Hello everyone,
Back in late January I was cold called by a company called Pacific Option - it sounded like I was being called by someone working in a busy call center (think boiler room). He offered his managed account binary services and to just try them out, I said no. A couple days later his boss called me Frank Bass apparently the CFO of the company, and told me he would take my account personally. He guaranteed my funds, with a written email to just try them out so I did very stupidly however deposited $1000, he made money, impressed me, then asked for another $4000 to make things more effective.
He would call me every time he placed a trade, and communicate with me frequently via email, Skype, and telephone. He managed to take the account from $5000 to $5790 quite quickly. One day the communication just stopped abruptly, I didn't think anything of it, he calls me back after I wrote him an email inquiring about his activity and he told me he was in a motorcycle accident and that he would be back in business shortly. He never came back in business, that's when I put forth a withdrawal on February 24, 2016. This withdrawal has never gone through, I've managed to get in contact with "support", but they keep stalling telling me they need to speak with the banking department and they would call me back etc..
I am very concerned that my money is being held hostage, their website seems pretty good and it looks like a lot of time and money has been put into it. I have also not been able to find anyone else complaining about being scammed by this company Pacific Option.
They also have an anti money laundering policy that they must follow set out by the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group. I had given these guys my passport, utility bill and driver's license which concerns me the most.

I've attached some pics with important information my account balance, emails between me and Frank Bass, and some pictures of the website.
