Absolutely scam and fraudulent scheme

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Hello,
on August 12, I came across a Facebook ad for this trading site and decided to give it a try. I was forced to deposit $ 250 from my bank card to start a demo account, which I later realized was only for 2 weeks. During this period, everything was normal, but at the end of the second week they started to persuade me to deposit bigger amounts to start my annual account and earn more. Since I refused to do so, my account and account were blocked and now I can not refund my deposit. I wrote emails, chats, tried to contact them by phone, but no one answered. If necessary, I can send screenshots from my account in their system, with the deposited amount, profits, chats and other documents that I have from my correspondence with them. They usually wanted to communicate with me via viber, watsapp or the phone. And the biggest doubt in them came to me when I had to register a bitcoin wallet in order to work with investments in cryptocurrencies and there they sent me a forged document with my name for an invoice from a telephone operator (one of the requirements for registration of this wallet). I have never sent such a document to them, nor do I have such a telephone number. I hope to be able to recover at least the deposited amount and if possible more people and banking institutions to find out about this fraudulent scheme and block the deposit of amounts to them and their site ..
Best regards,
Nikolay Hristozov

Started trading at Optimarkets at Nov. 18, 2013 and deposited $200. On January 1, 2014 I requested my money. No response until November 2014, where Ryan Mclanahan (Senior account executive of Optimarkets) answered and told me, I could withdraw the money, if there are at leat $200 on the account. Thus I made sime successfull trades, until I reached the $200. This was a few days before November 20, 2014. Then the website was no longer available. I sent 3 e-mail to Optimarkets in 2 weeks. Bur no response.

Stay away from this Company. Will do anything to keep and get your funds. Refuse to pay profits. Change agreements as they like. Take funds from account without authority and many more

This company is clearly a scam as they have failed to return my deposits and would not respond to my calls, online chats or e-mail.

Optimarkets is a total scam. I tried to withdraw my $250, but they did their best to try to make me jump through hoops to get it. Even if I did everything they requested - it is obvious from the reviews here that they had no intentions of sending me my money. So what I did was I called my credit card company and told them about the scammers known as Optimarkets and how they wouldn't return my money. My credit card company was great because they refunded my $250 I had originally sent to Optimarkets.

If anyone reads the reviews here and still tries to do business with Optimarkets, then you must have a screw loose!

I have been attempting to get a WD from this Broker since 2-7-14 W/O any results. All docs have been presented and WD has been approved but no money to date.
US trader beware as they are not an honest Broker and if you investigate you will find many complaints.

I became a customer of Optimarkets on June of 2013. My Here are some of my stats data with Optimarkets: Trades with Volume: $63489, Profit: $2,716.50, Trades in total: 1057 I received no bonuses (I can prove it) and on October 27, 2013 I requested a withdrawal. A few days later was approved but nothing else happened since then. I have been ignored on more than a dozen emails. What do you suggest I could do next?

Thanks!
