Scammers!! All scam be aware

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I've been scamed for 12500 euro from option500. I never got my money back or one dime of the profits of 82000 euro I made on these false platform. They are scammers with help from banks with fake bancaccounts. The Bulgarian American Credit Bank is one that gives these frauds even 3 bank accounts. Never engage with these people you Wil loose all you money and end in problems like me. Did report to the police but they could not help as the company not even exist. Own experience

Jun 4, 2020 - 1 Star They stole more than 12500 euro and disappeared, my so named account on their site was over 84000 euro, never got any penny of it, it ruined my life, they are thieves and scammers, don't put any money because you loose every bit of it and they are not ashamed to continue doing it, criminals ans ruining lives of people who work very hard to save some bit, they steel the last penny of your banc, go and work for it instead of steal g from poor people, Gail is good enough for them

Fraud

Invested £1000 and realised that my account manager just wanted more and more to be invested. Advised him no more money on the registered credit card and he basically told me to let him try to get some out of the bank (fraud). It took me countless e mails and 5 weeks to get most of my money back as their requirements to withdraw are so stringent, its ridiculous

Don’t touch this so called broker - stress you can do without - unlicensed and just cheap salesmen! AVOID

Initial indications of a scam

I invested €300 and decided to withdraw it on the following day. Option500 have demanded the following for verification of the Account:
1. A copy of my passport
2. A front and back copy of my credit card
3. Verification of my Name and Address.
They claim that they cannot make a refund of my money unless the is information is supplied.
This surely suggests a scam.

I have found a way to combat Option500.
A few weeks ago I went on this link (https://usa.visa.com/Forms/visa-rules.html) and I advise you to do the same. I filed a complaint with Visa against Option500 and described my whole case and why they are scammers. It is working right now as Visa is investigating and I will need more people filing complaints and chargeback dispute cases against Option500.

Sep 19, 2016 - 1 Star “Carl Ericsson” forcefully made losing trades on our account RIGHT AFTER we sent him 3 emails saying that he needs to STOP trading on the account behind our backs. He made unauthorized and fraudulent trades, ignoring withdrawal or account closure requests. He keeps saying that it would “affect the trades”. I have lost a total of $22,900 USD

Fooled by a FAKE CNN page, do not sign up with Bitcoin Mine.. it is Option500!

There is a FAKE CNN page floating around on the internet, allegedly announcing Bitcoin Mine, including a dodgy video, that allegedly is made by mr Sakatoshi Nakamoto himself. It talks a bout phase 2 of Nakamoto's great plan to wipe out the dollar and euro...

Just out of curiousity I signed up, with what I thought was Bitcoin Mine.. but in stead I got signed up with Option500!!.. Within 20 minutes I received a call from a sales person, and he want me to deposit immediately and this way activate my account.. I told him I wanted to investigate first before depositing and activating.. Well, my investigation was done in 5 minutes... This is the FAKE CNN page:

cnn.com-cat.tech/satoshi-nakamoto-launches-bitcoin-mine/

I tried to find the allegdl CNN article about Bitcoin Mine via the official CNN website... Nowhere to be found! and when I try to go to that same article again via the original link, I am redirected to money.cnn.com.. with no sliver of info or news about Bitcoin Mine... When I go to the root of the page (cnn.com-cat.tech) I get to the index page of a apache server.!!... owkee, this is enough to tell me... FAKE FAKE FAKE...

My strategy is very simple NEVER trust any company that fools you like this.. this is equivalent to lying and SCAMMING!

Removed my phone number and changed my address on the Option500 page, but there is no simple way to delete my account.. I sent them a hard message to delete my account and personal info, I hope they will listen and do that. Of course I will NEVER deposit, they lost me as a potential customer for ever!

I deposit 250eur to them to start trading with binary robot 365. After 16 hours they have not verified my account. I send mail to them without any answer.
