Has anyone managed to get their money off a Forex Trading platform? I am trying to get my money back and just asking if anyone has been in this situation and what worked for them

You'd be best naming the company concerned - there will be a wide variety of experiences, from simple withdrawals of funds held in genuine platforms through to unsuccessful attempts to retrieve money sent to scam outfits. The tone of your message would perhaps suggest that you're closer to the latter end of the scale unfortunately....2

Hi.
I traded some GBP for some EUR forex at the Post Office and had the money within 20 minutes.Im A Budding Neil Woodford.3 -
Thanks for your replies - the company that has the most money is a company called Prime Holdings.co , they are not responding to my emails. Other companies are Gt-lot and CryptofundFx ltd. Also when I asked my bank to stop a couple of pending payments they said they couldn’t -so had to watch more money leave my account.0

Seems unlikely you will see any of your money again.1 -

It was a news article on bing - however big mistake. I need more advice if possible. So I have been in a phone discussion with the guy from Prime Holdings. He says as part of money laundering I need to put 1,500 in my account as a mirror transaction then my funds can be transferred. Does anyone know about the mirror transaction he is referring to - he says now we are out of brexit the government (uk) require this before the transaction can go ahead. I am suspicious. Can anyone help?0

Whatever you do please don't give them any more money. Sadly you'll need to accept that it's gone but at least you can avoid giving them more. They will be very plausible and give convincing sounding reasons but you will be throwing more money away if you give them another penny.
There is no mirror requirement under Brexit. It's just another ruse to extract money from you. Give them £1500 and they'll then need a processing fee or something else but you'll still have no money back.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.6 -
This has got to be a wind up!6

Thank you all. I know what to do now. Thanks for all the advice.2

Now that we know what these companies are, why not volunteer to waste a few hours of their time?
Who else is game?
