"### CASE RESOLVED ###\n\nI've posted the following note on the Forex Peace Army website: \n\nhttps:  www.forexpeacearmy.com community threads optionsxo.44271 \n\nHello,\nBack in November 2015, I was laid-off from work and received a severance package. Having a lump sum of money and wanting to invest it, a friend suggested investing into a binary trading company called OptionsXO. I did some research online to make sure they were legit and didn't find any negative information. My gut told me we should go with 24 Options trader instead but our friend talked us out of it. We started communicating with Peter Shaw, a senior broker with the company, first by email then on Skype. He seemed very knowledgeable and even used to work as a broker at HSBC.  Since his credentials were good, we agreed to wire him $20,000 USD to start with two guaranteed trades.  Unfortunately, the wire was delayed by a week by my bank because they too had some questions for the binary trader so we missed out on the guaranteed trades.  When the money finally arrived, Peter Shaw was able to guarantee us other trades which we did well, my account was now at $51,000.  At this point both Peter Shaw and the accounting department began to get pushy asking for another $50,000 in order to do another guaranteed trade but this time a big one that would move our account to VIP.  We refused becahuse we didn't have $50,000 and we told Peter Shaw that we were in no hurry to become rich.  We preferred to use the money we had in the account and work our way up slowly.  He pushed so much that my husband asked for all of the money sitting in the account.  Later, Peter Shaw convinced me to do another trade that could potentially move us up to $75,000 in order to qualify for the big one.  One of the trades did well but the other didn't so now we ended with $44,000 in the account.  I asked Peter Shaw to return ALL of the money and he agreed.  This is when the story turns ugly.  Several days later I Skyped Peter Shaw asking when we would be receiving the money but we received no answer until he was showing offline.  We began to call him and the Support Center too but the answer was always, Your broker will contact you, Your broker will contact you.  We even asked if we could speak to his manager or a different broker. Then all of a sudden someone was trading in my account!  Now my account was at $17,700!  We immediately requested a withdrawal but the withdrawal was cancelled with no message explaining why.  We continued to call and send messages until finally the answer was, Peter Shaw will be calling you shortly. I didn't wait for his phone call but sent him a message through Skype.  He responded but this time different, cold and calculating not like before chipper and asking for money.  He would only answer certain questions so I asked if we could have our original investment of $20,000 because just minutes before I checked the account and someone had been trading so the account was at $31,000.  Peter Shaw responded no, there wasn't that amount in the account.  I proceeded to check my account again and it was now at $6,000 then in a few minutes it was $1,046.  I asked Peter Shaw if my account was on automatic trading and he said no so then I asked if he was trading on my behalf and he responded yes. Peter Shaw's last comments were I could recuperate my money by trading but I was on my own now.  Pretty bad broker, ​Peter Shaw, to have taken $20,000 down to a measly $1,046!  Not to mention, what guarantees do I have if I continue to trade with them that my money will be returned since my withdrawal was cancelled??? This has SCAM written all over it and I will stop at nothing at getting my money back!!!"
