I have deposited a total of $15000 in VIPBINARY.com and lost it all! At first, I deposited $1000 just to try out Binary Options by myself! I was contacted by Andrew Fox who said he was my account manager and advised me that if I put $5000 more, the company will put $5000 (100%) of their own, called as a SECURE TRADE. This way, I could become a GOLD member and then he can help me with company's $5000 (as a secure trade) to trade advising me with what to trade and when to trade and when to get out with a large profit. If it becomes a losing trade, I don't lose; the company loses because it is a secure trade. I did deposit $5000. After few big trades($3000 to $4000 in each Trade), he lost that $5000! He said if I put another $5000, as a SECURE TRADE again, I would certainly double that and recover all losses! Foolishly, I did put another $5000! This time, he invested not just $5000 as a secure trade, but he invested $8000 out of my own money; and ended up losing them all! Another so called supervisor tried to entice me several times to do the very same thing with more deposits as a secure trade, all the while scolding Andrew that he was not qualified to trade like this way; but that's where I stopped. Now, I am left with $4400 in the account but that I cannot withdraw a cent, due to their policy (you have to read their policy: every dollar they lose, I have to make $15 profit to withdraw a single dollar, how am I going to make that profit?). Essentially, I lost all $15000. All this happened in a span of just two weeks in Oct. 2012!! In my nightmare, I learnt a sad lesson; but I don't want anyone else to repeat it, this is the purpose of this post!! Please stay away from VIPBinary and this type of scam artists!

  • I have experienced the same problems as you did. However, I received a call from the 'recoveries' department! Ha! Lost almost everything with Adam and then refused to deposit anymore money. Few weeks later got a call from Mark - same department but he said Adam was my Trader (not what he told me) and that he, Mark, would get my account back up to the $19,000 I had at one point. First trade was good. About a week later when I was home again, spoke with him and he told me to do 2 trades, one $4000 and one $3000 leaving me with just over $100. I told him I thought that was pretty risky but no - they were sure to win. Well - did they - of course not! I called later and spoke with him and he was so surprised - said he would talk to his bosses and see if he could get the money gack and get right back to me - never heard from him again. Will be calling him first thing Monday morning, but expect now that my money is really gone! Stay away from this company - all they do is take your money on the pretense they know what they are doing and it is my opinion they are not stock traders but any guy off the street wanting a job ripping people off. As you said - stay away from these scam artists as you will never win.

  • What a bummer! I feel for you guys. I trade stock and binary options full time for a living and I am so sick of seeing all the investing/trading scams out there so may I offer some advise?
    If you want to trade binary options successfully be sure to work with a broker that is regulated in your home country so you can have some recourse. For example, if you live in the USA, only deal with a broker regulated in the USA. Be very careful with any "bonus" offered. Read the fine print before accepting, they can require you to trade up to 40 times the bonus before you are allowed to make a withdrawal. Never use a trading "robot". They DO NOT work. You must learn to trade on your own. I use a simple method with a money management plan that I worked out after several years and it works great and its not that hard to do. You really can make $500 to $1000 a day (and more) if you know what you are doing.
    These people are snakes in the grass out to get your money. I'm so glad there are forums like this where folks can learn the truth.
