I want to share with you my very sad and depressive experience with what is called StocksM company (stocksm.com), which claim they are brokers for Binary Options.
I was called in late August by Arabic speaking woman (from a number starting with +44), asking me if I'm interested to invest in stock market and gold. Once I told them "yes", another woman called afterward explaining all about the company history and they have many branches beside UK, such as united arab emirates and other european countries. Thus, I opened an account with them and they withdrew 10,000 USD from my credit card. Next day, a man by the name Dr. Faris Abdullah (speaking arabic) called me stating that he is my account manager. He sounded knowledgeable. He introduced me to their trading platform called SIRIX. We communicated through whatsapp most of the time and we did many trading transactions and all where successful. He then started pursuing me to invest more money to make better return and he added 25,000 as bonus for me. I was so stupid and I believed his lies. So, I wired money to a bank account in Dubai (UAE) that belongs to the company. After a while I noticed my balance was going low so I asked him to stop making transactions. After that, I asked him to withdraw the remaining of my balance. So, he kept refusing but finally he agreed to send me 10,000 back to my credit card. I called the company number on their website and another man by the name Sami Awad and he told me that I have to make specific number of transactions in order to get my money back. So, he started suggesting to me buying more gold. few days later, I got a call from Sami saying that the gold is down and I will loose all my money unless I invest more. So, I sent them another 20,000USD to same bank account in Dubai. To cut the story short, they took all the money and they stopped replying to my messages and even I can't call the company anymore as they put a block on my number.
I contacted the bank in Dubai many times but they did not reply. I even called the company for SIRIX platform but it is not even existing. I still see Faris Abdullah & sami Awad whatsapp account active and running and I'm sure they are still fooling more victims like me.
I feel so helpless and I pray to God everyday that I can get my money back. I wish there can be any solution on this website to help me by any mean.
