• 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 Valley Tech Spec Limited

I am having an issue with a company
Thank you very much for the information.

But this scam group is in China, and this scam group is very strong.
Hong Kong police should be very difficult to investigate and handle those cases, right?

I believe they will do something about it if more overseas people are complaining about the scams. Also, China is really good at cracking up all these crooks. At one point they were operating in Cambodia and the Chinese officials were able to catch them there. They are turning overseas because is more difficult for China to do anything with them, hopefully there's something to make them more difficult to further their operations.
 
How to get money back?

You really have to be calm, 80,000E is a lot of money but these people won't give it back to you if you fell for a romance scam because if the company is fake and they are not in the business of real trading but just scamming, then there's no way for you to get it back.

You can hire anyone you want but they will also just going to take your money and can't do anything about it.If it makes you feel better and still have money, sue MT5 or MT4 and pressure your local police and force them to catch these people.

Good luck brother!
 
One of the option is contact your bank and ask them to recall the payment because vts is fraudulent company, hopefully if the bank gets a lot of these request they will be obliged to pay back.
 
As its a scam and as long as the money is in your trading account bank have the right to recall it. Obviously its a long shot but if many request are made vts's bank will have to take some responsibility
 
Mt5 should take full responsibility that was the only reason i invested as it was through their platform, i really cant see how they can allow such scam. Has anyone contacted mt5 and have their contact details

Hmm I dont know how broker's connection to stock exchange completely works, but my understanding is Metaquotes is software company, so they sell their software MT5 to anyone who pays the same way Microsoft is selling Windows.

Watching this letter then, I would contact Metaquotes (Metatrader 5 is platform not company so it cannot have legal department I guess) and ask their opinion, maybe they would be interested. (Still it looks a little strange, I mean you can write Windows 10 LegalDepartment the same way)

Still, please correct me if my understanding is not correct, or something needs to be added.
