Lbinary
Complaint 327476 Details

I, unfortunately, joined Lbinary around the 1st of April. I deposited $500 and received a $500 "bonus". I was contacted a few days later by a man calling himself Leo Geldman, who told me that he was my "Broker" at Lbinary and that he had an investment opportunity that would give me a really big return in 21 day if I would invest just $2000. At first I didn't want to do it because I didn't want to lose that much money if the investment went bad, but he assured me that my $2000 was 100% protected and if the investment did go bad, I would NOT lose my $2000. He continued to tell me that the investment would mature in only 21 day and the payoff was going to be really huge for only a $2000 investment. Against my better judgment, and after getting his absolute assurance that I would get my $2000 back if the investment went bad, I reluctantly agreed to the investment. He withdrew the $2000 from my account and I never heard from him again. I continued to trade with the $500 and the "bonus" so that I could do the required 30 trades for the "bonus" to be mine and I would be able to withdraw my money, but around April 14, 2014 my internet was disconnected for a couple of weeks due problems I was having with my bank, so I had to change banks. Then as soon as my internet was reconnected my computer's Hard Drive crashed so I could not do anymore trades until I could get a new computer or have my HD replaced, but since my computer was already 5 years old and it would cost almost as much to have it fixed as it would to get a new, inexpensive computer, I got a new Laptop on eBay for less than I could have had my old computer fixed but it was around June 10, 2014 by the time I got the new computer. During that time I didn't have a computer I tried to contact Leo Geldman but the number I had for him kept giving me a recording that it could not be connected as dialed or it had been disconnected, etc. When was I finally able to log into my Lbinary account, it was the beginning of July, 2014, I discovered that my account had $3744. When I used the "Chat Box" on the site/platform to try to find out how I could contact Leo Geldman or anyone in the finance department so that I could give them my new bank information, and what I had to do to withdraw some of the money I had in my account, I was told that Leo Geldman could not be reached by phone and that the finance dept. did not call out from the office, but I had to email them to get a form to change my bank info. A few days after I submitted my bank info. I used the chat box again to see if they had received my information and what I needed to do to make a withdrawal and was told that they had received the info. and I needed to use the platform to make the withdrawal and it would take 5 to 7 business days to get my deposit into my bank account. After waiting for 9 business days and still no deposit I tried to find out why using the chat box and was told that they could not give me any information and to contact Leo Geldman or email [email protected]. I knew I was starting to get a run around because I could not reach Leo Geldman by phone and no one would respond to any of my emails so when I used the chat box to find out why no one would help me or reply to my emails and that I could not contact Leo Geldman by phone, I was told to use his Skype. When I finally got his Skype name and contacted him on Skype, he was very short and evasive with me, but told me that I had a bonus and could not make a withdrawal! When I told him that I was leaving the "bonus" amount in the account, he told me to call support and then ignored anything else I asked him on Skype. When I called Lbinary and told them who I was and what I wanted, I was connected with a Mr. George Levinski, the head of the finance department. I explained to him that I knew I had a "bonus" and that I was not trying to withdraw that amount but that I needed my money for other reasons right now and that all I was wanting was $3244. He then told me that I would need to leave $500 more in the account and that I could only withdraw $2744 and that it would be deposited into my account on Monday morning July 28, 2014. But there was no deposit so I waited until around 11:30am and called George Levinski to find out why but was told that he was on the phone and would call me right back. I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes and called back and finally got him on the phone, then he started arguing with me telling me that I was trying to withdraw the "bonus" and was trying to take money that didn't belong to me. When I tried to tell him that I did exactly what he told me to do during our phone conversation on Thursday July 24, 2014 and that was to submit a withdrawal for $2744, leaving $500 plus the $500 "bonus" in the account, the rest was just the profits I had made from an investment, but he said no, I could not have the profits and I could only withdraw $2500 and it would be approved tomorrow, July 29, 2014 and it would take a few days for the deposit, when I asked him when I would see the deposit in my account, he just said, "soon." and hung up. We'll see if I EVER get any of my money!!!

I am extremely PO'd at Lbinary and would advise ANYBODY and EVERYBODY to stay clear of these SCAM people!!!
