• 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.

Problem fx-root.com HUGE SCAM

I am having an issue with a company
Not sure which bank details you were provided with for the fund transfer. There was meant to be a client segregated account set up with ourselves through OTP Bank Slovakia. Yes alias Mark Brown has dug his own hole at this stage, identity received.
There was never an office in London or NYC.The Barcelona office has been visited but as already mentioned, no one to be found "YET"

Yes, i transfered to the OTP Bank. Mark Brown was the one who wrote me since august. Befor the name was Jasper Houkes. He talked to me in german with a dutch accent on the phone.
 
Yes I also transferred to the OTP bank.

Ezra van Groningen has a company in Slowakia called Root trading s.r.o and so does Jasper Houkes. The name of his company is Prosperity trading s.r.o

Good informations... Do you have any homepages or e-mail-adresses of that companies ?
 
Hello,

The Varengold Bank is NOT willing to confirm that it was Erza van Groningen that opened the trading account (there also not denying it). Is there any way we can have the OTP bank
confirming it was Ezra that opened the account. If his identity is confirmed I will be able to locate his family in the Netherlands.
 
I visited The office in Barca last month as it all seemed too good to be true. I met mark brown and Ezra for lunch and their stories were different from previous phone conversations. I got some cash out to test, but still a lot lost. The office had computers and screens etc and looked real, but there was no other staff there, Mark Brown said he had fired 2 employees recently, but in previous phones calls said he had had to start more people cos business was so good! I emailed Varengold and had reply that Fx-root are under investigation by them. I will post if I get updated.
 
OTP have confirmed that Ezra is a signatory on the account, we are seeking an injuction on the account and are awaiting a response. The information from OTP is slow coming back but as far as I know the account is stil active.
