The fraud company has given no withdrawal anymore.
I had to pay high taxes before withdrawing. I gained 50,000 but the taxes totaled 15,000.
I have been withdrawing funds for four months, and have been saying to switch to a third-party payment platform, and have been rejecting the withdrawal
I am so stupid that they cheated me to deposit funds. When I wanna withdraw funds, they said the withdrawal process in Taiwan was so strict! In the end, I paid the margin and my account was frozen. This fraud called himself Yao Zhang!
I wanna withdraw funds. But the customer service said I hadn't invested.
Today, the authorization failed. It was possible to log in before, and the customer service information is not returned.
A friend introduced me IFS Markets and I deposited on it. At first I gained a lot but then I was unable to withdraw. I found it was a scam and I lost 142,000.
On March 26th, there was a 1000-pip slippage with IFS Markets , which hadn’t occurred in other platforms, leading to forced liquidation. Only by trading to a certain lot, can I get the compensation. But during the later trading process, I figured out that the compensation couldn’t be used for trading. Meanwhile, the margin portion was also fake, what I lost is my fund, leading to account liquidated again. Hope you take heed on it and avoid being cheated.(I made a loss of at least 100 thousand RMB)
Having traded in the platform, I couldn’t withdraw fund and profit both.
I do not know if I should believe what customer service said. I just hope that Taiwan platform can be restored and logged in regularly.
IFS Markets has been withdrawing money for a week. They send me an email saying that there is an abnormal transactions and have not answered anymore. MT4 can't be traded. No money has been given.
They induced me to deposited 2000$ last month 16th. I transferred money to a personnel account. After two hours, I saw my 2000$ balance on the website. They told me the platform is legit and regulated by ASIC. I traded as they asked. Later I found their spread for gold is 100$, and their people manipulated my account all the time. I tried to withdraw, but they told me it needs 15 days. When I came back from business trip and applied for a withdrawal again, I found I was blocked and my account was banned. Don’t get yourself fooled!
I cannot open IFS app since this afternoon. Has anybody encountered the same situation?
The attitude of Taiwan customer service is really poor. I already answered the message, but the customer service does not response to me for many days.
After I downloaded the APP and made a profit, the platform gave no access to withdrawal with the excuse of wrong bank information and asked me to deposited and to pay individual tax. Now the withdrawal is unavailable.
I want to withdraw 300,000 USD. It said that my account was blocked and ask me to deposit 300,000 USD. It promised to complete the withdrawal in August. I asked about taxes but it said there was no tax. Several days later, it told me to deposit 90,000 USD because of high tax and other reasons. The balance in my account totalled 1,400,000 USD. I received a message that I was suspected to launder money with foreign assets. My account was going to be blocked. My friend encountered the same situation as me. They refused to provide any certified information or take the responsibility. Please do not trust IFS Markets.
