Everything started super well. I managed to make profitable trades, but since I only started with $200, they asked me for more capital to level up, promising countless benefits that I never received. They had me open trades that made me lose all my capital (without stop-loss even though I asked), and when I begged them for information, for a solution, for advice on which trades to close to avoid losing my money, they didn't reply. When they finally responded, they told me not to worry, that they would help me transition to a risk-free account to recover the capital and assign me a bonus to compensate any loss and make withdrawals, I made said deposit three weeks ago and they still haven't restructured my account. I ask for explanations and they don't give any. They keep dodging, I ask them to call me and they don't. I just had surgery and can't work, I need to pay my debts (credits and loans).

CBCX

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the broker "CBCX" (https://www.cbcx.com/) for failing to release capital, profits and rebates owed to my clients from Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia. I, operating under IB code 888303, registered an Introducing Broker (IB) account with CBCX on April 1, 2025. Prior to onboarding my clients, I submitted and disclosed our trading strategy to Mr. Henry Ooi Kheng Jin, the Malaysia-based account manager for CBCX. Mr. Henry consulted with CBCX’s top management in Taiwan—specifically Steven and Justin—who confirmed their approval and assured us there would be no issues regarding future withdrawals of capital, profits, or rebates. Based on their confirmation and assurances, I referred total 755 clients to CBCX from the aforementioned countries. Initially, operations proceeded smoothly. However, on April 25, 2025, my IB rebate account (888303) was suddenly suspended from processing withdrawals. Around the same time, my clients began experienc

Familiar recipe, familiar taste. On May 9th, they claimed that a hacking attack made it impossible to operate positions according to the established strategy, causing a forced liquidation. Then, on May 11th, they announced that the company is responsible and willing to take action, ready to activate a so-called insurance to bear compensation liability. Starting from June 10th, the compensation will be linear at a rate of 0.6%. In plain words, this is to fear large investors collectively alerting authorities. Those who have invested substantial funds should abandon any illusions and report it quickly. If they transfer the funds overseas, it will genuinely become a total loss.

QUOTEX

For the past 2 days, I've been contacting QUOTEX as they closed my account without reason or notice after I requested a withdrawal of 23,160 USD. I don't know what to do. It's a huge amount of money that I don't want stolen, but I only receive the same response. I would appreciate advice on what to do, as obviously I didn't do what they're accusing me of, or I would accept the consequences maturely. This only has one name and it's THEFT.

I set up my own agent to add points to my account, triple-checking whether the points were correctly added. After confirming they were, I made 30 trades and ended up with a floating profit of 200 USD. I deposited 1200 and attempted to withdraw 1000, but the platform refused. They deducted 1070 USD, claiming I was overpaid. Initially the platform promised to refund my principal but reneged on their promise. It's absolutely disgusting. If they can't refund the principal, at least I hope everyone opens their eyes and steers clear of this black platform!!! Account number 88810775.

Scam Case Part One: Towards the end of 2024, I met a female netizen, 'Chen Chen', on MonChats. Her photos and voice clips on the platform seemed authentic and she seemed engaged in cryptocurrency which made me let my guard down a bit against online scams. Eventually, we exchanged Line accounts to discuss about cryptocurrency. When Trump won the presidential election on 20th January 2025, Chen Chen had already predicted the Bitcoin price will surge over 100,000. She advised me to get some Bitcoin, so I gave it a shot by investing $1000 into Bitcoin which turned out be profitable! In gratitude, I bought her a dining gift coupon as a thank you through Line gift. This was when her real setup began. Initially, she denied the gift saying that she didn't do much and asked me to save my money. Later, she introduced me to the 'Onion Ring Cryptocurrency' community, hinting people in the group were very welcoming and loved sharing their investment strategies. Trusting her, I joined the group and started interacting with others. After a while, Chen Chen suggested me to buy EC platform's dual currency financing product during Bitcoin's downtrend. I thought about her advice and ended up financing from a bank. After calculating the possible returns on my loan investment in the dual currency product with her, I proceeded. Little did I knew, this was just the beginning of my nightmare. She then suggested me to sell my U.S. equity ETF on eToro, exchange for Bitcoin and use it to purchase the second dual financing product. Seeing a possible scam, I asked for an exchange of ID cards to assure I could find her if I was scammed. She was upset because I didn't trust her, but eventually exchanged her ID. Due to our past experiences, I believed her again. The third dual currency financing product was bought under an EC platform campaign offering 3% rebate. After comparing loan benefits from several banks, I chose to loan against my insurance policy from my university days and invested again. The fourth and fifth installments were similar, involving investment in EC's financial products to avail rebate benefits. But things started to go south in early May 2025 when someone contacted me saying they couldn't withdraw from EC. I thought he was joking until I tried to contact EC's customer service and the admins but got accused of being a scammer. At that point, I grew suspicious and when I tried to withdraw from EC, the service read but didn't reply. In total, I lost over a million new Taiwanese dollars. I'm just a regular guy, I lost my savings and incurred over a million dollars of debt. This incident was a lesson for me that you can't always trust your pals who joke and squabble with you. I hope my story can be a cautionary tale, trust your own judgment when investing, not others'. 'Chen Chen', if you're reading this, I want to say, I'm really disappointed. I remembered that we promised to have a BBQ together, but I never thought it would end up like this.

To the CXM Broker team, I continuously encounter the "Ghost Order" issue when using CFD Sniper Ai Robot (1-minute trade on MT5) with CXM. Even after reporting to support, the problem persists and I do not encounter this issue with other brokers (as attached). Managing the portfolio is important, but this technical issue directly affects trading. I hope CXM will seriously investigate and rectify this. Regards, Mr.Nirundornp.

Previously, they had a lot of promotion events to attract large amounts of funds, especially large ones. On May 9th, they announced that they were under a security attack, which caused the positions to liquidate as they could not execute the strategy. On May 11th, they announced that they would responsibly compensate customers linearly at a rate of 0.6% per day starting from June 10th. They're a typical scam company. In fact, they're trying to prevent customers from reporting them en masse and running away with the money. If you've invested more than $20,000, I suggest reporting them immediately to minimize losses. Once these scammers transfer the funds overseas, we'll truly be left with nothing.

I had a short order at 3345, set take profit at 3305. On Monday, there was a gap down to 3275, but the platform closed my position at 3327. This is outrageous. When it comes to stop loss, they always favor maximum loss.

I've never had problems with this broker before. I even made withdrawals of $60,000 without any issues. The last time I traded, I withdrew $23,160 with a deposit of $12,000. A day later, when I went to check the status of my withdrawal, my account was suspended. I'm afraid they might try to keep my money or the profits, which are rightfully mine. I kindly ask for help to resolve this issue and receive my money ($23,160), regardless of whether I can continue using the platform. Thank you.
