My name is Albert,Nigerian and was introduced to FXunited by a friend of mine who had been using their services. At first,it seemed to be a very good broker and many loved them cos they don't have slippages,many people used them especially news traders and they did not complain about news trading..On December 17,2013..they made a sudden announcement on their website that some countries would be discontinued from their services..here is read thus:
"Dear Client,
Effective immediately, FxUnited does not accept traders/registration from high risk countries such as Nigeria, Iran, USA, Cuba, Sudan, Syria & North Korea. This is to comply with the financial license that we have now. Fund deposit from this countries also will be not accepted. In 48 hours, all accounts from the countries mentioned will be suspended.
Any further action regarding your current account, please contact our support via ticket or live chat.
We are very sorry for inconveniences cause by this matter. Thank you."
as soon as we saw this,we (i and all my friends using their services)immediately applied for withdrawals of our funds..we did this to make sure the suspension doesn't affect our money..i had about $3000 requested for withdrawal..the bounced it and gave reason..saying "fraud trading"..then said they would only allow me withdraw $812 from my account..i did not complain..i reapplied for a withdrawal of $812 and awaited my funds..then days later All accounts were suspended,mine and thousands of people's...and till date,we haven't got our funds,one guy i know lost about $5000 from this mess,money withheld and withdrawal not processed.
We couldn't chat because chat isn't working..phone not going through and i personally have sent tons of email to support and finance department,asking them to process my withdrawal,i haven't got any reply yet..not a single one!!! We can't even login again since the suspension,both clients area and MT4 terminal.
Many fxunited traders i know are currently in problems because of this events..am not happy either about this,i believe i have been scammed along with others and i need FPA to help me get my funds back,i will do my best to provide any info requested.
I advise new traders to beware of this broker,they are scam!!,seizing funds with silly excuses and wont process your "approved" withdrawals...
