• 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.

General discussions of a financial company
I have just lost $20,000 to option500. Please advise how to recover my money or report a scam
 
A trader named Carl Ericsson made a bunch of empty promises and kept pressuring me and my mother to deposit more money
 
I got signed up with them via a FAKE CNN page:

cnn.com-cat.tech/satoshi-nakamoto-launches-bitcoin-mine/

It is totally FAKE, and all set up by Option500 to attract more customers.. DO NOT SIGN UP with Bitcoin Mine, you actually will sign up with Option500. it is just a fake landing page to sign up with Option500, Bitcoin has NOTHING to do with it so that Satoshi-Yakamoto video must be FAKE as well.

NEVER trust a company that so blatantly lies to us, like we are stupid or something. What they do is CRIMINAL and I have reported them to CNN, so I hope they will sew them for using their logo without permission and spread FAKE news about Bitcoin in CNN's name!.. What a joke!
 
Did you manage to recover your money?
No. I would advise you to report Option500 as a scam to Visa Inc.'s merchant complaint. If enough people complain about Option500 Visa will look into it and take action, possibly allowing you to have a chargeback dispute victory.
 
Thanks for you reply. Contacted them and waiting for thier reply.
No problem. If you know other victims make sure they all send them to Visa's merchant complaint page or email them directly at VCF@visa.com . the more people complain about option500 the more convincing it will be.
 
I was scammed $19450 by option500 through their account manager James Shaw, how do I claim back my money?

The website https://option500.com/ has now gone!

How did you make the deposit to them, was it bank card?
