Is this a Fraud?! Joined today and already thinking to leave!


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am fuming. I Joined today to find out I was robbed of nearly  1/3 of my account by commissions on a couple of trades where I lost a few euros!

I deposited €300 today, see below what is left of €300 after €1.55 of loss?! 

Running profit / loss:
€-1.55
Funds:
€173.41   where is all the rest?!!   Are you actually joking that it all went into commissions?
 
I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
 
This is fraud and I will report it, and share my experience online on all platforms if I don't receive a refund ASAP!.

Thanks for your post. 

On a CFD/ Share dealing account you are charged commission for shares/ Proshares when you buy and sell.

If this was your first trades and you weren't aware I would advise you to reach out to our help desk to see what you can do. helpdesk.uk@ig.com. 

All the best

I had somewhat similar scenario but dormant account for a period for personal reasons. They kept imposing fees.

Help desk were not very helpful and each time new trainee replying my email, Promised some refund perhaps to shut the client off.

Refund never materialised after a promise. Given up and fed up. I would say they lack in ethics.

    • The recent controversy surrounding Kucoin executives reignites the debate on the regulation of centralized exchanges. Many argue that without proper oversight, preventing fraud on these platforms becomes exceedingly difficult. While some may resist government intervention, the persistence of fraudulent activities prompts us to question how long we can turn a blind eye. Despite reservations about figures like Gary Gensler, it's crucial to recognize the potential benefits of regulatory bodies like the SEC. The specter of another FTX-like incident looms large, with potential market ramifications given Kucoin's size. The recent sentencing of SBF, the former FTX founder, to 25 years in prison, serves as a stark reminder of the necessity for regulatory action to ensure long-term transparency and accountability. While decentralized exchanges offer an alternative, they are not without their own risks. This underscores the case for comprehensive regulation. However, recent events, such as the Nigerian government's request for user data from Binance, raise legitimate concerns about user privacy and governmental overreach. Can exchanges operate without incident for decades? Can we build a future where users feel genuinely confident and secure in their transactions? These are pressing questions that demand thoughtful consideration as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of crypto exchanges.
    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
