• 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.

Asking questions about a company
The Cortalaw emailed me to join their class-action, I really wish to do inorder to get my stolen money back, but I am not sure if they are legit. I have to pay legal fees to them. Has anyone living in Zurich-Switzerland to confirm their address. Their website is absolutely perfect but on their Map I see a building but there is not any number or any name on the building.
 
I have been approached by this firm, and went along quite a bit. It seemed legit, I could find it in the international lawfirm registry and the official swiss.
I signed some documents, but when I should pay, they suddenly changed the bank to a Singapore bank, claiming it was because the other AML bank had an issue with another firm trying to launder money, so all money to this bank was investigated. Thus it would take too long and the class action was imminent.
I thought it smelled, so I cancelled.
I then was pressed by threats about the fees.
I actually wanted to get an invoice which would have been a proof that the firm is legit.
Nearly a month later I have not received one!
The registry in the HG has now disappeared!
I have no opportunity to go to Zürich, but I am now pretty sure it is a scam.

I think the best idea is that to travel to their office in Zurich. If you go and the firm is legit, I will surely travel to Zurich as soon as possible.
 
Hello

We set a committee to look into the reason you and few others could not receive their funds

released by the Brokers Community.

The outcome of the investigation by the committee is the reason I am instructed to contact you

and to ensure that you enjoy the “Take Back your Deposit” program, same as you showed interest on.

We already begin payments of your funds into a temporary account waiting for you to transfer
to your Bank account.

All you need to do is to make a request for your Login details, and the instruction for withdrawals.
The instruction will guide you to self transfer the fund into your Bank account.

Payments will be 100% of the deposit you made to CherryTrade, 75% of your estimated profits.

Contact us through the email for your Login details or call for help on +44 203 807 8218

Thank you

Hello,

FUNDS NOT CLAIMED WILL BE RETURNED TO UNCLAIMED FUNDS POOL .

We work alongside with The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is a financial regulatory body in the United Kingdom, but operates independently of the UK Government.

MORE INFORMATIONS BELOW :

Emails and namesof those who lost money with some companies (HBC BROKER, BinaryOnline,BigOption,OptionRidge , BinaryBook, Lion Market BloombexOption, SternOption, B4Binary and so on) were submitted to us for investigation and recovery started long ago.let me know how to contact or you can also contact my office: +44 203 807 8218

This is a program set up to fight against irregularity on the financial market and help clients. Brokers Community has no link nor works with any of these companies. Brokers Community investigates both the non-regulated and even regulated companies who broke several rules. Some of which get successfully shut down. So it’s important you get your money before that happens.

YOU ARE not paying me anything, I am fully paid to do my job as a financial specialist. you may wonder how Brokers Community get their money? They get their money from the lawsuit against the company. They go to different courts until they win cases against irregular companies. We do this the legal way and the right way on the financial market. we sometimes even go to court on your behalf.

There is no connection between you and your investment anymore. we are trying to create a link so you can be able to retrieve your funds back. the bank has failed to help because it is a long time ago. the reason we help: we provide and revoke the license, protect clients, keep the integrity of the UK financial system. this applies to different kinds of companies and Services

100% of your investment + 75% of your estimated profits
 
100% sure this is a scam.

Someone contacts you out of the blue and magically knows how much you lost, how to get back your entire deposit, AND 75% of your profits.

Let's look at these claims:

1. Who knows your email address, how much "profit" (see item 2) was in your account and how much you deposited? The people who scammed you, that's who (or someone they sold the information to). Only a government employee or a court appointed liquidator would be able to get the information, and in that case, you would be able to check the status of this on a verified police, regulator, or court website.

Ask this person where you can read about this on the FCA website and who at the FCA can confirm that these are the people who are getting your money back. Then brace yourself for excuses. Remember, if all the money's been secured, that means all forfeitures are complete, so the FCA would be publicizing this as a successful completion of a case and letting people know how to get in touch with the liquidator.

2. Cherry trade was a binary options broker. That means bucketshop. No trades ever went to the real market or two any liquidity provider. So, if these people refund all deposits to all traders, there is NO profit money left to pay any profits. This also means that no money was spend by the scammers to build, run, and market their website. Basically, there's zero possibility of returning 100% the deposit money of CherryTrade clients unless they captured the owners, liquidated their assets, and are using them as slave labor to make up the remaining money which can't be recovered.

I guarantee that if you try this, at some point you'll be required to pay some sort of fee, and that's when things will go wrong. You'll likely also need to provide information that can be used for identity theft.


I cannot say for certain what gemt's role in this is. Many scams want you to pay by Western Union, Bitcoin, or other method that's hard to trace, so it's possible the company is innocent and being used. It's also possible the company is tied up in it. Short of walking into a guaranteed scam trap, there's not way to be certain.

I do find the need for a crypto wallet interesting. Unless your original deposit was in crypto and that crypto had never been converted, any funds sized by the regulator would mostly have been in real money. Gemt should be able to convert BTC to USD, EUR, or GBP, so my best guess is the crypto wallet is part of the scam designed to get more money or identity/financial information out of you.
 
I'm in a same loop. James collins from Brokers Community doesn't stop calling me even I have dasi that i don't do deposit to the GEMT. GEMT is six months old company thefore i don't trust it. I found that some has paid 250 usd for them and after that thay asked her to pay 1100 USD transaction fee. Bit strange that one email comes from brokers community and this person who calls to me three-four time a day email signature is marketeffects.co

Firts mail.

I have been approached by this swiss lawfirm about a group action against YesOption. I have found in the swiss registry it is registrered in Zürich as they claim.
The lawyer is registrered in Singapore where the proceeding are held.
They have showed documentation that they have received settlements in three classactions. All of this is on mail.
Could it all be fake?
Does anyone know this firm?
I have also been apprached and when i checked their credentials i found that the Lawyer was not registered in Switzerland or Hong Kong. I'm sure they are a scam keep away. I was dealing with a guy called Benjamin Geller who was the Legal Coordinator and the supposed lawyer was called Peter Van Dusen.
 
I have received documentation from Hong Kong, that there has been a settlement. Likewise a paper showing that the attorney is legit to practice law there.
Can they fake all that?
I have had thied doucment checked by the Hong Kong Law society and it all fake- Peter Van Dusen who is supposed to be the lawyer is not even registered in Switzeerland. Scam Scam.

Thanks. Actually the Cortalaw web is suspended and all the information about them is deleted from google pages. so for sure, they are Scam Law Firm.
Please if you find out about a legit law firm dealing with binary options fraud victim, let us know. There is one in London but I don't know their name. thanks
 
Binary options involve predicting the movements of commodity, asset or index prices over a short time. Although they may be a legitimate financial product with many licenced firms trading in them, binary options are speculative, high risk products that are almost impossible to predict, even for professionals. There are groups of scammers who use binary options to steal your money.

I would like to drop off few words about my negative and teaching experience with RBOptions company. Like many others, I was contacted by the broker in 2016, and, despite the fact I didn't have any knowledge about financial markets, got convinced by Peter Oaks, that I'll have all his assistance in order to make successful trades. Alright, sounds good, why not to try?

After putting a large amount on my account, I’ve watched how my balance would go higher and higher. And , of course, seeing this “proof” of how I’m good at it, my manager Peter made me invest more over 50000 Euro. After a couple weeks of such magnificent trading, my account ended up over 340000Euro. An excellent opportunity to file a withdraw, no? No!! They released only 1500 in order to trick me invest more 100000. I didn’t have such money at the moment and I was put on hold....Weeks after nobody would even answer my calls or my emails. It became very clear, that I’ve become a victim of a huge and shameless scam. Time passed by and I was growing disappointed and very angry with my own naiveness.

Only at August 2018 I came a recovery expert experts RealRipoffMoreOfYourMoney AT SCAMMAIL DOT STEAL, who works against binary criminals. It was a little hard to believe someone over the internet and phone again. So, I provided them with all documents related to my trading and waited. I got my money back, got trust in people back and I got my lesson!

Spam Cat thinks you are very stupid to post underneath another lying thief in the recovery room scam business.

Spam Cat will now slice you up and use us as an ingredient in a Spam and Cheese Sandwich. NOM NOM NOM.
