Hi to all
I am very sorry to hear about such horrendous experiences that all of you have had with Secured Options.
I signed up with the NEO2 software on the 1st of June and was assigned the Secured Options broker. I need to mention that I have done hours of research on binary options and trade just because I really wanted to follow my dream of giving up my day job and starting to write. So after hours of thorough research on different Watchdog websites, I concluded that NEO2 is what I need. As a broker, Secured Options was a safe broker. Little did I know. This is the website that made me decide to trust and go for it.
binaryscamwatchmonitor.com/neo2-software-scam-review. They even help you with advice if you have been scammed and they expose all the scams on the Internet, apparently....
Everything went well, the same day I got a phone call from them, from a guy called Jonathan Stone, and he really sounds English. We spoke for a while and he was trying to tell me that having this account is like having a savings account because all the money that I deposit is insured, so no matter what happens on the market, I will always get back what I deposited. That was heaven to me. I do not have a lot of money and my only savings were 1000 GBP, which he convinced me to deposit because they are safe. We proceeded to do some trading together and he won me some money. From 1250 GBP it went up to 1922 GBP. I was extremely happy. Jonathan told me that there is no point in me doing the trading because that is the reason the brokers are there. So I left this to him but I kept an open eye on my account and what was happening. A couple of days later they requested me some documents and a Declaration of Deposit.
I have sent the documents, however, a few weeks down the line, they contacted me again with the same request. I resent the same email, and the same Declaration. After this I received an email saying that my account has been fully verified, All sweet ....
As I said, I did not trade myself due to my lack of experience, however I kept an eye on the account. For the whole time, so almost 1 month, the trading consisted of 2 transaction, 1 in the morning and one in the afternoon, for 25 GBP, with a Level of risk 3 and strength above 80. So I was a bit up and a bit down.
For the first week, the account manager, Jonathan Stone was speaking to me but not asking for money. He said that he likes me. Then it all went quiet. He was not online on Skype for almost 2 weeks. I did write to him and wished him to enjoy his holiday and just contact me when he`s back. I have not heard from him yet but he is online. I wrote to him but still no answer. My last message to him was yesterday, when I said I will want to withdraw some money on the last day of the month. Today, to my surprise, I received a phone call from them, from a guy who`s name I do not remember, who claimed to be from the VIP department and wants us to make some trading together for GBP because the sterling will get back on its feet. The investment was long term with an end on 31/08/2016, totaling 1800GBP, basically all the money I have in the account. I said to him that I am not comfortable doing this because I need money and I plan to withdraw some in the next few days. He was getting visibly annoyed with me because I kept saying no. I was totally oblivious to the scam they were running, however something inside was saying no. So he tells that I am wasting his time and hanged up on me. I tried to call back and speak to a manager but the operator was saying that the number is not right. Then it started ringing but had no answer. I tried the online chat but all of a sudden it is not available to me whereas before it was constantly buzzing. After reading all of this, I am realizing that they will probably try to do the same with me as they did with the rest of honest, hard working people who have lost their money to them.
I am not that interesting because I do not have a fortune but to me it was my little fortune, that 1250 GBP. I did request to withdraw my money and the emailed me saying that it usually takes up to 7 days for the request to be dealt with. I am not even sure if I should ask for the closure of the account. I was thinking maybe to wait and see what happens with my requests, but then I am concerned they will skilfully loose my money now.
I am disappointed but at the same time, good lessons come when you go through this. Again, I want to express my honest sadness towards the people who have lost so much, and I know it sounds horrible,
somehow we will prevail over these scumbags.
