FBS is undertaking actions to undermine and eventually confiscate successful clients profits just like they did when they were known as Poltek FX.
Initially i was a client that regularly blew his account balance at FBS.
I studied. Got better. created a good business plan, implemented it and was successful. Because of the volume i traded on my accounts, i was even given VIP status.
Now Trading on all my FBS accounts have been disabled till i pass verification again.
I've been given a plethora of reasons from IP related issues to AML procedures as the cause.
My problems began when FBS under the guise of wanting to interview successful traders for their blog, started asking odd questions. Asking about my strategy, when i would close my trades etc.
Now over the course of several weeks I've been asked to provide "ALL" of the following. Photocopy of ID, Driving license, passport, utility bill, bank statement, selfie. Then selfie holding each document back and front. Then a manager calls me up, to take a selfie of me on Skype! Then they want certified notorized apostille copy of passport by post.
I've complained yet provided every single document they asked for and done all they've asked in a timely fashion. Yet there is still some delay in re-enabling my account.
FBS support have now become extremely rude, they've informed me i can no longer speak/chat to managers/supervisors and can only get updates via e-mail. But absolutely no updates are forthcoming. I've already had one account blow up on me and taken some losses - FBS realise the longer this goes on, the chances are very high that the rest of my account will also lose all their profits.
i supplied them with the most legal thing that exists to prove my identity - a notorized apostille copy of passport, but that wasn't good enough. They wanted it to come from the embassy and 6 months bank statements.
Still not a problem i wrote back, and posted what they wanted same day. They were due to receive it via registered post end of the week.
but the pair i was traded recently broke down in my favour and FBS responded by immediately disabling my accounts. I had about 25 of them. They also seem to have closed them at prices that are far from what it should be. When my accounts were disabled on 18/7/2018 11:00 GMT +2, GBPUSD was at 1.3029... highest reached after disabling was 1.3045, lowest was 1.3009.
FBS WROTE on july 11th 2018 : After all the required documents will be provided and reviewed and we will be completely sure that your documents are in fact in order and valid, your account will be verified.
They knew they were getting the documents they recently requested very soon. I posted it the same day they asked for it. So no delays there. but disabling my account after GBPUSD broke down after CPI news was just as low a blow as a shady broker could give. I cannot get a straight answer from FBS about what just happened. I managed to chat with support and from the conversation i had before she was shut down ... it also seems that FBS closed off my trades at unrealistic prices. I basically stand to loose 170,000 usd from this Scam Broker
