    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.

Problem Please help! Am I being Scammed? (gomltd.com)

I am having an issue with a company
I know these people are scammers and also there are more scammers in here who try to slide into your DM and want to help you get back the money but the truth is that there's nothing you can do. I am amazed they hanged around for 4 to 5 months to bait you. It only took them 2 months to get $10K from me. Thinking about it everything sounds shady. Seriously there's no way to take those money out from MT4, the broker is fake and the company is also fake. I blamed myself for not doing long research about everything and this community pops up way too late for me. I started to investigate more after they asked me to put in $40k more. These people are unbelievable.

I hope people can find all these scamming posts about Forex and commodity spots tradings. They work really well and know how to play with your emotions. Once you start telling them about scams and all that stuffs they'll say that don't trust the internet and that competitors try to put other company's down. The truth is if a company is not regulated by the government agency that's a HUGE RED FLAG! Just think of paying a very high price for someone to talk to you. It makes you feel better


Mine is 8 months and still around , but no pressure for desposit . Beforehand was asking , but now does not even talk about the market or trading. Say there is no good market lately and been like that for 2-3 months now . Have no idea what’s going on . I only invested 2k and it’s been not sitting there with no market movement for 2 months now. I talk to her everyday , nearly every hour . Have no idea what’s going on

hi folks,
It is sad to see so many people scammed by these people, I too have lost, but still in the process of trying to recover, carefully. Will keep you updated if anything progresses, but I am not confident.
Clearly, these people are extremely well organised, well trained, and well prepared for anything that comes along. I am usually quite diligent with anything like this, but they are too clever.
I don't feel so bad now that there are so many others, but still feel for everyone that has been scammed. This needs to stop. If there is anything that can be done we should try.
Valleytechspeclimited are the ones that got me. I'm not very experienced in trading so clearly an easy target.
Starting in April, met a girl online from HK, quickly lead to conversations about investing. Even had phone calls with this one. Rejected the offer to contact her Uncles assistant in the UK where she works in an investment firm, but a few weeks later she convinced me, to my demise. There was pressure to deposit 20k initially to be involved in the "trading plan". I offered just 3k USD initially. That grew quite quickly with their instruction, then lost the lot with my own mistakes, which could have been planned by them. Deposited another 3k, which then grew again. Eventually deposited 20k in total, before some cracks started. The UK based assistance said she was in NZ instead of UK, but her phone number in whatsapp is in UK, +44 extension. Then found a duplicate photo of the original HK girl online with a different name. Then I checked and found this site a few days ago. The pain internally started and hasn't stopped. I am not sure if they control the prices and use algorithms to pump or dump prices drastically to drain the accounts of anyone doing their own trading, but it certainly seems like it. BTCUSD price in one minute went from 9.2k to less than 5k and then back again. That is just one example of many.
So, will be trying to recover what I can, as I haven't given them any alarm bells yet. I have withdrawn 100USD to test the withdrawal process, and they were reluctant but it worked. However trying to do a larger number will be alarm bells for them. I will see how I go, but don't expect it to work. Will post any updates.

I am intending to go to the police too, but once that starts (if they do anything) there will be no chance of getting money back because I suspect they will simply pack up shop and use a new URL. Will see how this goes.

If there is anything that has worked for anyone else in recovering their losses please post.
Thanks, and good luck!!
 
I was approached randomly on Sunday Afternoon on whatsapp ...no +852 5486 0148.. Li Xian, very friendly and wanted to be friends, from China , she made sure she sent me 2 pics of an attractive asian girl..which I told her were fake and blocked her...but I really wanted to know what the 'scam' was and started chatting again on monday, she was very demanding and rude at times and kind and friendly at others... she was adamant she didn't want anything other than friendship and perhaps a 'guide' when she visited Australia, by Wednesday night i was asked to do a favour of logging into MT4 urgently for her while she was busy in a meeting, which I had to install on my phone, which I refused to do and she wasnt happy that i was only prepared to do it on a PC. On Thursday was sending me voice messages instead of chat in chinese which was easy to translate... I did co-operate and she has blocked me on Whatsapp... feel free to get in touch with her if you want to mess with this scam...

Report it. Don't worry about shutting them down that quick because all these institutions will not shut them down right away but it will open up an investigation if more people report it. I suggest you to report to your local police and Hong Kong police too. They are really good at doing that.

Think about it, the chance of getting money back is very minimal. So, in the meantime just report it so other people won't fall for it. They just move on and have to start over. Make their lives harder.
 
I know NOTHING about trading and I need some people who DO know about it to PLEASE help me see if I am or not, or maybe being scammed…please read on...


Sorry for the wall of text!


About a month ago I matched with a girl on Tinder.

After a few days we started chatting, moved to using WeChat, and it turns out that she lives in Hong Kong and works in financial management audit, for a company there.


After about a week, whilst chatting she sends me a screenshot of a financial exchange graph (which I now know was from MetaTrader4) and she asks me: "Can you read this?"

Screenshot 1:




I noticed that it had BTCUSD in there and I said something about Bitcoin which I had got 0.3 of back in 2011 lol, but I have virtually no more experience with that stuff. so we chatted about that for a bit.


Over the next week, we chat like normal and the subject comes up every now and again, quite gently about how much she's making (she sent me 2 screenshots of deals she made on the days we were chatting, with dates, both with over $20,000 profit) and how I could make money too, quite easily.

Screenshot 2:



Screenshot 3:




So, after a week of this type of talk (approximately 2 weeks after we first started chatting)

I ask her what website she uses to trade and tells me to get MetaTrader4 on my phone, so I do, and she says she'll help me learn how to trade.


To get a demo account up and running she lets me use the login details for her old demo account that her broker gave her.

***Please note the Image where she shows me how to open a new account seems to show that she herself is using a demo account (but I'm not sure, do you know?) - despite showing screenshots of her amazing profits over the previous week. But again, I'm not sure.***

Screenshot 4:




The demo account was loaded with $50,000USD to play with


Later that night she gives me a brief tutorial and after a few laughs I'm ready to try trading. We go through the deal flow and I lose $168 haha.


So in the days following this development, she contacts me almost every weekday with word from her analyst that there is a good deal opportunity coming usually in the next hour or so.


She'd send me messages like "Forecast upside target 5305, buy"

So after a slip up or two, roughly in my FIRST WEEK I made profits like $311, $6,273 $21,720, $12,230 etc etc


Even while this is all happening we chat regularly about many things and seem to get on really well.


She suggests that I open a real account but even though I am making these pretend profits I still don't really know what I am doing in terms of Stop Loss, Take Profit, Units, How to read the Graphs etc etc, so most of my deals feel like good luck so I mention this to her that I need to learn more….


So then she tells me she's gonna ring the MT4 manager at her broker and that she'll put me in contact with her. Which she does via WeChat.


During deals over 3-4 days this Mt4 manger broker person tutors me very briefly about some of the things I'm not sure about and I make a couple great deals and good profits around the $10,000 - $20,000 range.

This screen shot is my full deal history:

Screenshot 6:




By now my feeling of "this is too good to be true" is ringing hard.

The MT4 manger asks if I'm still keen to open a real account and I go along with it and say yes so she sends me an application to fill in.

I say "I'll get back to you in a few days"



At that point I google their website. it looks kinda dodgy but says it is regulated by the NFA but I don't know what that means and the website is only about 6 months old.


By this time I'm even more suspicious, and worried that I 'll sign up and invest only to have my luck suddenly (or slowly) change and lose all my money and the original girl I met will unexplainably disappear.


So now, I am at a place where I don't know how to find out if this is real or these people are just trying to fleece me and others of my hard earned money.


I don't really know what questions I can ask you or them.


It seems to good to be true, but maybe its just a good opportunity uniquely timed with bitcoins recent upturn (we started chatting just before it took off again.)


Can a broker manipulate data on a demo account to make me think this is a sure thing? i.e. set the rise and fall, give me a forecast then i close when they say and it looks real?


What can I do to determine if this is a scam or a real opportunity?


What questions should I ask?


Should I email the broker and ask them something?


What would you do?


Remember, I know nothing of trading.


Thanks in advance for reading this far and any advice or experience you can offer!

sex sells?!!!!
 
Hi Everyone,

I am facing the same exact issue, but the situation is that...it was too late... I had already wired a lot of money into the system... when I was first introduced to Meta4 application. It was by a girl who claim she is from HK.
The company is VSH, vansihofx.com/zh-hk
I had initially put in $10k, but with mis-management or maybe from their end's alternation. I came back with a negative. I was about the give up, but she said she will help me by putting some money into my account as well. So as time went on, I started to put more and more until I realize something does not seem right. I tried to do wire recall but it was way too late....now I am stuck at terribly possibly in debt...

One thing I find that is very different than all of your stories is that, this girl had send me pictures of the transfer to my broker account. Since I have to be the one who send it to the broker. she has funded some money to help me(most likely using my own money). Would I be able to use that bank transfer note against her? (you can't really lie on that right, since it has official stamps by the bank, or can they.....)It also has her full name in chinese and english with phone number.
I had already contacted the FBI, and they are looking into it, but I am not sure what I can do next. I am in serious situation where I have deposited $140k....Are there any Lawyers that is reputable that I can even talk to to at least get some money back?

Thanks for all your helps, I really hope someone can help me here...
Thanks

When did you deposit the money and how long after you did a wire recall that it was too late?
