2013 Forex Broker Scam of the Year Nominees
(in chronological order)​


These are the 4 forex brokers that got FPA Scam Confirmations in 2013. The nominations for 2013 are closed. Please confine nominations for 2014 to threads in the Scam Alerts Folder. Two brokers have already qualified for the 2014 awards.

No non-broker forex companies received scam findings from the FPA in 2013, so there will not be a Non-Broker Forex Scam of the Year Award poll for 2013.


The nominees for the Forex Broker Scam of the Year Award in 2013 are...

HFX.com

HFX already had the FPA's attention. There had been incidents of employees leaving fake posts in the forums and reviews pretending to be clients. In Traders Court cases, HFX representatives would not answer direct questions. In at least one instance, misleading information was provided.

The company also traded on behalf of clients. Promises of large profits were followed by large losses.

Forexoma.com

Forexoma was a well rated, but unregulated brokerage. Then one day they stopped processing withdrawals and stopped responding to clients. Then the website went down.

LiteForex.com

One case was over accusations of bonus abuse. The client gave permission for LF to publish their proof. No evidence to support the confiscation of profits was provided.

The other two cases involved LiteForex rule 6.8, which allows the company to confiscate profits in excess of a percentage of the account balance. The FPA considers the rule itself to be a license to indiscriminately steal money from traders. The FPA takes a stand that limiting profits from legal trades is unacceptable.

Rule 6.8 was modified some, but the basic ability of LiteForex to grab money legitimately earned by clients remains.

4XP.com

4XP used to be active in the FPA's forums and reviews. In 2013, something went wrong with the company. They had an advertising contract with the FPA. That was suspended when the issues became too numerous. It was then cancelled when the company stopped responding to emails from the FPA.

Instead, over 2 dozen forums accounts were created to try to promote 4XP, even in non-commercial areas of the forums.

One client accepted a plan to be paid in installments. He got 1 payment, then all contact was cut off.

4XP definitely. I also voted for Forexoma. They guy had a well-rated service, then added brokerage ability under the same domain name, which made it look like the broker side of the business had been around longer and had a large, happy client base. Then the company gives no warning and ran off with all the money. Total scumbags.

Don't forget HFX and their "regulation" proof they sent to clients, which apparently was for other companies :)
 
For homeowners 4XP forex company, (perhaps they are reading this message) ... I want my money .. it's my money ... I want my money ...
 
Hello Everyone

I must go for LiteForex.com having myself been employed with a senior member of their support staff and a former senior member of their support staff, and knowing the scams they both committed against their clients.

Good luck
