Has anyone tried this offer -

They're supposedly offering a free £50 to invest in shares. Sounds a bit too good to be true to me so I wondering if anyone has used TraderXP in the past? There are no contact details, T&C's etc on the page that opens so I don't want to hand over any details unless someone can vouch for them.

    As I said above it looks too good to be true but I found this on a freebie site which I always believed to fairly reliable (I can't for the life of me remember what it's called at the moment).

    I'm certainly not recommending that anyone gives it a go but I just wondered if there was anyone who had used this company in the past who could pass on their experience of dealing with them?

    They have only recently launched the site, by the looks of things, and according to their pr they are a private company based in the Virgin Islands.

    I'm always very wary of freebies from spread/options trading regardless of how established the site is, as the risk often outweighs the gains.
