• Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.

    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    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.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

    More info coming soon.

Problem Been scammed by a Cyprus Broker? New instructions from CySEC

"On 15.JUL.2015 I was trading EUR/ CAD pair at UFX and I made 7571.36 USD profits. The same day I get email from their employee (VikyG@ufx.com), they deleted my profit (7571.36 USD), in connection to section 9.6 terms and conditions.

So they claim there was "NO QOUTE" on the market in the time of my trading.

NO QUOTE means I couldnt open deal, but I did, so they are wrong!!"

IS THIS STORY TO REPORT??
definitely
 
Why speculate? Drop over to a friend's house, borrow the computer, go to UFX live chat, pretend you are a new potential client who wants to make a deposit, and ask them about regulation. If they still have an active Cysec license, they'll be very happy to brag about it.

Personally, I find the information form Cysec to be very good. Now traders can complain of abusive practices to Cysec itself and can use the Cyprus Financial Ombudsman to try to get their money back. Cysec itself has been slowly expanding it's grip of the companies that it used to allow to abuse innocent traders. I still consider Cysec regulation to be sub-standard, but am very happy to see that they are trying to improve.
 
It is important to stress that the CYSEC has no restitution powers. Therefore any complaints submitted to CYSEC are taken into consideration in the performance of its supervisory mandate.


YES….BUT they can block various accounts…..and so on…
Especially knowing lots of illegal Payment Service providers are also located there !

Very good NEWS
 
this news will turn some heads, brokers will be more wary of their actions while legit complaints will be easier to deal with.. that 7500 vgasper main is still money earned even if you did not deposit much. if they are regulated with CySec then by all means give it a shot.
 
Keep up the complaints both to Cysec AND the Cyprus FOS.

CommexFx, owned by Omari (the same scumbag who owned Prime4x and still who knows how much money), is down. I suspect a combination of Omari getting to spend some quality time in an Egyptian prison along with Cysec suspending Commex's license contributed to this.

I think no concrete actions are taken by them its just to become more "trustful" in the eyes of companies and investors..
