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.
Just like here BigOption is regarded "as a scam", there are many other binary options platform out on the internet who are getting the same exact reviews. Which one to believe? Do the diligence to learn more about your broker.
Well, it is nice that you had your funds back as it is your rights...Hello KrishnaS,
I created an account with BigOption and also got contacted by Kevin White as being my "expert trader".
He kept urging me on depositing more to get the most out of the "bonus".
Then I stumbled upon your message placed on the forum and other forums with bad experiences also with Kevin White at BigOption.
After reading the messages (I fortunately had not traded yet with my account) I made the descision to withdraw the money I deposited.
I send an email, because I did not want any contact by telephone anymore, because of the aggressive nature and not respecting my descisions.
The next week and a half he kept on calling me every day. I thought I was clear in my email that I wanted to withdraw the money I deposited (I also filed a withdraw through the website). After a few days he calls me 6 times a day, 1 time every hour, for more than a week.
After that I got an email from the Finance Department, they said they need to verify me. I replied that the Finance Department may call me to verify my account and that I did not want any contact with Kevin White anymore and do not want him to be the expert trader of my account.
An hour later I got an email that the withdrawal action was verified and I got the money back I deposited.
I sent a formal invitation for BigOption to join this discussion thread. The reply was...
