Scam

When I submitted a withdrawal

When I submitted a withdrawal request, the Vietnamese agent said, "The system detected financial transactions between your account and two relatives' accounts, making them 'linked risk accounts.' You must unlink those accounts and provide proof of unlinking, otherwise your withdrawal will fail review." Customer service also sent me a "linked account data report" with the following information: "Number of linked accounts: 2, high risk level." They threatened, "If you don't unlink within 10 days, your and your relatives' accounts will be frozen, and you won't be able to withdraw a penny of your principal!" I argued with them, and they said, "Either unlink or forgo the withdrawal; this is a platform data compliance requirement!" I asked to see the compliance terms, but they bluntly said, "These terms are internal documents and cannot be displayed publicly."

When I first submitted

When I first submitted my withdrawal request, the Vietnamese customer service representative told me, "Your funds need to be transferred back from an overseas server. Cross-border data transfer requires a dedicated channel. After paying the channel fee, your funds will be credited to your account within 24 hours." They also sent me a screenshot of a failed data transfer review, labeled "Channel permissions not activated," and threatened me, "If you don't pay within five days, your data will be frozen and you won't be able to withdraw your principal!" After waiting three days, the withdrawal status was still "under review." I contacted customer service, and they said, "The channel traffic is insufficient, and I need to pay another 20,000 to upgrade the channel level." That's when I realized it was a scam! I asked for a refund of the channel fee, but they bluntly said, "The fee has been used to activate channel permissions and is non-refundable."

Scam

Customer service used

Customer service used to send daily "data backtesting reports," claiming, "The platform backtested using the past five years' market data. This project has a 98% win rate, and even if you lose, there's 'loss compensation.'" They even sent a "backtested profit curve." But within two weeks, the project plummeted, and my 50,000 yuan investment was gone! I asked for "loss compensation," but customer service said, "The backtested data is historical data. The actual market fluctuates, so the compensation clause doesn't apply." I confronted them about their original promise of "compensation for market fluctuations," but they replied, "You misunderstood. Compensation only covers data errors, not market risks." I asked to see the original compensation clause, and they said, "The clause has been updated, and the old version is no longer valid." It's clearly a deliberate attempt to shift the blame!

Unable to Withdraw

I applied for withdrawal on 7/31, but not only was I unable to withdraw, but the remaining amount was also eliminated through unauthorized transactions.

After depositing $100,000 on 6/21, I started trading. There was no problem with withdrawing profits until I applied for a withdrawal on 7/31. When I called the relevant personnel, they kept making excuses. It wasn't until 9/23 that the trading department of CWG sent a letter saying that I had engaged in "irregular trading" without any evidence, and then they unreasonably removed the amount of $34,579.43 from my MT4 account. I have been trading forex margin for a long time, and this is the first time I have encountered a platform that can take away your funds with just an "irregular trading" accusation. Because it takes 8 weeks for the UK to process my complaint letter, I want to remind CWG's customers here to be extra careful with this platform. Be extremely cautious. PS: The photos I provided are screenshots from my own backend. I have blurred my name and information to avoid retaliation from the platform and have deleted all my other information.

Severe Slippage

CWG Markets is a "scam

CWG Markets is a "scam platform" that exploits Vietnamese traders. I traded there for five months, and my expectations went from high to zero, all due to the platform's outrageous slippage and unscrupulous tactics. On the 20th of last month, I placed a short order on the AUD/USD at 0.6580. The market was stable at the time, but after submitting the order, it was actually traded at 0.6624, a slippage of 44 points! Remember, compliant Vietnamese forex platforms typically experience slippage of no more than 8 points under similar market conditions. Even more devastating was that on the day the non-farm payroll data was released this month, I set a take-profit order on the USD/JPY at 140.20, expecting a profit of $1,200. Instead, it traded at 139.63, a slippage of 57 points. Not only did I not make any money, I ended up losing $800. I urge all Vietnamese traders to avoid platforms that exploit slippage and intimidate users.

This is an unreasonable and fraudulent brokerage

CWG MARKETS Is a Complete Scam! Absolutely Shameless—Stay Away! I want to share my personal experience with CWG MARKETS, a so-called “broker” that turned out to be nothing but a scam. What they did to me was beyond outrageous, and I hope my story warns others to stay far away from this trap! It all started in June 2024, when my account was suddenly frozen out of nowhere. No explanation, no warning—nothing. I reached out to my account manager and customer support multiple times, but all I got were vague answers and endless excuses. They kept dodging my questions and delaying any real solutions. It was so frustrating and made me feel completely helpless. But the worst was yet to come. By September 2024, CWG MARKETS had randomly deducted a massive $26,652 from my account! There was no reason, no notice—just outright theft. And if that wasn’t bad enough, they actually had the audacity to tell me to withdraw the remaining balance and leave the platform. Seriously?! They trea

Scam

Customer service used

Customer service used to send daily "data forecast member profit stories," saying, "Pay 6,000 yuan for a quarterly membership, receive three market data forecasts daily, and follow them for at least 25% monthly returns." They even posted screenshots of "users earning 20,000 yuan by following the forecasts." However, their first prediction told me to buy a certain product. I followed their lead and invested 50,000 yuan, only to see a 15% drop that same day, resulting in a 7,500 yuan loss! The next nine predictions either led to opposite trades or wildly off-target predictions, resulting in a total loss of 40,000 yuan! I confronted customer service, and they said, "The forecasts are based on historical data. The actual market fluctuates, and the losses are your own fault for not adjusting flexibly." I requested a refund and compensation, but they said, "Membership service is provided, and we are not responsible for losses."

Scam! A terrible platform that doesn't explain or communicate.

CWG MARKETS is an utterly fraudulent platform! Extremely shameless, everyone must be warned not to be deceived! Both my friend and I have had the same tragic experiences, and I am determined to fully expose the despicable actions of this fraudulent broker, CWG MARKETS, to warn everyone to stay away from this trap! The incident happened in June 2024 when my account was suddenly blocked without any explanation or warning, completely shut down unilaterally by the platform. I repeatedly contacted the account manager and customer service, but their responses were either evasive or maliciously delayed, giving no reasonable explanation at all. This attitude is simply mocking the victims, making people angry and helpless! What's even more unacceptable is that after months of waiting, instead of improving, the situation worsened dramatically! By September 2024, CWG MARKETS arbitrarily deducted 30,649 from my account—a blatant act of fraud! After taking my money, they even had the audacity to ask me to withdraw the remaining funds and leave the platform! What kind of logic is this? They are completely treating customers like sheep to be slaughtered, with no moral bottom line! I hope everyone takes this as a warning—do not be deceived again! If you have encountered similar situations, please bravely come forward and expose them. We must not allow such fraudulent platforms to continue their reckless behavior and harm more people!
