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.

Avoid them!! A few tips to recognise the scam: BRON : https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0102-refund-and-recovery-scamsPretty much 100% of these recovery companies are scams.
They act as though they can magically open up offshore accounts, credit card processors, etc with no legal authority.
It's very hard just to force a licensed UK brokerage to give you back money without suing them, etc.
The idea some shady company can recover funds from a broker in St Vincent or the Marshall Islands... come on folks.. think about it. Not going to happen. If you trade with these shops that offer 400x leverage, etc you are doing the same as gambling at an offshore casino.
Hi,I have try different companies but looks like they are another scam.
I have applied for chargeback at my bank but unfortunately they didn't do too much.
I am still hoping I will get one day the right person to help me with this matter.
Thanks to everyone for your response.
