I have been scam by eztrader.com that if I deposit $2, 500.00 to my account. Eztraders will give me bonus of $1, 250. The total fund I have is $3, 750.00. One of their eztrader manager told me that I can withdraw the fund at any time after I made two weeks initial trade with them. After two weekstrade with eztraders.com, I lose $1, 000.00. I am still have about $2, 750.00. Now I try to withdraw the fund, but they not allow to draw the fund according to what they have said. One of the manager told me that I can not get out or make any withdraw until I have $37, 500.00 in my account. Now I can not withdraw the money and I lose all the my money in there. This is a lying and scamming to the general public. Please do not do business with eztraders. If you have any question, feel free to email me at anytime tome at: [protected]@yahoo.com. I will explain more to you. Thanks.

Hello y'all,
Everybody who has been tricked by EZTrader's (or initially OptioNavigator) dishonesty, please join us.
Together we stand up against this vicious Dragon! The first message here is from 2011, today it's October 20th so we can safely say that they have stolen huge amounts of money so far. Besides they "operate" all over the Globe! They're in business since 2008, so go figure.

Yesterday I found out they spend ONLY on domain names a staggering US$4, 872, 480 as of 2013!
That's also why you find so many FAKE sales sites/reviews/blogs/vids etc. etc. Those got me fooled as well, you are NOT alone in this and although we might kick ourselves we got scammed so brutally: THEY are the ones responsible and to blame for!
Their marketing strategies coped with a bunch of people out there to trick as many as they can, is a recipe for disaster. Besides all their system manipulations, bonus trick and other illegal practices.

Please send YOUR story, with proofs if you have too, to claimsEZT@gmail.com No matter where you live, together we claim OUR money back from these scammers. Plus I keep informing the public about them and will tackle them anywhere I can, PROMISED!

En garde!
DragonSlayer
PS don't be fooled either by people from their company showing up as "helpful" employers or in incognito even telling hallelujah-stories, only trying to shut down the complaints. But redeeming some victims will NOT to it EZTrader! Plain PR and damagecontrol! Start redeeming EVERYBODY! * Attachment 2 screenshots of proof they manipulate their system. OptioNavigator tool (theirs!) will place a PUT and CALL at the SAME time and see what they do with their own system at other pic.

EZTrader is a CySEC Licensed Broker, Your complaints stem from not reading about typical binary option broker complaints.
Read This Article
http://scambroker.com/complaints/

Then you will understand why 97% of complaints about licensed brokers are unfounded.

Hi Carl,
First of all, what do you mean by “You will not be given chance to read the T&C”? There are plenty of chances to read the T&C before doing anything with the platform. The fact that you chose not to read it, doesn't make EZTrader a scam. Second, our bonus policy is one the fairest in the binary options market. Look at other brokers – You have to trade with much more volume and they give you less time. Third, we have verify all the necessary documents in order to be in compliance with the regulation and the anti-money laundering laws.

When you ask for copies of the recorded conversations they contravene the freedom of information act and refuse to produce them. Make sure you complain to Cysec, they are supposed to govern them.
AVOID AVOID AVOID EZTRADER
This IS A SCAM!
This is what happened to me, please don’t fall or it. Put Eztrader
into a search engine and read the horror stories – there’s alot!
EZTrader Scam:
1. You will be taken in by advertisements and fake endorsements and choose to check out the service.
2. You will then be contacted by an EZTrader representative who will push their bonus option.
3. You will not be given chance to read their terms and conditions before making a deposit.
4. With the promise that you can “just give it a try” using the bonus, you begin to trade.
5. You will (probably, as i did) have a number of problems with the website and decide it’s not for you.
6. You will then ask to withdraw your remaining funds.
7. You will be told to prove your identity by emailing scanned documents/ID before withdrawing.
8. You will still not be able to withdraw and will now be asked to remove the bonus before you withdraw.
9. You attempt to withdraw the bonus but all communication breaks down, no replies to emails and no answer to phone calls.
10. They will stall until you’re over the 90 days.
11. Then empty your account of the bonus as well as your remaining funds.
12. They will then quote terms that you were not given time to read.
They have a number of clauses in their t&cs that allow them to steal your money!

Joined through a scam that option navigator on Eztrader. Do not leave this article in the hope to happen again twice the same victim reported that the contents of the video advertising option navigator in mind. We have been linked with the 14 eztrading Option navigator site as having a signal-to-noise in advertising openly trading bot crosswords are belong to Eztrader Option navigator. Toppling blow to 0 $ for all 13 results. An attempt was made to recover the remaining money will come in the next day to contact Eztrading strangely. "I'll give you a couple of times a day will siganls a huge bonus and deposit 24 times" asking for more money. Here is another of my snaps. But I care. I felt they continue to postpone postpone the withdrawal itself needs to be asking to withdraw my money manager has just lost all again in four trading with a minimum amount though.We chat interchangeable the manager in charge of six hours today. Time spent, money seemed too regrettably subscribe to this site and are not in any way look excellent work that I try to tie up my money.Eztrade? What Is the site. Twice, you should not access the site again and you should not join and easy to make money trading with the idea of. Option Navigator is a scam ad. Would be a fool gullible people like me. Really regret. I got the formula of withdrawal pending and chat to them for 6 hours. State, even though the removal of any bonus. 3-5 days back, but it is possible to withdraw or manager. The manual will take up the remaining money back two weeks more. What a funny thing. Losing time losing money.

Dear guys sorry about all this
but eztrader is a scam well organize company.
First they offer you bonus promise of training section
and are they are not even able to stick to this empty promise.
What it piss me off is that them platform is set to give you really
slide chance to win. When you wait and finally the share reach the top or the bottom price of the day and you try
put the trade in them platform will never aloud you to perform the transaction.
Say technical issue try again and will never go to happen until price go back down or go back up.
When they have high risk to loose they don't take the bet.
You can be knowledge of all the risk analyses you won't just don't work. You can only bet when they won't.
Now instead to talk let's go all together and file a class action against them and complain with all proper financial authority.
And check if we or them are right.
About have fund back in yours own bank account this is another story.
If you are smart enough don't have them system robe them all still they won't them all.
The twisted procedure they have in place will stop you.
Always new documents need it new fax to send new missing document to file and still no money.
Guys write to my email a.genchi@me.com and let's go together and do something more then complain.
Nothing wrong in loose money betting when this happen in fair condition. Thanks

Beginning of June I asked to close my account and to withdrew the EUR 1900 .
I spoke to Jordan Hunter from EZ told me that this will take about 5 days.
After several phone calls and a lot of emails I got EUR 500 on my card the beginning of July.
The remaining EUR 1400 is disappeared. If I call Jordan Hunter, who was an excellent pupil at media training. He only repeats and repeats one sentence " the financial department has to follow the regulations" . My questions "tell my about the regulations", answer "legal regulations". If I loose my temper has that will not help. If makes me furious. If you stole the EUR 1400, just say so, than I can decide what to do next.
Later I found two employees of EZTtraders on fora. Mr Rick Paterson and Mr Peter Jansen. The reacted immediately on my emails and were very helpful and friendly, but until now 11th august 2014 now no sign or answer from their financial department.
I suggest dear fellow victims that we should legal steps and put some financial journalists on the case.
What do you think.

I have just been cheated by this company out of £940. They have closed my account because i didnt make the wagering requirments. Before it closed i contacted the support who confirmed i had two days remaining but they closed the account that night. Therefore their mistake has cost me £940. If i had known i only had one day i would have carried out the required wagering that night.
Of course now no one will answer my calls or texts.

Hi all
I would like remind you the bonuses T&C:
"You may withdraw your balance at any time, however, if the trading volume required for meeting the bonus entitlement has not been reached then the bonus amount would be deducted from your account balance and the remaining available balance would be free to be withdrawn. Any profits generated when the bonus amount has been included in the trading balance, would be cancelled when you apply for a withdrawal." (http://www.eztrader.com/en/TermsAndConditions.aspx)

I think this will clarify the misunderstanding. If something is still isn't clear, please send me a mail: rick@eztrader.com

I got PROMISED it would be back in my account last week, and when I tried phoning this morning I got through to the same guy, Michael Anderson, who just hung up the phone after I complained about him! All I want is my money back! This is just a shambles company and I have now lost £200! Not one person is willing to help you! I am now posting a formal complaint to CySEC as this is unacceptable!

EzTrader Information

Company is Israeli owned and based located in Tel Aviv

All account manager names are fake, they operate against the cysec regulation, sales people will call after you register and are given resistance training to make you deposit by promising you the world, bonuses are a scam and way of holding your money within the company and even as a way of stealing your money which they defend as being part of their terms and conditions, if you try to withdraw they will stall you whilst looking for a way to deduct all the money from your account so you can not withdraw, they fix the prices so that the house always wins and disable trades under a guise of too many traders trading the option, if you are offered an experienced broker they will lose all of your money on purpose to force you to deposit more by saying it was a bad period in the market a lot of my traders lost, if you do not want to deposit money the senior brokers will ignore you and will provide excuses like im on the trading floor or on vacation when they are not they simply have no interest in you because they have milked you dry

If you want to be ripped off deposit money with them if you dont then stay far away from this company they lie cheat and steal from their customers and do so under a guise of regulation with CySec and the terms and conditions

Hi DumboMilionarie
EZTrader will never delay expiry times, this kind of manipulation is illegal. A few seconds delay of the quote we get from a third-party company can happen, but it's very rare and happens only with small assets. So 5 minutes delay? That's not possible.

I recently joined them and then saw the reviews a bit late but do recognize it as a scam. One thing I noticed about a trade which was supposed to stop at 8:00am would have given be a win but the time continued onto 8:05am to try and make it a loss fortunately it won. I see them delaying the finish of the trade and manipulating the trade price. Its obvious I will lose my money but I might as well continue until its gone. Does anyone have experience of when you lose your money with them trying to get you to invest more this would be interesting and how do we close out the account.

I have been waiting 6 days now for a withdrawal request to be processed. I have contacted EZT twice to enquire why it is taking so long, however, no reply on both occasions, and still no payment made to my card. Not really behaviour or service one would associate with a reputable company. I certainly would NOT recommend dealings with them what-so-ever. It may not be a scam but the way they treat you once they have your money suggests that it's running pretty close to one.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for reporting on this company.

I was about to deposit my hard earned savings but by an act of God, my bank stopped payment. They usually carry out all my transactions. Five minutes later, my bank calls(Automaton) to ask if I attempted such transaction as it triggered a fraud alert. I decided to investigate further and behold, I arrived here to read such horrendous stories.

I believe they are even re-paying deposits with other people's deposits. Checking NASDAQ today, they are:- http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/wgmi/

I will not be making any deposits and will provide a link to this site from the site I navigated to them from. They need to be shut down.

My sympathies to all who had to deal with such evil people. Thanks again.

Hi everyone
Thousands of traders has already made a smooth withdrawal at EZTrader with no problems. There is no reason you should be different. Please post your details here and I assure you we can solve everything. There is no real reason for EZTrader to delay the withdrawals since we are going to pay anyway and the delay only hurts the brand's name. Trust me, let’s work together.

We totally agree that EZ Trader is a scam. We still have not received a refund after repeated requests over five months. Since they are located outside the USA is anyone interested in a class action lawsuit against the individuals who have lied to us and stolen our money? like Michael Anderson, Chris Marlin, David Campbell, etc.? We are currently filing complaints with the BBB and the US Attorney General. We are also filing fraud reports with different online agencies and I am trying to contact the Cyprus Department of Commerce.
If you are interested, please contact me at FightBackEZT@gmail.com

EZTrader is absolute scam!

Don't open any accounts with them, you will never see your money again!

As other users said before, they are just trying to delay everything till you give up!

I work in the market research and tested EZTrader to report if it's consumer friendly. The result is the stories you can read on this Forum: pure SCAM!

I had the misfortune to deal with Michael Anderson - is this guy for real?. And David Parker just plain broke his promise to oversea my transactions personally.

Then your colleagues lie and say you cannot withdraw less than £100, and then tell me you can.
In my view you clearly operate a system to delay/defer withdrawals as long as possible. I'm going to let my CySec complaint run and see where it goes. I believe you are an unscrupulous lot and need reporting.

my name is anthony
i recently opened an account with this ###, i deposit 200$ and then the next day i receive a phone call at 6am in them morning when i was sleeping and then another one at 7am and another at 9am, i call them back at 10 and all they wanted is for me to deposit another 300$ and they will give me 250$ bonus so i accepted and they told me that i would get a free lesson, i never go that, i started doing good went up to around 900$. how is this scam? i will tell you how: for example i was betting all the time with dow jones, one time i placed a call bet of 100$ at 16300 and there was 50 seconds left and it was going up and up, it went to 16, 332 and i was suppose to get 175$ but instead i got 3$ in return and i lost a lot of money like that around 600$, this has happened to me a lot of times so i decided to call them and they told me that if you dont have snap pics of them and proof, we cant do nothing and the proof is already in the trading history, it tells you when i bought it and when it ended and he still said that doesnt mean nothing. And they have a huge delay or they play with the numbers. i will contact the white house and the governor of my state, i will contact the pentagon and the fbi and i already saw a lawyer and he wants to do a class action lawsuit. this company has to be close down. contact me if you want part of this at anthonydourra@gmail.com sorry for all the grammar mistakes

Well Rick there is another ANGRY CUSTOMER, I think you need to check EZTraders so called withdrawal policy. You constantly say that your company is reputable and ALL of the complaints must have some special reason that they occur. I say that you are right it is a special reason, your company is a ponzi scheme running a scam. I will continue to ask people to send me emails at ailsa11@yahoo.com. If we unite we can file a class action lawsuit and shut down these lying, thieving ###.

Please still send me your details to my mail: rick@eztrader.com so I can dig into it. We are trying to improve our company's services and support all the time and I want to know what went wrong in your case. Thanks.
