This is our WizeOption PR desk.
We do not reply to cases like this usually, however since you insisted we will reply and we will explain why we usually don't.
1. Max Williams is not the CEO. There would be no reason for us to state that you could withdraw at any time if you were receiving a bonus. Legally, we cannot hide the fact that withdrawals are restricted when bonuses are provided and not reached. I will not go into the banking part since it does not concern you, however we pay fees in order to open accounts, and close them, and we are largely penalized for closing out accounts with bonus funds inside.
2. 20 trades has always been our minimum trade requirement. Companies such as this survive on customer trading turnover. With no turnover, we don't make 1 dime. If you had read our terms and conditions before opening your account you would have been aware of this, and the rest of the rules of our trading accounts.
3. As we have told you before, our Bonus Terms and Conditions were changed on the 16th of March. Every client that had accounts with us before that date, was notified through email and accounts were blocked until each and every client had accepted the new changes. No one holds a gun to any clients head and forces them to take bonus funds. You need to be aware of all paperwork that you sign. No one signs a contract without reading it through VERY thoroughly.
4. John Edwards is the head of our trading desk, and only trades with clients accounts of $10 000 or more. He assisted you reach your 20 trades that you asked.
5. Our chat box wasn't blocking anyone. We had a temporary issue with our chat box for 20 days exactly until today. Some countries could not access our chat, and others could. IT departments take their time with cases like this.
6. John Edwards does talk to you, he was working a different shift at the time of your complaint, which was explained to you. Ryan Ferreria doesn't talk to you or anyone else, and you know exactly why Johan. Max Williams, is the Head Broker, and does not deal with accounts of $250, with clients that speak to him with vulgar language, and disrespect.
7. As stated, the bonus policy was changed on the 16th of March. Your account was only opened and activated on the 24th of March 2015. You need to be responsible enough to read before signing anything.
8. As stated, the bonus is not to lock your account in and to take your money, because that is not how we make money, and that is not how businesses work. The bonus is to increase your chances of success. If you are a serious trader, you should know that having a larger account balance is only going to benefit you, in order to place larger trades. As everyone knows about investing, you cannot invest daily, it simply does not work. Investing takes months, if not years, that is why our traders do not mind accepting the bonus policy and using the bonus, simply because they know that in 3-6 months down the line, that bonus will be liquid and they will be able to withdraw everything without restrictions.
In regards to what was said to Max Williams on Skype, below is the continuation of the chat: (How you spoke is understandable why you left it out of a blog)
[11-5-2015 20:33:59] Johan Leusink: I have a copy of that
And it does not say about my initial deposit restriction on a Bonus turnover
[11-5-2015 20:35:17] Max Williams: 5. Unless stated otherwise in writing from the Company and only the Company, the terms of the offer, a
precondition for making withdrawals after using the bonus/benefit is to buy options of 40 times the amount of the bonus/benefit amount.
Example: (Bonus x 40 = required turnover for withdrawal of any funds from the account)
[11-5-2015 20:35:45] Johan Leusink: YOU HAVe changed that
[11-5-2015 20:35:58] Max Williams: I never touched anything Johan.
[11-5-2015 20:36:10] Max Williams: This was edited in March. Two months ago.
[11-5-2015 20:36:38] Max Williams: And not even this section. There was another section that the regulatory body changed.
[2015/05/11 08:38:01 PM] Johan Leusink: where does it say that
[2015/05/11 08:38:28 PM] Johan Leusink: what is the section
[2015/05/11 08:38:58 PM] Johan Leusink: goyt it
[2015/05/11 08:39:38 PM] Johan Leusink: as I say you don't have the RIGHT TO LOCK the intianal DEPOSIT because of a BONUS trun over
[2015/05/11 08:40:40 PM] Max Williams: Johan, its in the terms. You agreed to it when you opened the account.
[2015/05/11 08:41:43 PM] Johan Leusink: this is the orgiginalk
[2015/05/11 08:41:50 PM] Johan Leusink: YOUY ****ING LIEING
[2015/05/11 08:41:51 PM] Johan Leusink: 5. Unless stated otherwise in writing from the Company and only the Company, the terms of the offer, a precondition for making withdrawals after using the bonus/benefit is to buy options of 40 times the amount of the bonus/benefit amount. Example: (Bonus x 40 = required turnover for withdrawal of bonus funds)
[2015/05/11 08:42:59 PM] Max Williams: Johan, please. Dont talk to me like that. I dont work for you, and I am not your slave. We are here to help you make money. If you dont like it, then you can complete your turnover and then leave, with the greatest of pleasure.
[2015/05/11 08:43:15 PM] Max Williams: But please dont talk to me like that. I dont owe you anything. You will get no where in life with that attitude.
[2015/05/11 08:43:31 PM] Johan Leusink: yeah
[2015/05/11 08:43:40 PM | Edited 08:43:46 PM] Johan Leusink: \with your attitude you go to jail
[2015/05/11 08:43:51 PM] Johan Leusink: your are a scammer
The people to talk to are not Max Williams, John Edwards and Ryan Ferreria. These are all heads of departments. The only reason you were speaking to them is because they were trying to help you complete your trade restrictions so that you could withdraw quicker. The people to talk to are your account managers, which you forgot to mention by name, such as James William. This is your account manager.
Our email addresses are below:
-
service@wizeoption.com NOT
support@wizeoption.com, that is why your emails were bouncing.
-
accounting@wizeoption.com NOT
banking@wiezoption.com, that is why your emails were bouncing.
I have no clue where those emails came from, however we have had service and accounting since the beginning. We just added support and banking for you now.
Johan, and everyone else, you may think this is a scam, but rest assured, we have not had one complaint, since we treat all our clients well. We agreed to send your funds back to you once this was resolved. You disagreed following the words of the moderator. If you want, the first deal still stands. Resolve this post, and 100% of your funds will be sent back. This is in writing, and we will stick to it. Yes we are the ones with trust issues, since we have been scammed many times by clients saying many things and not delivering. Norman has never dealt with clients that speak to our agents like this ever, so it just shows how much we care about our clients.
How many times can you say that a client has spoken with a CEO of a huge company? Norman took time out of his day to try and resolve a $250 issue. Worst thing about this is that the funds don't even belong to us, they are in your segregated account.
If you have any more questions, direct them to max.w@wizeoption and he will forward them to us and whomever else. Please stop sending emails to accounting and service, since they will not respond. Accounting is meant for documentation, and service is meant for help with accounts, not complaints.
Regards,
WizeOption PR Department.
