Hello All,
This post is about the very certain nature of scam from OptionRally (Option Rally) and ScalaTrade (Scala.Trade).
First of all, I don’t even know where to begin my case, but here are 2 pieces of info you must know before reading the rest of the story:
1. I didn’t directly invest into ScalaTrade to begin with. I was an OptionRally investor for 3 months and then I was asked to “transfer” to ScalaTrade due to internal movement.
2. There are no option not to transfer and withdraw, as soon as the ScalaTrade staff contact me, my OptionRally account became $0 balance. (the money that I had with OptionRally was over $100k USD)
---
Now here's the story:
Since the beginning of April 2016, me and many other investors got a letter from ScalaTrade claiming OptionRally users will now be transferred to ScalaTrade. I was quite reluctant to do so as I have not seen any information about ScalaTrade at all on the web. However the middleman that referred me to OptionRally claimed that is it a company restructuring move, and since it is a FORCED move, I have only one option to go – transferring the account.
In short, after ScalaTrade receive the account opening documents from me, all communications has been cut off from the person requesting us to transfer. The middleman also claim that he is also in the blind about the situation, but he did ask me to be patient as the “company restructuring” might have affected their ability to respond promptly. But after a total of 1 month of waiting, I begin to aggressively reaching out to the company via all channel to request for update (with different attempts to contact them, via phone, company respresntative’s ScalaTrade email address, general ScalaTrade email address, and ScalaTrade’s website live-chat, and also OptionRally’s old agent), with a total of approx. 20 contacting attempts from May until June 2016 (today), I receive ABSOLUTELY no response from ScalaTrade/OptionRally (Live-chat asked me to hold, and later disconnect the chat). And later on even the middleman is unreachable. (Approx since Mid-June)
After trying to communicate with other investors, we were quite certain that this company has no intention to be a forex trading company, its existence was solely for the purpose of acting as a money laundering service for OptionRally. OptionRally is perhaps, setting up many of such companies to absorb any funding from innocent investors. Knowing my money is probably long gone and untraceable, I can only warn everyone out there about these two companies and remember NOT TO invest in them!
FPA:
Please advise if an investigation can be conducted, or anything I can do to increase my chance of fighting with these people.
If you know any other reputable sites that I should post this warning, please do kindly let me know. The more people being informed, the better.
Thank you
