If i were you mate i simply wouldn't drop it, someone tried something dodgy with me recently thinking i'd just forget about the 4 figure they had out of me, anyway after much chasing it looks like he may be sending the money back my way tomorrow, and if he doesn't then i'll just continue on my mission until i get it.

They only get away with it if you let them, and remember 99% of people will forget it and move on.

go to a lawyer, wrongful dismissle is illegal (in NZ anyway... i'm sure it is in other common law countries/countries with decent unions)

$15,000 is huge, worth paying $3000 (ish) lawyer (and perhaps forensic accountant if you need one) to get your money back

chase1 - You're just asking for it mate.

Gallant FX - 'Application under the Securities and Investment Business Act, 2010 currently pending with the BVI Financial Services Commission.'

FxPro - 'Regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).'

Do you ever think you're just dealing with the wrong sort of people? The sort of people who must be thinking, if they don't scam you, you're going to scam them. Why else would you both be doing business in the financial equivalents of dark alleys?

whats wrong with BVI or Cyprus?

Before I opened an account with my current broker, I went with Fxpro. I only placed one small trade with them before leaving (as I had subsequently read many bad reviews) and made £1.60 in profit, after their 2% fee for a debit card

So, I withdrew all funds BUT, they only refunded my initial deposit and kept my meagre profit!

What the hell does it say about a company that would screw a customer for £1.60

Im still bitter.

Tell us what government protection the consumer gets. Trading is difficult enough, as it is, without going abroad where one is, really, on his own. OP lost a couple of quid, but the idea is to make a lot of money. What if he had $10,000 and they had refused to pay up? What would he have done? The exercise is to avoid problems.

Careful Split, there's just too much common sense in your post.

I'm minded of this quote.

When a man with money meets a man with experience, pretty soon the man with experience will have the money and the man with the money will have had the experience!

mate there are good eggs and bad eggs everywhere in the world and the FSA isn't the only bastion of regulation (LOL) or champion of consumer rights.

there are very respectable firms in both Cyprus and BVI for two very good reasons

MORE SUN
LESS TAX

"trading is hard enough as it is" so dont pay more of your profits away that you have to!

 

[Splitlink]

Fair enough, but why go there? Less tax? That is the only reason that I can think of and that is not a reason for anyone except the wealthiest traders. They, the offshore companies have you on their turf, which is where they want you.

Fair enough, but why go there?

there's a flourishing dogging community there, i heard

Dogging in the British Virgin Islands? - sounds like a non-starter.
