I opened an account in December 2016 with a view to trading with a robot. It linked me to the trading platform Binarytilt.com. I was very quickly contacted by Josh Miller who said I should use him as my broker instead of the robot, so I increased my investment from the £250 minimum with an additional £5000 and with the guarantee of an 'insured' trade it was invested at a loss. True to his word the money was replaced in my account and subsequent winning trades were placed. Josh then called saying he had more guaranteed trades but they only were insured for new money. I explained I could not fund the account but he promised to set up an immediate payment for the day after the trade closed for my initial capital, which would either be guaranteed or would turn a profit. As it was already 'in the money' he said it could not fail.
The trades were mixed, overall in the money but one trade failed which was supposedly insured, but never credited to my account. I last spoke to Josh on 2nd January 2017 with my account comfortably in profit, and requested a withdrawal on 3rd January 2017. I received a call from Mike Ross who said Josh was unavailable and he was his boss, there are some more guaranteed trades that are available and at the end of the next week he would send me my cash back, but I needed to fund the account for the insurance. As Josh seemed a lovely guy, had been good to his word and Mike Ross was his boss, I funded the account further.
The trades were indeed profitable, and as a result I received a call from Michelle Casilieris on 10th January 2017 who was apparently Mikes boss, and the architect of the trade deals which he and Josh and a whole team below her were advising clients with. She said my account had been flagged as highly rated account and warranted the highest level of broker, but a managed account would require another round of funding, and suggested I remortgage my house to raise the money. I insisted that this was not going to happen and I wanted the initial withdrawal request to be honoured before I did anything else on the account.
On 23rd January 2017 I sent Michelle a message and (presumably thinking I was going to fund the account after all) she called me back in seconds. I explained again that I was not putting more money into the account, and was still waiting for the withdrawal to be processed. She was not happy and mumbled, ok I will process it for you, and hung up the phone.
Since then she has not replied to any calls or messages, Mike Ross is not available and Joss Miller has not been on his Skype account since 2 Jan. The online live chat either time outs or takes forever for an operator to answer, if you are lucky enough to make contact on the rare occasions that you can get an operator to speak to you (Sunday morning for me) they promise they will get the relevant department or broker to call, but nobody does.
The telephone number on the website is NEVER answered, and payments@ compliance@ and support@ binarytilt.com only ever say the account is being investigated, if I am lucky enough to get a reply.
Furthermore, their website claims to be regulated in New Zealand, but the regulator there has confirmed that they are not. They are also not regulated by CySEC, or the FCA in London. They operate (allegedly) out of London offices. They are owned by a company called Chemmi Holdings Ltd in London. The registered company secretary is Corporo Ltd and sole Director Mr Simon Joseph Curran. The registered office is in Kensington.
I have called the landline everyday at least once or twice since the initial withdrawal request, called and messaged Michelle Casilieris, I have emailed hundreds of times, and only had one or two holding emails in reply, I have threatened going to the police, and the regulator but to no avail. I have now written to the holding companies registered office demanding settlement of my full account, and the guaranteed trade, in total £76,270.80. I have posted on Facebook, complained to LinkedIn about the regulation claims that have made and have screen shots and supporting evidence, including Skype chats.
Next week I am going to visit the offices in London, but reporting a financial crime to the police is my only last action.
I would love to hear from anybody who has had money out of these rogues.
" and a I cant withdraw them, I have filed a complain to credit card company. I did not sign any of their forms. I hope someone can stop these people. They just reply that they need all the sign papers before withdrawal but i know if i sign them il be in a worse spot. Someone who know who these guys are?
