    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 Instructions for IronFx clients who are having trouble withdrawing their funds

I am having an issue with a company
Dear nichu

Thank you for providing your details.

We have looked into your query with the appropriate department and have noted that your request cannot be completed as you have placed your request incorrectly. We have also noted that you have placed a request for an amount which exceeds your balance available to withdraw.

Thank you

Dear IronFX Officer,

I followed instructions on your website when placing my request - so maybe your instruction is incorrect.
And your remark about amount "exceeding my balance" is also interesting as I requested exactly full amount from my balance - nothing more, nothing less..

Please don't put blame on me - because I'm waiting 2 months for something that belongs to me and I havent got any answers from your side so far...

anyway... I'm waiting for your email and lets see how long it takes

Dear Nicolae20055221,

Thank you for providing your details.
We note that your query was attended by the Company and a response was sent to you on 19 January 2016.

Regards,

To the above answer, which was posted several times on this thread, you have to know that IronFx sent to thousand of complainants a response between the 16th and the 19th January 2016

They did it because the CySEC, together with the fine of € 335.000 , had mandated IronFx to resolve all pending complaints.

At the time, IronFx had 1800 pending complaints.

So the company decided to send all 1800 complainants the same identical letter.

The letter was sent as a “mass email” to every client who had complained to the CySEC. The letter was identical for every client.

With this letter, every complainant was accused of “abusive trading activities”.

The allegations were unsubstantiated and not supported by evidence. No details about date or reference of transactions were given.

The fact that the letter was identical for every complainant is a clear sign that these allegations were just excuses

In its Annual Report 2015, the General Auditor states

“The most serious breach, according to the officers, was related to the methodology which the company employed to classify customers as bonus abusers, which was based on arbitrary suspicions and assumptions”

This sort of “final response” does not fulfill the requirements of Complaint Handling pursuant to EU law.

The European Securities and Markets Authority has specified that client’s withdrawal requests must be processed immediately and information about delay must be clear and not misleading

So if you received such a “final response”, keep complaining.

File a formal complaint through the Complaint Portal (under "file a complaint") : https://www.ironfx.com/en/making-a-complaint.

After receiving the reference number, complain to the Financial Ombudsman of Cyprus

Also complain to the CySEC and the ESMA: BUL@esma.europa.eu

How much longer do I have to wait?!i have been waiting for one year and 3 months to get my money back!
 
Withholding clients' money for year is a crime and every damaged client should file criminal complaint.


Search the Public Prosecutor of your country/city and lodge a criminal complaint for Fraud against

1) Cypriot directors of IronFx

2) the Account Managers who moved you to deposit money.

Lodge your criminal complaint in writing, via fax or certified mail.


Report to Europol and ask them to request the competent authorities of the Member States concerned to initiate, conduct or coordinate a criminal investigation against IronFx (pursuant to Art. 6 of the Europol Regulation)


Europol will usually request you to contact national authorities https://www.europol.europa.eu/report-a-crime


Please request a coordinate action. You can contact Europol per telephone, postal address or Whatsapp.
