General discussions of a financial company
I made 2 withdrawals for my mom's hospital bill on last Monday 27 July 2015. My Expert Trader (Kevin White) from BigOption told me that he did some reserved trades with investment bank last week which could not be cancelled. It sounds like auto trade for 2 weeks long term. He said he reserved trades for Canadian and Oil. I negotiated him to withdraw $5,000 and it was success but I need to cancel another withdraw in order to cancel reserved trades he made. I think it is a big liar. After I cancelled my withdraw, kevin did some trades immediately on USDJPY and OIL and all trades got LOSS result for $17,500 in total just in an hour.(http://puu.sh/jeyMn/54657ac252.png) I changed my password and terminated expert trade contract immediately. I still have some money left in my account but only the bonus which I can't withdraw. The only way is to win trade until it exceeds the bonus level.

I asked Support BigOption many questions but no respond. I got only email said that my case was escalated to that department or that manager and it's gone. Please see below questions I submitted to BigOption.

Please answer these questions I have got advise from Mr. Kevin White

IS IT TRUE?

Complaining about the Company BIG OPTION

Hi Guys,

I have invested with Big Options, they had this thing called Binary Breaker Auto trading which I dint even know was related to this company, I wanted to find out if the software called Binary Reaper really works, than after I put $250 I saw that my account was getting too many loses, so I stopped the Auto trader, than a broker from Big Options called me (Kevin White) saying that he can trade for me and wanted me to put as much money as I can so which he said to me to put $15-$30k once he heard my credit limit.

I said I will not do that, because I said I cannot trust him as yet, and that he needs to show me proof and proof himself to me first. After long talks almost for 2 weeks, eventually he agreed, than I only put $1000 than he started to trade and made a very small amount of money $200 est. but because the trades where long trades like 2-4 weeks apart, he kept calling me asking me for more money, and he kept saying that with such little money he cannot do anything, he said that there is a non -farm payroll news coming up, that I should not miss this blabla..he said that he will double my account in that news. So after sending me winning trades of other trades he did apparently, which I didn't believe but said...I am going to give you a go and put only $4000 extra. The first day I put the money he gambled and lost 6 trades out of 6 trades $2650 out of the $5000 USD. Earlier before he started to trade, he said he will make low risk trades. I also mentioned that he should not trade more than 10% of the total account! But he dint listen he just did his own thing without consulting me by breaking our agreement.

I said to him to recover the $2650 and was complaining that he dint do what I said. He apologised saying that the hedging dint go well etc. I was very angry.

Than he said the company agreed to give me the $2650 back as a bonus, which means he has to make $53,000 in order for me to withdraw the money, now I am totally stuck, I had to make a decision to either just to withdraw my $2350 USD or go by what Mr. Kevin White says. He promised me that he will be able to achieve the 53k within 6 months. He said he is very certain about it. It’s like he deliberately made sure I lose the money so that I can be stuck with these guys! How can a Broker lose 6 trades out of 6 trades and lose $2650 in one day!!!! I would have had much better chance by myself trading pushing buttons. How can a Company hire such a person who does not know what his doing!!!!

So now, I said that he dint comply with the customer policy which was to stay within my guidelines, which was to invest only 10% of the account which he did it again and again afterwards he kept losing trades the account was as low as $2600 est waiting for expiry and the account now is at $4628.29 after winning and losing, but this took like 3 months or so. He was going to make the $53k in 6 months, but he kept losing.

I complaint to the company but can't get true to the manager....it’s like they keep avoiding me. The Broker Kevin White is blaming me that it was my fault that I lost, because I stopped him from losing more of my borrowed money that I am paying interest on.

I asked that I want my full refund and my whole account to be restored to full which is $5000, but no answer, they keep referring me back to Kevin White and he is playing games with me. So I send a request to withdraw at least the $4628.29 that is left no responds at all....!??? I can see that they cancelled my request to withdraw my account. They did not send me an email that it was cancelled nothing in writing. They most likely called, and dint even leave a message saying that it was cancelled. Kevin is making excuses saying that he tried to call and that I am not answering, I told him earlier to communicate everything in writing via Skype. He is being careful what he writes on Skype or emails.

Now I am stuck, cant withdraw my money and this Broker Kevin White is no allowed to touch my account anymore I cancelled the agreement for him to trade for me. I don’t know what to do now.?

I really need your HELP PLEASE to investigate and to see what we could do to get my money back?, as I have no clue how to handle this, DO NOT TRUST KEVIN WHITE FROM BIG OPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or don't trust the company all together. They are liars, thief’s and I believe they are working together as a team, they are destroying lives out there.

There is only $4628.29 USD left….which I want back.

This is my case against the Broker Kevin White and Big Option:

1- He went against my will & Policy according to the agreement which states this in the agreement.

2- He invested over 10% which was our agreement before he invested.

3- How can a company employ a person who does not know how to trade? 6 out of 6 trades? Come on!!!

4- Why can’t I speak to the manager or any resolution officer??

5- I am not satisfied with the performance or behaviour of Kevin White, accusing me of being mentally il!


Kind Regards

Ismail.
 
I have similar issue with Bigoption. I deposited $2505 which qualifies me for a 75% bonus and a trading software, and suddenly this guy (Antonio Costas) called and claimed that he is my account manager. He offered to trade my account with 15-20% return on investment monthly, I declined. He then offered to trade the account for 2 weeks with 100% guarantee, I signed and return the form. After first 2 trades, he called that he has a goal making money for me but long term, he wants me deposit $50,000 I declined, then he said for him to make 20% ROI, he need me to deposit the minimum of $15,000. I told him I need results first, he traded about 3 more, meanwhile each time he trades no money is been taking out as the initial investment, the profit just showed up in my account in all the first 5 trades. He kept persuading me, and I resisted, until the end of the 2 weeks agreement. It was suspicious to me, I left the money in my account and I was planning to withdraw. After about 4 weeks without any communication between us, I found 6 opened positions of $500 each and my account was empty for the first time, I quickly contact them and I was told my account manager will contact me. I sent him an email .. no reply until the position expired and lost all the trades. Each time I called, they will tell me "we will call you back" but nothing, they don't reply emails too. I don't mind spending more money, but would really like to file a suite against them. they are scammers 3 things; 1) they trade don't give whatever bonus they promise, 2) they initially traded my account without taking out the investment, 3) asking for huge investment immediately after deposit.

Have you been assisted about your issue regarding the platform since then? Follow-up?
 
I HAVE A SIMILAR CASE, AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO FILE A CASE AGAIN THEM,THESE HAS TO STOP. SOMEBODY MUST STOP THEM, THEY USE THE SME PATTERN TO TAKE PEOPLES MONEY
Hi Sam,

Have you contacted them regarding your queries? If so, which contacts detail you used? From where did you make a deposit?
 
Yes I did contact them several times, both emails and phone calls. I sent an email followed by a phone to speak with my so called account manager (Antonio costas) when I found strange trades opened with all my investments ($3,000), he didn't reply to my email, and when I called I was told that he is going to call me, and there is nothing they can do about the opened position. Theses are the contacts: (Antonio)Antonio.costas@bigoption.com, support@bigoption.com and their telephone number +44 20 3514 4276.
I live and made the deposit from the U.S, online deposit via my bank debit card, and a credit card.
Strangely enough, a lady called me and said, she is so sorry about my account issue and bigoption/Antonio costas, they are the best in the industry and are wiling to help. She continued and said, Antonio is suspended and will be prosecuted, but she needs me to make any amount of deposit and she will match it with 200%, and she will use it to recover my lost, and there are big events coming up very soon.
I told her I cant do that because I'm not a fool, from legal point of view it meant I have accepted the lost. I gave her 2 conditions, (1) if they can create a new account and (2) a written agreement to refund me if something will go wrong. she agreed and promised to send an email to that effect, unfortunately, nothing from them. Please help me out.
Thanks
Samson
