue more worthwhile things for a while. It's clear that Geneva Option plans to keep my money. So I intend to make life as difficult as possible for them.

No further news to report so far, except that I have filed my case with the FBI (who have taken a strong interest in binary option victims) and ecommerce.gov

I have also filed a complaint with Israel's ISA, and have heard back from them. I will be going through their email later today.

My former broker is suggesting I send them the remaining 6k to use as "live bait" to get them to allow me to withdraw my money. Apparently, I'm now on a lovely fishing trip, instead of dealing with a bunch of parasitic scum.

I strongly suggest you try to get your money back, and wish you the best of luck.

If you find you are not able to get it back, please post about your experiences here as I have done. The sooner we get this evil scum website labelled as a scam, the better.

Hi all,

It gives me great pleasure to see my topic (which makes clear exactly the kind of disgusting criminals that Geneva Option is made up of) is 2nd on the Google Search for "Geneva Option).

Anyone who does a simple Google Search for Geneva Option will immediately know to stay away from these evil parasites.

On top of this, similar topics are popping up. The one I highlighted, the person actually took my original post and put it on bitcointalk. Not sure why exactly, but hey, at least they're making the people there aware.

And I'm getting more and more people contacting me about similar experiences they have had with Geneva Option. They're wanting to join a joint lawsuit against Geneva Option to recover our money that they stole, so we'll see where that goes. I'll keep you all updated.

I'm also telling them to post about their experiences here. It will be great to see more and more topics exposing Geneva Option as a scam and criminal organisation on the 1st page of Google.

I encourage you to come forward if you are also a victim of Geneva Option. PM me and I will send you my email address, and we can go from there.

I am Bhaskar Dutta and was invited by Danny White a Trader to invest. He started making good money with the Eu 8000/- Invested and then when the withdrawal amount sanctioned to be nearly Eu 22000/- and I wanted to withdraw they refused and asked to contact the account manger. The Account manager Danny must have left as his phone calls were not coming and I was never given his number. Then another person Bloomberg contacted me and asked for more money which I just refused and asked to return my withdrawal amount and again asked for the Withdrawal amount of Eu 21500/- which is pending for now two weeks. I am like others not hopeful and would like to join others to claim our legitimate amounts. email: bdutta48@yahoo.com
