Delta Capital Markets a con?

Hi I assume you are referring to the fact that why would a bank monitor an account base on hearsay from a non customer, and you are correct, I rang them again today and spoke to a different advisor who was much more frank in telling me he could not do anything without some involvement with the police. He did verify the account was with a Lloyds branch but that was it, and I knew that already.

I've also been conned by these people I've lost a lot of money they keep moving the date that I can withdraw the very little that is remaining and they are syphoning it off at a huge rate so there will be nothing left . I've reported them to action fraud but they are not governed by the FCA. I can't believe I've been so stupid with my money I'm gutted

There never was “anything remaining”. From the day you put your money in, it was lost.

Their website is "under construction", the support email address doesn't work and the contact number has been disconnected. Case closed!

As most of you have probably found out by now, the website is no longer working and the phones are unanswered. Looks like they have simply gone with the money - almost immediately after the new financial regs on binary ops came in. Recovery hopes are virtually non existent in my opinion.

Did you get anywhere with Action Fraud?
I logged with them and eventually they referred to the Police but I got a letter saying that there was no evidence to take this further. Company disappears with your money = no evidence? I will respond to the police.

I'm afraid the reality is only a tiny number of online scams are ever investigated, even those where the people involved can be traced (which is rare) and they operate from the UK (also rare). If enough people report one and there is evidence they are part of a prolific gang then they just might so it is worth reporting scams to allow them to build up a picture of what is going on, but not with the expectation of seeing any of your money again.

Sorry, but that's the harsh truth.
