Fast Chronology - In case anyone is interested to Read Up.
( please restrain from judging my stupidity. I admit my mistake)
1. I met a guy on Tinder (from China), claimed himself to be a businessman of a real estate management company in Changsha, China..
2. To cut the story short, he introduced me to Forex - RIMFX as the broker & MT4 as the trading platform. (ofc with all the other promises to earn money together etc)
3. He asked me to
specifically download the software from RIMFX website. And I did, and started a demo account. After a week or so, I hesitantly deposited USD1000. Few days later, I did my first real trading, and won USD105. All of the trading was based on this guy's instruction.. for example: "XAU/ USD -- 3.00 -- SELL".. Etc.
Question: can MT4 platform be manipulated/ hacked?
4. I tried to withdraw the winning money, and within a day I received it. I asked the Customer Service Manager (LINE ID: kef999) why the sender left no formal information which could link back to their company? Why does the sender appear to be quite sketchy? (Sender, named the transaction as "Aircond Service Fees"..).. Customer Service replied "Oh, it is from our local agent/ agency in Malaysia. If we use our company acc. to transfer, it'll take more time to be processed".
5. The guy from TINDER said he likes me and wanted me to help me earn more. Hence, he deposited 5000 usd into my trading account = now I have ard 6000USD. [To be honest, I did not want his money. But he insisted it his way of showing his sincerity bla bla.]
6. To cut the story short again - Yesterday (FRIDAY ard 10.15pm), he said there was a good market and we started trading.
7. I had a problem. He gave the instruction of "XAU/ USD -- 3.00 -- SELL" but when I clicked on the "Sell"... It was weird koz I am hearing like an "Error sound". Before this, all successful process will give out like a more pleasant sound. So, I wasn't sure if I was TRADING or there was an error. Moreover, I could not see the (X) or CLOSE BUTTON (just in case I was already in the trading process).. I tried to figure out what happen, and then after 5 minutes, I opened my account via RIMFX website, i was shocked to see the amount to be in the NEGATIVE (-5785).
I never knew the trade could be negative until I read about it on the internet.
8. I had no idea what NEGATIVE meaning means until I got an email from the BROKER (Today Saturday Afternoon Malaysian Time) asking me to pay them the -5785USD within 3 days.
9. I asked the Tinder guy, what will happen if I fail to pay on time? He jus said, the Broker will send me a Lawyer Letter (this is not mentioned in the email. the email just said, “Please handle it within three working days, so as not to affect your personal credit and credit investigation, which will bring you inconvenience.
What am i supposed to do? Should I pay back the -5785 USD? I'm so stressed!
