Original FPA Traders Court Submission:
I am submitting the case against: www.ctoption.com
My Case is: I signed up with CT Option in 2015, and lost around 11k USD. I stopped trading but an account manager by the name of Fred Adams convinced me if I deposit 10k they would do all the trading. Regrettably, I sent the 10k and my account stated making money. I did not ask for the bonus but they put one on there anyway- 10k. My account went only up to 24k and I was assured after 90 days I could withdraw funds. I waited 90 days but I desperately needed money for bills. I only asked for a withdrawal of 2k and they sent me the confirmation but I got nothing! I contacted support but they gave me the excuse that in order to get he withdrawal my account needed to have it to 15k x 30. I argued that I only got 10k for the bonus, and support said they would look into the matter but nothing happened. I tried to log into my account to see what was going on. I was losing money by the thousands. I asked what was going on and they claimed that my account was connected to the auto-trading software, that I never signed up for! I then requested to close my account and just get what was left. The amount was 9562USD but they did not comply and blocked me from logging in. I thought I just forgot my password, so I did the "forgot password" link. I still could not get in.
