Hi Abs1616,
Thanks for your reply. I've attached few documents as requested.
1) 'Corporate Fund Application form.pdf' - (available
here )
2) 'CV' of account manager 'Marc Eklund' (Marc Eklund - Performance Summary.pdf) - (available
here)
3) 'Withdrawal Form.pdf' - (available
here)
4) 'Discretionary Account Terms.pdf' - terms of the engagement when I signed up for their services last year.
5) Various screen shots of the website - after loging into my account.
Please note, within the first month of opening the account - to test the withdrawal process and to build confidence - I had requested a withdrawal of £1800 pounds which was honored.
Also it is worth nothing that currently the net profit in the account is higher than the investment I've made till date - maybe because they wanted to 'show me the money' to get all available money they can.
Hello Htckns,
I am terribly sorry for the delay in responding to your queries, but I have been trying to gather as much information about your "broker" before getting back to you. What I will tell you is something shocking...
The people behind our brokers are the SAME!!!!! (Your guess was indeed correct, but I needed to research carefully and ask my colleagues for their input). Evidence for that? Well, there's plenty:
1) Both companies (e.g. Tradesprime, isgxchange and several others) are operated by Black Parrot Limited, a company registered offshore (Marshall Islands) ==> Please pay very close attention to "Marshall Islands" sounds familiar? Because it on one of your screenshots.
The Marshall Islands are located right in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean and any company registered there will have no regulation and no government agency can control their activities. In other words, they are free to do whatever they wish with our hard-earned money and trades. It gets worse because Black Parrot was operating the brutal fraudulent broker Vortex Assets which thankfully got closed down (because it was placed onto a chargeback monitoring program - I will post a link below explaining this).
2) The statement "Your credit card will be charged ISGXCHANGE" - This sends alarm bells. Why? Because this is exactly what is mentioned on Tradesprime, but with a different name of course. If you look at many other regulated brokers they will not have such a statement because there is little need for it. The reason why this statement is there to make it difficult to get your money back. [I will need to explain this privately].
3) These criminals offer the same "commissions" to encourage you to get other people to sign up so they too can have their money stolen. Tradesprime offers precisely the same thing.
4) My colleagues have managed to breakthrough their online barriers (as they were using a specialised service to hide their locations. We have found this website is based in following countries:
a) Russia
b) Albania
c) Germany
d) Poland
e) Italy
f) Estonia
g) Spain
What do all these countries have in common? It's simple. They are exactly the same countries that are associated with Tradesprime and several "brokers" that are associated with this scam. Coincidence? It's doubtful.
5) I have contacted the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) about this broker and they told me that this "broker" is operating illegally and has been linked to the same IP address as Tradesprime and several other "brokers" or "investment scams and fraud".
My colleagues and I have found other pieces of information to prove that they linked under the same scam network. However, we have decided to keep them private for the time being while consider what course of action we should take.
So here's the list of fraudulent brokers that we need to be wary of:
1) Isgxchange
2) Tradesprime
3) Vortex Assets (closed down)
4) Umarkets
5) InvestMib
6) FxTrade777
7) DAX markets
Could you please tell me if the individual(s) you spoke to had either an Eastern European Accent or a Russian Accent? This is very important information for me. Do you have any telephone call recordings between you and these criminals?
Did these criminals ask you to sign an documents after you do a deposit to confirm it was you who authorised the transactions? If so, did you sign them? If you did receive them and have not yet sign them, then do NOT sign them
Signing them is like signing a death warrant. Sorry to be blunt, but I just cannot stress the importance of this.
Have you reported your case to:
1) The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
2) Action Fraud
3)
www.IC3.gov
4) Your bank?
Were all your deposits performed via debit/credit card?
I have attached some screenshots (some of it is in Italian unfortunately) to give you an idea of what my colleague is trying to do. The Consob is financial regulatory authority in Italy (so it is the Italian equivalent of FCA). The Consob has issued a severe warning, punishment and is required to cease all of its operations in Italy. The punishment is heavy fine (although I am not sure how much). We have been trying to progress further with the FCA however, they have not been very helpful. Mainly because of the lack of people reporting these criminals. Me and my colleagues can't achieve much unless others support us and our work. It is deeply disappointing that our threads have been largely ignored by the FPA (despite many of its users being scammed by the scam "brokers").
Please refer to the following links where I have posted substantial information about these criminals and it may be of use to you:

As we have experienced fraud by the same people, then the above links should hopefully be the of use to you. Especially, these criminals tend to operate in the same way 'on the inside'.
By the way, starting from the 18th June I will be very busy for around 3 - 4 months, so I am unlikely to be of assistance during that time. If you would like further assistance then please contact me before then and I will do what I can to help
Best of Luck
