I am glad you trust your instincts and will get out. Let us know how you get on.
Too many people see such things on social media and go and jump in without doing any research before hand.
Remember: If it looks to good to be true, its because you do not know all the information!2 -
It probably won't work but my approach would be to make them believe you are planning to put a big sum in, but you need to "test" how effectively and quickly withdrawals work first. Make them greedy...

That's exactly how I've approached it! I said I will put it more, but need to see I can withdraw ok first. So I'm being allowed to request £150 and will see if I can get that back at least.... apparently I can't withdraw more because we'll lose the profit we've made to date and tax etc. blah blah... so once I get my £150 back I'll feel better about requesting to close the account and see if I can get back the rest of my original deposit at least, but not holding my breath. Its not a big loss....but a good lesson learnedJohnjdc said:It probably won't work but my approach would be to make them believe you are planning to put a big sum in, but you need to "test" how effectively and quickly withdrawals work first.
