SCAM
SCAM, SCAM SCAM. I invested €250 with a promise that I have access to my money all the time, I will have access and also full control. I wanted to play the crypto currency myself, not have someone doing it for me. But then this was not the case and when I decided this platform is not for me, this is not what I want to do, I was told by my account manager Matt Toms that 'HE WILL NOT AUTHORIZE IT', to pay back my money and close my account. When I lost my temper with him, I was told I am not a very good client and I am wasting his time, then I was introduced to a new account manager Nikki, very polite and very clever. Lot's of stories. I decided to just ignore them, don't show any further interest BUT then suddenly my portfolio investment grew over a weekend to +€56000. What....... really, then I get this call, "Hey, did you see what happened over the weekend" Giving themselves a 'patt on the back' they have made me a lot of money. Then they wanted me to pay 10% tax on it. They will do you all sorts of favors, but it is not possible to pay the tax from the 'so called' profit and then pay the rest out to me. I have to pay all the tax in three days. And they ask all the time, if I have the money. Why do they want to know? What does my money in my private bank account have to do with them? I am told how hard they are working for me, and how much they are helping me. Then, I ask for the paperwork! What an insult to them...... Give me the required paperwork, it is not to much to ask, is it? After a long and very heated discussion, and my commitment that I will not send €6000 into cyberspace with out paper work, Nikki handed me over.... back to Matt Toms. He is irritated with me. Why? What did I do wrong? So, Matt promised me he will send me the paper work by Monday after the weekend. After a weekend, on the Monday afternoon, I was given on my laptop, yes, given..... a tax letter. Somehow they always want to connect to your computer through 'any desk' and if you ask why, what do they want to show me on my laptop?, then they get upset with you. Coming back to the tax letter, I think a 5 year old can do a better job of fabricating a forgery. I have only 3 days to pay the tax, or else the British government will procecute me. But please ask them, Mr. Tom and co., for a physical address, or a company registration number or a telephone number to verify that vertexfy actually exists and if the people I am talking too actually exist and work at this so called company. If you ask these questions, then you will are blamed for not reading properly the document they supplied, the one bogus tax document or they will want to know why don't you trust them, or you are just being stupid. Eventually, the account manager will connect to your computer again and then SHOW you on Google that they do exist 'vert 2004 limited' NOT VERTEXFY. But ask for an email, or a teams meeting to see who the person is that you are talking too and you will get all sorts of excuses. I called the number and the company I called connected me to the compliance manager. She had no idea who vertexfy is and will take the information to the authorities.
Now, this is the best part, getting threatened. They will auction off my account if I don'tpay the tax to them, and I will lose all the so called money. What they don't seem to get, is the money was never mine to begin with. Showing me a screen wirh a number on does not mean anything. Only when you have the money in your hands can you claim you have the money. But until then it is just a carrot. I just want my €250 back. That is all I want. If this investment was real, I would get all the related paperwork, and I would deal with a real person and not a scammer hiding behind a telephone line. I do wish they will steal from someone that will be in a position to take them down and hold them accountable. May the wheel turn and may my wish come true.
