Is this a Fraud?! Joined today and already thinking to leave!


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I am fuming. I Joined today to find out I was robbed of nearly  1/3 of my account by commissions on a couple of trades where I lost a few euros!

I deposited €300 today, see below what is left of €300 after €1.55 of loss?! 

Running profit / loss:
€-1.55
Funds:
€173.41   where is all the rest?!!   Are you actually joking that it all went into commissions?
 
I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
 
This is fraud and I will report it, and share my experience online on all platforms if I don't receive a refund ASAP!.

Thanks for your post. 

On a CFD/ Share dealing account you are charged commission for shares/ Proshares when you buy and sell.

If this was your first trades and you weren't aware I would advise you to reach out to our help desk to see what you can do. helpdesk.uk@ig.com. 

All the best

I had somewhat similar scenario but dormant account for a period for personal reasons. They kept imposing fees.

Help desk were not very helpful and each time new trainee replying my email, Promised some refund perhaps to shut the client off.

Refund never materialised after a promise. Given up and fed up. I would say they lack in ethics.

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
