I always had a funny feeling about forex metals, do keep us posted on how it went, and try to send them a link to this thread, hopefully they would come and explain.
 
When was this account at Forex Metal Opened? They were declared to be a scam by the FPA back in December 2014. Unfortunately, FPA Scam Findings don't usually result in instant closure. Some companies last for a few months. Some last for many years. Looks like Forex-Metal survived for a year and a half. Warning clients away from scam brokers is generally a good idea. It saves clients money in the long run and also helps to put scammers out of business faster.

How did the client deposit? When and how much did the client deposit? If by credit card and recently enough (time depends on country), a recovery via chargeback may be possible.
 
Dear All,

1) Please find in attachment our client's bank statement (with remarks in red) which proves that client made payment to Forex-metal.com's local Agent's bank account in Nigeria on 27th May 2016.

2) Furthermore, please find below a forwarded email message dated 26th May 2016 per instructions of which our client effected payment of the deposit stated in point 1) above:

Hello,

Sincere thanks for your attention.
Please check my latest post herein.
 
Forex Metal appears to be gone. Considering it was already rated scam by the FPA, putting any money with them was obviously a very bad idea.

Depositing with a local agent is usually suicidal, since the broker and the agent can stand there pointing fingers, each accusing the other of having the money. In this case, it may be possible to file a civil or criminal case against the agent demanding return of the funds.
