Strange scam
Definitely a scam.
We invested money 3 months ago, started making decent profits, tried to take money out and then our broker “Michael Kelly” turned weird on us saying we were scamming him.
We ended up receiving our initial investment out, minus any profits. We checked our account and they had put in dodgy investments to lose all of the remaining balance.
Look in to all the facts before Joining
I didn’t like the fact that I kept getting talked in to opening an account, then when I did open an account of 250 dollars, I was then shown how the system works. I didn’t fully trust this company with my money so I did not fully invest. The reason for this was because I was getting pushed to increase to $1000 then I was $2000 for a shorter term trial, then I was informed to take it long term it was going to cost me $5000, which I wasn’t prepared to risk or gamble to loose. I had account manager Lukas who took me step by step and did help me to understand all the concepts and how the system worked. On request of opining the account, I did get my full $250 returned to me and made a very small profit of $52 however only managed to get €30 back. I ended up doing this myself because when I had put €30 in to my Bitcoin wallet transferred this to £22 I then transferred this to PayPal and received it back that way.
However I would like to mention that my wallet was transferred to Lukas and then was transferred to financial department and then was sent a message saying the funds would be transferred back in to my account within the next day or so, more than a week later and I still did not receive this very small amount in to my credit card. So my conclusion is. I tested this company because I did not fully trust them.
I was disappointed by being informed after the deposit instead of before so I could make a “informed choice” if this was really for me, and if I could carry on.
Instead I was persuaded to continue and could have been fooled in to depositing a lot more. I didn’t do this I came out however noticed that they still have not closed my account which I am not happy about. Please do your research before joining and do not be hasty in your deposits unless you can afford to lose.

Unfortunately I made an enquiry with them. I then changed my mind and told them this both verbally and by email.
This means nothing to them, they constantly ring even threatening them with solicitors letter for harassment doesn't stop them.
Stay well clear.
I was curious about crypto trading and…
I was curious about crypto trading and opened an account 4th quarter of 2022 to find out more. Within minutes of opening the account I had a call from Starlight Capital which was pleasant. I made it clear from the start I wouldn't make the amount of investment they were asking as we were so close to Christmas, so would look at it in 2023. I kept getting calls call from different UK phone numbers but not their office, as I believe they are based in Greece/Cyprus, but no real explanation why the different numbers. I initially deposited $362.00 to get the account up and running, but soon after it was getting very pushy to invest per the scheme levels which were +£2k and above, but I had to remind them that I wasn't intending to invest higher amounts until the new year. Some days had passed then another call from a different person (I guess the initial person gave up!), but was more pushy for higher investment, quite arrogant to the point they said if you don't want to invest we should just part company, which I replied, okay lets just part ways, they then backtracked, which by then got my back up. Beginning of 2023 I was contacted by a third person who was more understanding but by then I had already made my mind up that I want nothing else to do with this company and was able to withdrawn what was left in the account, although £100 down. By the initial two persons (Ben & Anthony, I think) being so pushy, this just came across as some sort of pyramid scheme, so I would not recommend Starlight Capital io. I know people have different experiences but this was mine.
An initial interest turns into constant Harassment.
I was interested in this and had some chats - but when i looked closer into the structure of this company I decided not to proceed. Since then i have had around 3 to 4 calls per day - each person refusing to close my interest in this - even calling me back after i have hung up. If you want to be constantly harassed this seems to be the place to go. Just think, if its such a great company why on earth do they need to harass people into joining them.. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
