Original FPA Traders Court Submission:

I am submitting the case against: www.globalventurefinancing.com

My Case is: In May 2012, I was approached by Chris Woon ( master IB). He introduced to me GVF broker and said they are representing them in Malaysia. He told me the advantage of joining them is that i dont need to bank wire to broker as it is located oversea. Thus, I transferred my fund to Chris Woon's personal account. After that, I traded myself until last month where I tried to withdraw my money and I realised I could not withdraw my money as GVF ceased replying me. Thus, I went to approach my master IB, Chris Woon. He told me that GVF account has been frozen and thus I will not be able to withdraw my money. It sounds fishy to me as when I got back and did some research on GVF. I realised the a warning has been released since April 2012 on them. Thus, I believe that this Master IB took my money for himself and cheated me by making me think that I am still trading with GVF broker. Hereby, I seek help from the community to obtain back my fund which I used for GVF

Could you please start a new thread in Scam Alerts specifically for your issue with GVF?
 
Go ahead and report both GVF and your IB to the police and Bank Negara. Once that's done, I think the FPA needs to invite GVF to address the issue.
 
You'll never know if the police will accept it until you ask. See if you can find someone at an information desk at the police station and explain that it's financial fraud that you want to report. It may take a couple of tries, but somewhere there's probably a cop who wants to show off his ability to hunt down this type of crime.

For editing the entry, use "Contact Us" and explain what needs to be changed. One of the moderators can then make the changes.

I received reply from Bank Negara. However their reply doesnt seem constructive at all. It's sounds like they are not giving any concern on this since it is out of their purview.
