• 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.

Please do not put your money here. I am a victim of a scam.
This is my first time to trade, so I do not have much knowledge about brokers and how they operate. To cut the long story short, I was introduced to this so-called broker and started trading last January 2022. When I applied for a withdrawal around end of March, they asked me to pay for the 20% of my earnings as tax first before my withdrawal can be released so I came up with the money and complied. But then they said my account is suspicious of money laundering and so again they asked me to pay another sum of money as security deposit. I sensed I was already being scammed so I refused to pay. They threatened to freeze my account. Until now, I haven't gotten any of my money since my withdrawal is still tagged as pending (until I pay the "security deposit" that they are requiring from me). I asked to cancel my withdrawal since there is no option to cancel in their customer management system. Would you believe that they are again asking for a fee just to cancel the withdrawal!!! I communicate with them through their customer service via the chat button in their website. It's a never-ending back and forth of reasoning and pleading but to no avail. They tell me it's the "rules" of the MT5 platform.
My suspicions were confirmed when I started searching about scams in forums and found their name included in the GASO (globalantiscam.org) website list of scam companies. I do not know if I will ever be able to recover my money. This is a very costly lesson for me as I am now in debt. I am just hoping that by posting this here, I will be able to help prevent other people from being victimized by this so-called broker. Please do not entertain people who want to befriend you and later on push their agenda about investing/trading and telling you that they just want to help you.
My mom has the same situation. Can you please show many details? they also asked my mom to pay the tax first and after that they said her coin base account was not stable, so they will directly transfer the money to her bank which needs a 5% transaction fee. Did the broker say "withdraw successful, just need bank transfer"? There is also a guy teach her how to trade with ink tech limited. I told my mom they were a gang but she just never believed it.

DO NOT pay any fees or taxes as this is part of the scam to steal more money from you.

I tried to withdraw the first time but I did not get a reply from them. After two weeks, I followed up and they tell me not to trade when I'm withdrawing money. I tried again just for me to see if they're legit. I was only able to withdraw 1K USD remitted to my Wise account but after this first withdrawal then, no more. I thought, hmmm, "Since I could withdraw, this must be legit.." so I kept on putting money since the "so-called friend" who introduced me to the broker was helping me with the trades and I was earning money. The customer service entertains you when you deposit but when you withdraw, they give you all sorts of excuses because the next time I did, they asked me to pay 20% of my earnings as "tax" before I could withdraw.
 
I am in the same situation with INK tech limited. What do you think we can do?
I already filed a report to the Hong Kong Police but I don't think we can ever get back our money...:( When I check the website and the customer management system and my MT5 account, everything is already non-existent.

I also reported this to the remittance company where I transfer my money to the broker and I ask if I could possibly get my money back since I was being scammed. Wise (the remittance company) gave me a link and asked me to file a police report in the country that Ink tech was operating (in HK) that's why I filed a report. If you also want to file a report here's the link https://www.erc.police.gov.hk/cmiserc/CCC/PolicePublicPage?language=en
Btw, how do you transfer funds to the broker?
