Total scam - avoid at all costs
Update - I received a reply with a promise of my money back on writing this review. I will confirm in writing when the money reaches my account. As yet - nothing.

Please avoid this company at all costs. I should have listened to my instincts straight away, but I let myself be persuaded by pushy sales people who on reflection are following a script. Not only that, but my account manager, Teddy Bass (I'm sure it's not a coincidence that his name is very similar to a forex influencer, and that he's trying to pull the wool over people's eyes) laughed at me when I said I wanted my money back after sleeping on my decision to part with £160 initial down payment.
Red flags that I would encourage you to note when dealing with this company:
* obvious use of script - 3 people told me that I sounded 'young and energetic' and that my voice was much younger than my age.
* over attentive sales calls, they want you to part with your money, they call you immediately after you give your details on instagram/Facebook
* massive amounts of upsell - it's clear on reflection that they were going to drain my savings, and that I won't be seeing my money back. I could hear the dollar signs pinging in my account managers head as he persuaded me to part with my money
* fake reviews - they presented me with a website "Scam Brokers Review" which is clearly written by them as it has 2000 negative reviews of other brokers with really over the top language, and only one positive review, which is over the top excellent - theirs.
* disproportionate amount of time spent persuading you with upsell - if they really were big shot traders, would they spend an hour on the phone over two days to someone who was only planning to part with £160? Unless the real product they are mining is my bank account...
* Completely inappropriate language - Teddy was flirtatious initially, then argumentative when I tried to get my money back. He even had a 'how big is my c*ck' conversation with my husband when challenged - is this what you expect from a broker, or serious financial institution?
* follow up fears of scam - they have my documentation and I'm concerned about fraud there. They have also clearly sold my phone number as I'm getting loads of scam calls.
AVOID - AVOID - AVOID.
I don't think I'll see my money back. I'll let you know if I do. I'm just glad that I didn't waste any more of it, and I'd urge you not to waste your time or money here.
