I also fell for the Warren Bowie & Smith scam. I’m ashamed to say it.I’ve read the comments on this WikiFX page, and you really feel like an idiot for having believed them.It’s true: they have brutal training to make you believe that “they are your friends,” that they’re going to help you, and that they’re going to “advise” you. I understood way too late that their only goal is to take as much money from you as possible and put a thousand obstacles in your way when you request a withdrawal.In my case, there came a point when I told the “advisor” that we should make a small withdrawal so I could feel confident that the process was smooth and that my card actually registered the refund. And indeed, I first saw -$100 and then another -$800 hit my credit card statement, and I thought: “This really is real! Great! Let’s keep going.” Well, let me tell you… A few days later, a political event happened in the U.S. and the Orange Man decided to impose punitive tariffs on a large group of countries. The markets fell, and there was that so-called advisor calling me like crazy: saying the account was in danger, that we needed to inject more funds to withstand the drop, and that it was almost certain the situation would change in a few days or weeks. That as soon as the markets recovered…By the way, they made me open trades on commodities I knew nothing about, as well as on stocks and indices. There were quite a lot of open positions. One more thing. This is part of a message they NEVER answered:“Why the insistence on opening trades when the account has a comfortable margin level? And why do you ask me to open trades without having a clear picture? I made it clear from the beginning: ‘I can go slowly.’ I didn’t need to pay off my debts in one month. Now, on the contrary, you made me dive in headfirst and I’m even more in debt than before.I know that for WB my money is a grain of sand on a beach—insignificant—but for me it means another 7 or more years paying off credit card debt for having paid attention to you. I hope you remember when you used to call me and say: ‘Deposit a thousand!’ ‘Deposit two thousand. Don’t ask me, it’s good news. I’ll call you later and we’ll talk.’ Good news my ass. You NEVER had any intention of returning anything to me. Thieves, crooks, bastards.”
