I had also a bad experience with them. I've lost 8.000€ that was on my balance and disappeared suddenly (in july 2012). I tried to contact them but no answer anymore. If there is one little chance to recover it. I'll take it ... Please keep me informed ! Thank you very much !
They use high pressure sales techniques. (So salled senior account manager, etc.).
They build a trust relationship with you using various people.
They build confidence by trading live via Skype using a so called trader allocated to you and even pay some small "profits" into your bank account. At the same time they pressure you to invest more and more all the time.
I suspect all trading accounts are fake live accounts.
They get your personal details and commit identity theft and credit card fraud. About € 3000 has been taken from my credit card in one day apart from the trading money invested and the "profits" in the trading account that are unaccessable.
Then they disappear from the radar. You get email responses that are standard with no action ever. You cannot withdraw any money. You get NO CONTACT ANYMORE.
All names are false. (James Don the trader on Skype; Rome Gianni). All their telephone numbers are untraceable .. registered to no person or company. James Don mentioned he has family in Israel. IP addresses from the emails traced to the following places: Mountain View in the US close to Santa Clara (James Don); the support emails come from the U.K. Zayo Group EU Limited; Rome Gianni's emails come from Israel Bezeq International Ltd.
The companies Aston Forex, Aston Markets and Aston Invest Ltd (registered in UK under numer 07913513) seems all linked. The director for Aston Invest is a guy named Lars Chriatian Beitnes (Norwegian) resident in the U.K. I have an address for the guy. He has a track record of folding companies. Aston Invest Ltd has a bank account in the Seychelles: Swift code BARCSCSC and account number 0381005860, address Independence Avenue P.O. Box 167 Victoria Mahe Seychelles. I got the information from Rome Gianni.
James Don still appears on Skype but for moments only.
is there any chance to get money back?
He said 2.000 € would be enough for them to start trading in my place.
They took too big positions and deducted extra money from my credit card to avoid having to cut the positions. They said they warned me by mail so it was OK. Not OK !
They promised they would trade the money I wired (even with a 30 day money guarantee !). In total there is 4.000 € of mine on that account. I must admit they did make a profit of about 3.300 € in a month (which was risky, but that turned out OK).
Since then (20/03/14) they have gone dead silent. I want my money back (and if possible my gains), but no one replies the phone or email.
Unless when you pretend to be a new client, then they call you pretty quickly. As soon as they hear that it 's to get my money, they say they 'll pass me on to my account responsable, which of course isn't there.
I am considering filing a complaint through Mastercard with whom the payments were made. Would that help and/or are there other ways ?

2014-05-21 1 Star Any usable info on AstonForex is also welcome with me ! I have invested 4.000 € in Fenbruary, they realized profits (which was, I have to admit, well done) of about 3.200 € in March.
Since end of March they have gone silent. I know they still exist though, because one of them called me after I faked to be a new client. As soon as they found out that I wanted to settle my account, they quickly abandoned by saying that they will ask my broker to call me asap. Of course nothing happened.
