They are a scam, they are already on a government warning list in New Zealand. They have stolen your money, you will be getting plenty of calls in the future as well trying to get more money from you. Remember every single cold call you get about shares is a scam, no exceptions.

I'd recommend you do nothing of the sort. Even the 'genuine' companies will rip you off. There is no easy money, despite what you might have read. The chances of you making back your loss with another company is about zero. The most likely outcome is that you will add to your loss.
 
PB says is right because if finance firms don't steal your money illegally they'll try to skim it legally.

You're on your own, so start to learn the game yourself or it's odds on that you'll be taken advantage off whether you use the scummiest company or the bluest of bloods.

Plenty of books to start learning with, but it does take time.

What's the name of the company?
 
Bangkok

Which bank and country did you send the money to and was the bank account name the same name as the company's name, or was it completely different?
 
www.brococompany.com .been with them over 15months,no problem up till now, had some losses this year so wanted to get refund as i trade es now,anybody reading this becareful just when you think everthings ok
 
Contact their regulator, looks like it's in Mauritius.

As a lesson for the future try to properly research who you're doing business with and only deal with UK or US brokers who are regulated by those countries financial regulator. Common sense really.

There's never a problem with these brokers until you start making money or withdrawing funds. Their entire business is set up to take money from losing traders, they are probably not even passing your orders through to the market. They know almost every retail trader loses money trading forex so just take you trades and wait for them to stop out. Giving you profits or your initial deposit back is not part of the plan.

They are regulated in Cyprus or Mauritius for a reason, so that they can quickly disappear once things hot up.

I suggest you post this as a scam on forexpeacearmy.com they may be able to help you.
 
ITS ALREADY THERE PETE,THATS WHY I POSTED,not only me looks like alot of us hurts still live to fight another day alot more people worse off than we are got two arms legs .becareful out there fookers will get you;)

I think it would be useful to set up a thread listing all the Boiler Room Scams that are currently in operation.

What is a boiler room?

Basically, a room full of salesmen (con men really), who are unregulated, and will cold call you to try and tempt you to part with your money and invest in some "amazing" company which will make you a millionaire. The stocks are usually unlisted and therefore difficult to sell once you have bought them. In reality they are likely to be worthless.

They tend to target people who already own shares, and will get your phone number / contact details from lists that they have bought, including shareholder lists.

More often than not, they are based overseas.

Whatever, you should NEVER deal with them, and NEVER deal with anyone who cold calls you from a company who you have never dealt with before.

I hope that this thread will be used for people to list the names of the offending companies, in order to warn others.

To start with, here is a list of those already mentioned on other threads....

Portland Ventures

Elliott Price

Edward Tate

Capital Asset Commodities

Jefferson Holt Consulting

Please feel free to add any more.....
