Another victim of the Banc de Binary Scammers

I am from same SG and an earlier victim of BDB. Don't stop your fight. You need to escalate further. I got partial money back.

Same here, where banks initially didn't accepted my dispute i.e with same reason that transaction was authorized. Raised a case with reason "Services not rendered as described" and with all supporting documents.

Good that you approached lawyer. If still banks didn't accept dispute case, include MAS in your dispute mails to banks. Banks need to accept your case.

After escalation, at least MAS added these merchants in their fraud list. However, I am still requesting for a complete ban (same as done in US, Australia etc,.)

All the best in your fight and feel free to ping privately if require any assistance.

How did you approach the banks on this? Because there does not seem to be any forms to file or anything, but when I call them up, they straightaway tell me that I do not have a case as I authorised the transactions with a one-time pin.. then they'll just tell me there's nothing they can do for me, give me awkward silence and that's it!
 
I wrote a complaint email to BdB compliance dept in Dec last year, no one replied and I wrote in to the customer service, their reply was a stupid "How exactly can we help you?". In the end I wrote to the complaints dept more than a week ago and this was their reply today:

If you are under the (formerly) Cysec-regulated branch of BDB, file a complaint with the Cyprus Financial Ombudsman.
 
That is not true I respectfully disagree I trade both forex and binary options. There are good binary option brokers. Nadex and IG are CFTC and FCA regulated btw. Only the offshore ones that are located in Israel which we all know are run by the casino and online gaming sites are the problem I have learned, thanks mostly to people here :rolleyes:
 
Hi Guys,
One of the banks with which I made the initial deposit has agreed to file a chargeback on good faith basis as the chargeback time has passed. However, in order to further investigate, they have requested for an "Agreement Copy" between me and Bancdebinary, which I don't think there ever was.
It just started with the initial $250 and then phone calls and they only sent receipts of payments.
Please advise as what to do in this case.
Regards,
 
Tell then exactly how things transpired and that you don't have those copies.

Make a new thread for this..
 
Hey all, one of my banks just called me to inform me that my chargeback has been rejected as I have insufficient evidence in proving that Banc de Binary did not p[rovide me with the "services". How do I go about the next step?? I'm getting more and more dejected with each rejection of my claims because of my lack of evidence ='(
