Crown Forex is out of business.
They were shut down by the goverment in Sweeden.
I received an email from someone telling me they where shut down and to contact them, which I did, but never heard another reply, after several weeks the platform would not connect.

Review Moderation Team Note: Switzerland, not Sweden. Please read the scam finding for information about how to contact Crown's liquidators.

The statement i copied below is the most false . I deposited money on the 23rd of Dec when FINMA was in control of the company. They will not return the money they are responsible for how could they be looking out for the interest of the investor.
Those who deposited money after dec 9 should file a class action lawsuit against FINMA for withholding our funds. How could a goverment logically not allow withdrawals yet allow deposits they will not return? Fishy?
" FINMA will conduct investigations to establish the facts and, if necessary, take measures to protect investors' interests. FINMA was in fact conducting an investigation to screen the activities of Crown Forex SA."

Dear Nancy

"""Dear Sir,

Our investigation is now finished and we are waiting for a decision of the FINNA being in force and hence enforceable, at he soonest at the end of March, in order to be able to inform CROWN FOREX SA's clients of the next step of the procedure.

For the time being and until a decision of the FINMA would not be in force and enforceable, we can not give you more information on this matter.

Keep in mind that all further relevant information will be posted on the web site of CROWN FOREX SA, either on the client area after login or on the home page, as soon as they can be disclosed.

Crownforex, a Swiss based forex broker, made many investors and traders lose money accidently and ignored their clients' withdrawal requests for months since Oct. last year.

I have used them less than 2 months till now but I have very sad experience with this broker. They reduced me $50.0 usd after I first made deposit into my real account and get some profits for no reason. They sent me a balance sheet and caculated my total ammount for wrong.

They NOT ONLY deleted my 7 benificial orders in trading and made me lose my big profits of USD 403.00, BUT ALSO ignored my 7 positions set previously, their platform didn't execute my orders at all which would have definitely got $322.0. It is to be known that the price 1.3390 I set as position close appeared in 20 minutes after my positions were opened and repeated many times.As a final result my orders were in 1500 USD floating loss.

They ignored my withdrawal requests time and time so that I lost my trade and also couldn't have withdrawed my money till now.
Mrs May Zhang, one CE of the company, has told me they would made my noney withdrawed by 8th Jan. when their account will acturally be open after the Swiss Federal Banking Commission decided whether the company would get an authorization. But when I sent my withdrawal request, I had been ignored till now and they gave another time limit of end Jan.

My suggestion is that Don't believe them and their promise. Their tactic is to get more fundings in and before they skip out, they can get money in as much as possible. I will continue to struggle
for my right and would like to hold all their clients' hands together who have been wounded by the company, in order to save our deposits.

I would like to ask whether Swiss is a financial security country, why FPA hasn't accounced any results about the investigtion and how they will resovle the problems that a broker without an banking license can be operate

Review Moderation Team Note: The FPA has warned against placing money with Crown Forex for several months. The FPA's Scam Investigations Committee is waiting for the results from the Swiss investigation into Crown before taking any further actions.
