They sent A to Z acct manager and without fail calls me around SG time 6-7pm when I am abt to have my dinner, to use high pressure tactic making false promises of helping me trade etc etc
When I saw their T&C on their accts and that only their platinum acct (that u hv to deposit like $20k or whatever the sum) before u get "free" signals. I knew it was scam and the spreads they used is just totally unacceptable at 3 pips
After I have politely and then not so politely told the latest acct manager not to call me and to take my name off their database, they stopped for 1 mth and start up another calling campaign. Now the moment the person announces he/she is from AstonFx, I just simply end the call. My sis was telling me that I could go to GooglePlay and download a free software to my smart phone that allows me to blacklist a number. It may be worth that storage requirement just to have the pressure of stopping their irritating calls
I never deposited any cents with them coz it smelt like scams, sounds like scams and thus its scams. I just wrote a very very angry email to them to stop the nuisance or I will post negative comments regards them. Guess 2 can play at this game of irritating people. I have already fielded 6-7 acct manager calls as well as one supposed to be from "head trader". Since last week, after those 6 calls, I felt that I have given them enough courtesy and enough warning and enough requests to be taken off their database, not to treat any of their staff with even any decency. (I felt bad abt this, the staff just works there, but I doubt they are not aware of these issues). So its end call, the moment they identified themselves as calling from AstonFx
NEVER EVER deal with these scammers or believe their lies. Their so called bonus is bogus! The way they attract ppl is to say that you deposit a certain amt (they dont hv demo acct, they dont believe that customer should be "careless" thus a live acct makes sure that customer can "earn" $ right away, and be careful rgds money mgt. Its like saying u shld just jump into the fire, without being trained to use a fire extinguisher, there's nothing like experience. Whats the pt of learning how to use an extinguisher when the best way is to get burnt?)
Then they will help u to manage your acct
then whatever u lost for those 30 days, they will top back for you to your original capital. After that you can withdraw your funds or continue. Thats what they were trying to sell me. They said that they deal with Trading Central for trading signals and that Trading Central has high accuracy and each trade can be self managed or managed by acct manager if I dont hv the time to take care, I just put in a standing order. (Sounds good, especially when it translates to a standing order of "Pls take all my $ and put it inside your own pocket")
I wont be very surprised if AstonForex refused to come to the discussion or compensate traders, they just want the $, and the acct mgrs get the huge cut, so its all against ONE (one being you). Bad spreads meant broker earn a lot from spreads, acct mgr gets commission from deposit, trades. Whats left is just frustration, angry at yourself for not being careful enough. Its their tactic of hooking newbies who dont know how to trade and wanted to really make some $. Whether the acct managers feel anything doing such unethical things? Well who cares if u are given like maybe upto 40% commission (or whatever that %) for new deposit, each trade. Acct managers are there to make $, they have a target to fulfil, so whatever limited list they have they will keep calling.
I wont be surprised if I start getting more calls after next week despite my angry complaints to AstonFx. Scammers hv skin that even crocodile cant compare! YOU are now warned!
PS: As to why I got onto them in the first place? They advertise they have free Trade Central signals, since I did know abt Trade Central, I was curious and wanted to find out about AstonFx, I should hv not even place my contacts. At least now I have a neat way not to accept their calls!
