This is interesting as I've had a similar experience with Tradelad. I was trying to withdraw money from them and met with difficulties when their Tradelad.com website went down. It was only last week I discovered Tradelad.net - and it was exactly the same as Tradelad.com in every way other than for saying they were in London rather than New York, and no longer claiming they were registered with the SEC. I found my account did not exist on their new website. Due to my bad experience with them, I contacted their internet provider and told them about how they were non-cooperative with me when they were Tradelad.com in allowing me to withdraw money from my account. Based on that, their internet provider suspended their Tradelad.net website.
That made Tradelad want to finally contact me, and they did and asked for a phone number I could be reached out. They really wouldn't answer any questions by e-mail, saying they wanted to discuss it over the phone (presumably so there would be no record of what they were saying). Anyway, they have called me, and it shows up on my phone caller ID as "Unavailable" so I don't know where these calls are coming from.
They claim they tried to contact me by phone when their old website went down - however my caller ID on my cell phone only has calls from people I know throughout that time.
They claimed their internet provider won't unsuspend their website until they process my withdrawal. However, now they are insisting i first pay them $828 and want me to wire money by Western Union to some woman in Houston, TX who they claim is their "receive agent". When I ask for details on this person as to her exact address and phone number they won't give it, they just want me to trust that if I wire money to this person they will send me the money in my account. On top of that, they claim the "high fee" for withdrawing is because my account was inactive! That was through no fault of my own, my account was active up until the day their website disappeared in August . It is not my fault I only found their their new Tradelad.net website last week. Before their old website went down they were asking for some even larger "SEC Broker Fee" which of course there is no such thing as, and they were never registered with the SEC. When I pressed them over the phone about the SEC when they contacted me last week, they now say they were in the process of applying to the SEC! That is because I told them I had called the SEC and the SEC never heard of them, which is true. They actually had some SEC broker number on their old site, which was obviously fake.
Now two days ago they claimed they would send me $250 (which was the amount I deposited into the account) by crypto currency as that's how I funded my account. I gave them my bitcoin wallet address, of course no money has showed up there. They have been silent since then, it is clear they aren't going to send me even that amount. They were going to do that, after I told them I had discovered their Bostrades.com website, which is identical in every way to their now suspended Tradelad.net site, except everywhere Tradelad was, Bostrades is, in place of Tradelad.
Anyway, I am quite sure they'll never send me any money, and I obviously am not going to send some woman in Houston, TX money by Western Union that I don't know. They are unwilling to give me her full address and phone number, so I could confirm that's who I was sending the money to, and if I didn't receive any money in return, contact the Houston police, since she is supposed to be their "receiving agent". I figured if I could talk to her on the phone and confirm that she is really who she says she is, at the address she said she was at, I might do it, although I still don't know that I want to gamble $828. They claimed they thought it would be easier for me if I sent the money to someone in the US, when I questioned them why they claim to be in London and they want me to send money to some woman in Houston, TX.
They have called me on the phone several times trying to explain things and get me to send them the money, however their explanations don't make any sense, and they have done nothing to convince me that sending them what they now call a "withdrawal fee" will result in them sending me any money in return. Every time they call the phone connection is really bad so it is hard to really understand what they are saying, and they don't want to talk via e-mail.
So that is my experience with Tradelad. I am sure I will never receive any money from my account. They really never answer questions I ask about all the things I discovered, and as they were never in New York, I doubt they are in London now. I have not tried calling the phone number on their website, and their calls to my cell phone keep showing up as "Unavailable" so I don't know where they are coming from. They claim they have to show their internet provider proof they have let me withdraw money from my account, and that's why i should trust that if I send them $828 they'll send me the money in my account. That of course doesn't make sense, if it was so urgent for them to get their website back up, they would send me the money without delay. This had me wondering why they weren't wanting to resolve it to get their website back up, until I discovered a few days ago, they had that Bostrades.com website which is identical in every way to the Tradelad.net website - except everywhere the word Tradelad was, Bostrades is instead. So they have that site up and running and obviously have no need for their Tradelad.net website.
It will be interesting if they come on here and defend themselves, although it looks like they were invited in the past to do so and did not. They seem to not want to put much in e-mails, and rather talk over the phone (through a bad phone connection) so they can't really be pinned down to anything, and they really dodge questions and just give unsatisfactory or very vague answers to them.
