Scam

Monto is demanding trading in order to scam.

The broker manager recommended trading AUDUSD (trade date 4th), US500 (trade date 18th), US30 (trade date 21st), NZDUSD (trade date 22nd), XAGUSD (trade date 23rd), AUDUSD (trade date 23rd), BRENT (trade date 29th), US500 (trade date 30th), XAUUSD (trade date 30th), USTEC (trade date 30th) and I followed the recommendation. However, I believed the manager's words that the market would rise after the US presidential election day (November 5th), so I did not close the positions and continued to wait. On October 30th, my balance was $13,035 with a credit of $10,000, but on October 31st, I was stopped out all at once. Currently, my balance is $0. During this time, I have deposited a total of $23,021 (₩33,663,703) based on the recommendations of the Mounto (broker) manager. I hope you can help me recover from the losses at least a little bit.

Unable to Withdraw

I am about to be scammed.

How much did I deposit? How much is it now? I started in July of this year. The entrance is from SmartNews. I started when I was interested in overseas investment. The first professional I met was Benjamin. The first deposit was made with a credit card, 250 dollars and 501 dollars. At first, I was making decent profits. But at some point, the withdrawals started to be decided by the other party. Also, I made cash transfers using BitFlyer, depositing 5000 dollars and 2001 dollars along the way. I have photos of all transactions, so I can prove it. I also left my phone number just in case. I also know the email address. Also, on November 9th, I deposited 281 dollars by credit card, 250 dollars times 7, which is 1750 dollars, and cash transfer. Now, the current balance should be 12,260 dollars and 60 cents. But for some reason, it's negative. I want to quickly recover the money I put in here. The current professional I'm dealing with is a person named Avi. I also have the ZOOM codes for both of them, so I can provide them. I'm afraid that if things continue like this, my balance will definitely be reduced to zero.

Exploited. Unfair and angry (fraud)

At first, the margin level was increased to make it seem profitable and induce investors to deposit more funds. At the same time, the broker executed trades on recommended stocks. However, shortly after, strangely, the margin level suddenly decreased, resulting in significant losses contrary to the expected profits from the recommended trades. This caused the entire account balance to be lost in an instant. It was falsely claimed that depositing more funds in the Silver account would prevent stop out when using AI3 level in the Gold account, but that was not the case. It was a lie to encourage more deposits. The broker, who is supposed to minimize investor losses and maximize profits, did not fulfill their duty. They requested additional deposits by mentioning the decrease in margin level but did not provide any explanation about the potential risks of losses to the investors. The trading account balance on September 19th was $36,296, but as of September 26th, the current account balance is $0, and the Total Profit is -$52,319.

Mounto Investment Platform is a scam

Investors lost all the investment funds they deposited on the Mounto Investment Platform, totaling $23,021 (equivalent to 33,663,703 KRW), in an instant on September 26th. The broker requested that investors deposit more funds, stating that if they invest more than their current trading account balance in the Silver account, they can upgrade to the Gold account and recover their losses. They also mentioned that using AI Level 3 can prevent stop-outs. In response to this request, on September 13th, the investor deposited an additional $7,771 as investment funds. The profits were gradually increasing until September 19th when the trading account balance was $36,296. However, after executing the broker-recommended positions as "sell" on September 19th and 20th, the margin level started to rapidly decline. As a result, the trades recommended by the broker resulted in significant losses instead of the expected profits, causing the investor to lose all their investment funds in an instant on September 26th. The current account balance as of September 26th is $0, down from $36,296 on September 19th, and the Total Profit is -$52,319.

Scam

Overseas FX Scam

This is a highly fraudulent site. Even if you are asked to make a deposit or offered very good conditions, please do not deposit. The person in charge will pretend to be making a profit, propose favorable conditions, and use mind control to make you feel like you will lose if you don't deposit. I regretted trusting the other party and making a deposit, and now I am burdened with a large amount of debt. It is the biggest regret of my life, and no matter what I do, I want the money to be returned. However, since the other party is a professional scammer, I have reported it to the police, but it seems that there will be no refund unless the culprit is caught. Even if there is a profit in this, you can only withdraw a very small amount of money. The other party only uses this to gain trust. I am fortunate if even one person is saved by reading my review. If you are being forced to make a deposit, and they mention 5000 credits, VIP, or elite, please firmly refuse and focus on withdrawing your money. I pray that you can recover even a little. If you ignore their calls, they will change your password without permission, and everything they do is fraudulent.

Don't fall for scams

The account manager requested investors to deposit more funds, claiming that they could recover losses. Trusting the account manager's words, the investor made additional deposits. However, after the investor made the additional deposits and followed the account manager's advice to execute trades, the initially profitable trades suddenly started to incur continuous losses, contrary to the expected profits. As a result, the investor suffered significant losses. The entire account balance disappeared in an instant, and the current account balance is $0.

This is an optimized fraud group.

On September 13th, after depositing an additional $7,771 as investment capital, the profit gradually increased. However, on September 19th, the trading account balance dropped from $36,296 to the broker-recommended positions that were traded as "sell" on September 19th and 20th. After the trade execution, the margin level started to rapidly decrease. The broker-recommended positions resulted in significant losses, contrary to the expected profits. To prevent further losses, on September 23rd, the margin level continued to decline to 138%. The investor urgently requested whether all trading positions should be liquidated. In response, the broker stated, "It would be good to allocate a bit more funds that can withstand the situation. Increase the margin level because the market won't stay like this for long. It will return to the planned state, so it's just a matter of time. If you deposit more investment capital to increase the margin level, it seems that you can sustain it for a longer period." However, the broker only mentioned that if additional funds were not deposited, it would be inevitable to incur losses due to insufficient funds. The investor requested assistance from the broker again to prevent losses, but there was no response. When the investor requested liquidation from the broker on September 23rd, if at least the positions were liquidated, it could have reduced significant losses. However, following the broker's advice to not liquidate the positions and to observe further, the investor suffered substantial losses and lost all investment capital. The broker, who is supposed to minimize the investor's losses while maximizing profits, did not fulfill their responsibility. In a blink of an eye, on September 26th, all investment capital disappeared. The trading account balance, which was $36,296 on September 19th, is now $0, and the Total Profit is -$52,319. These brokers are highly optimized scammers.

    何度も何度もですが、未だ4300ドル出金されていません。 あとは、それがあったからか。故意にマイナスにされています。 確実に4300ドルは、あります。 後の9000〜10100ドルの残っている分が引き出し不可能にする為かマイナス表示をされています。 変な支払い手数料も変わらずです。

    おかしいですね、先月の11月23日から出金リクエストにかけているのに。 勝手にマイナスにされた挙句に4300ドル出金リクエストを拒否されていました。 変な手数料も取られています。 完全なる詐欺ですね。電話に出なくなってからのマイナスなので4300ドル➕9000ドルもあるはずですので。 ビットコインの表記を見たら、完全に詐欺行為なのが明らかです。 解約したいからと出金リクエストしているのにこの行為です。 全て、取り戻せたらいいのですが。 4300ドル➕9000ドル。 今のところ、写真でもmauntoの情報とあるので。 提出可能です。 向こうの詐欺、変なマイナスなところも説明出来るくらい写真に納めてあります。 お金を早く取り戻したいです。
