• 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.

Discuss Forex-Metal.com (Scam Broker, Dead)

General discussions of a financial company
awful broker they won't pay me they keep saying they sent a request to payment department its been a week!

Guys stay away from forex metal they won't even pay me my 120$ LOL.
 
I cash the $ 100 bonus. I was really surprised by Forex-Metal. A great promotion of the Forex-Metal.
 
The BIG problem with reviews is this: Most of the good reviews are from posters that are dubious about being able to withdraw. They post a good review and point this "promotion" on this website to the broker concerned hoping to get into their "good Books" and hence securing their money.
Try and "READ" the good reviews psychologically. Read between the lines. Did the poster actually MAKE withdrawals?
My take on this broker is a BIG SCAM.

We will post this info at many popular trading forums (complete list under video); many already have posts on Forex Metal.

Where possible, we will start a new thread “Forex Metal Ripped Us Off!” for victimized traders to post comments.
To warn other unsuspecting traders, we will also post in the most viewed relevant threads.
Search “Forex Metal” for specific threads until we list them under Video Description.

We suspect Forex Metal created several personalities or used its affiliates either to say what a great broker they are or to market promotions, or both. Usually details are vague. Click on the names; often all their posts talk more about Forex Metal than actual trading.

We apologize for any repetition, but VLADISLAV KOGAN must be stopped from ripping off traders.

Please post your personal stories in this forum, and ALSO under the VIDEO’S “COMMENTS,”
This way, you have a record of your post at each forum and well as at one CENTRAL LOCATION for ALL traders to share comments.

A fellow trader that produces many videos exposing Forex, binary trading, and other financial scams has also created videos about Forex Metal:
Forex Metal - Avoid this Broker:

Forex Metal - This Broker is a Scam, BEWARE:

Forex Metal - Use this Currency Broker and Feel the Pain:

He also recommends that victims create and post their own videos (Ezvideo.com is free and simple), and include a link to our detailed video.

VLADISLAV KOGAN is Forex-Metal Payments Department at payments@forex-metal.com

Email him your comments and copy his employees at:
business@forex-metal.com

If VLADISLAV KOGAN eventually returns ALL of our funds, we will post that information in the future.

2-3 months ago i join forex metal as they advertise that a 100 bonous will be given whithout the need to deposit as long as you trade a total of 50 lots in order to redeem the 100 bonous, after i trade around 40 plus lots i email them for a withdrawal they send me an email
We would like to congratulate you on a successful trading. You have almost completed our trading requirements specified in the $100 bonus promotion. You had to trade 50 trading points in 2 months. Till now you've traded 43.44 points and we are ready to make an exception for you.

According to our conditions the bonus ($100) will be removed from your account.
Now you need to deposit your own funds equal to the balance on your account and complete the number of full lots equal to the deposit divided by 20. For example: your balance is about $100, then you need to deposit $100 and to trade 5 lots. Once this trading challenge is completed, any funds can be withdrawn from the account.
If you want to deposit a smaller amount, we will leave the same amount on your trading account.

To fund your trading account please use this link: https://forex-metal.com/fund_transactions/new
We have many payments options available. You can also make a deposit via your credit card, we have 2 options, if for whatever reason one option does not work for you, try another one.
You can also send your deposit via wire transfer to our bank account using the International Wire Transfer option. Please fill in the same deposit form choosing the “Wire transfer” option and you’ll receive our bank details. Please note that we waive the bank's fee for deposits of $1000 and over.

If you continue using your account and plan to make a deposit into it, you will be eligible for a 100% deposit bonus and other promotions.
Please note that your account will be changed to the regular account (not bonus), and you will be allowed to change your leverage level inside of your Trader’s room.
Login window is located on the left hand side of our front page under the main menu. Choose First Time Login to enter the "trader's room" and to receive your password.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us by email or our on-line support staff (24/5) via Skype Forex-Metal or via on-line chat on our site.

Regards,
Forex-Metal Payments Department

Subject: Withdrawal request submitted

So i just deposit a total of 100 USD to try it out and i traded 5 lots in order to free the money again, but now after i make a withdrawal my money is still in my account and not withdraw at all, previously the customer service was very good they reply me in the same working day but for this withdrawal i sent 3-4 queries to them but none was reply. Traders pls beware of this scam
 
I would like to ask about the company which is behind Forex-Metal.com - Dunboyne Investment S.A. According to the one of the above youtube clips, the company is probably from Uruguay. There is an Uruguayan companies register (https://www.dgr.gub.uy/). Unfortunately it is not available on-line, but it is public and anyone interested can personally ask for information. Therefore, does anybody is able to obtain info about Dunboyne Investment S.A. from the register?
Of course I know that the company may be registered through agents etc., but this still be some info about the company - even the fact that such company really exists (existed) in Uruguay.
 
i don't know about me forex-metal.com but if you are looking for forex broker then i will recommend to check out that they are offering free demo account or not.with free demo account you can learn about the basics of perticular platform, which will help you to make a decision to continue with that forex platform or not. i hope this will help. regards

FPA Forums Team Note: Why are you posting this in a thread for a scam broker that has been out of business for quite some time?
