Started trading with this broker since Jan 2025. When I wanted to withdraw profits in end of May 2025, they delayed by making me go round a wild goose chase. Told me that they have transferred to my bank [purposely insisted on transferring to my bank's intermediary bank account]. Then making me get an official letter from my bank stating not receiving the transfer in order for AvaTrade to do investigation on their end. After a month's back and forth with my bank and AvaTrade, I uncovered the truth: 1. AvaTrade never processed my withdrawal, it was still with them. 2. AvaTrade confused themselves when they made a typo error in the alleged "bank transfer statement" which never happened. 3. After I called out the error, they processed my request very quickly [within the next hour]. 4. After they have realized that they can't withhold my funds, they deducted my profits almost 80% by an excuse of "due to trading practices", and they have only "discovered" it when I insisted to withdraw fully to close my account. What a scam!
告诉我他们已经转入我的银行[故意坚持转入我银行的中间银行账户]。然后让我收到银行的一封正式信函,称没有收到转账,以便AvaTrade进行调查。
经过一个月的与我的银行和AvaTrade的反复,我发现了真相:
1. AvaTrade从未处理过我的提款,它仍然在他们手中。
2. AvaTrade在所谓的“银行转账对账单”中犯了一个拼写错误,但实际上从未发生过。
3.在我指出错误后,他们很快(在接下来的一个小时内)处理了我的请求。
4.当他们意识到不能扣留我的资金后,他们以“由于交易行为”为由扣除了我近80%的利润,直到我坚持全额提款以关闭我的账户时,他们才“发现”这一点。
多么骗局啊!
