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....

    Hi.
    I traded some GBP for some EUR forex at the Post Office and had the money within 20 minutes.

  • 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.

    well sounds like your money is gone, i hope you didn't give them much, and watch out for more scams, because they will have you on a sucker list. I am curious how did you find these companies? Was it from just a search of google?
    I would guess social media adverts... It's a disaster on those social media platforms.
  • 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? 
  • Thank you all. I know what to do now. Thanks for all the advice.
  • Now that we know what these companies are, why not volunteer to waste a few hours of their time?
    Who else is game?
