Markets Bank 

Danger Alert! Markets Bank is a criminal organisation that will skilfully clean you out of your hard-earned savings. In my experience, I was robbed of $26,000 USD. They operate behind a fake 'virtual' business address in London, and will only communicate by WhatsApp. They don't use email. They will not return your money when requested.
Date of experience: 17 February 2023

This is a scam pure and simple. They ask for an initial 'investment' of £250 then will not return it. In theory it escalates in the bank to, in my case to be worth over £10,000 in six months, but they will not transfer any money and instead ask you to give them 18% fees first before any transfer. An 18% you will no doubt not see again.

I contacted Marketsbank after doing some personal research and at the time, there were positive comments about the organisation on trustpilot so I stupidly went ahead. The first person I spoke to was Rick Garcia, who called every day, sometimes twice a day via whatsapp to secure my money. He seemed very friendly and understanding of my concerns about handing over money so I handed over $15,000AUD. After a few weeks, I was given $1,500 as a part of my money made. So even more stupidly, I was encouraged to put more money in, another $15,000AUD. He made everything sound plausible and I have emails and Whatapp chat history with him telling me a % of my money would be safe. Then Bitcoin fell and then Rick told me to wait until it went back up. Since then I have had Max contact me and tell me I need to pay $15,000USD to liquidate my account. i have refused to give additional money and now have to suffer the losses. Then I had James contact me telling that Max didn’t know what he was talking about and if I pay $5,000USD in UK taxes, I can get my money back. But again I refused. I have contacted the support section and they have told me to follow the advise of my agent. Max has since contacted me telling that $5,000 that they don’t deal with tax and that I still have the pay $15,000 to liquefy the account. I know realise I was completely scammed!

This website is a scam

Do not under any circumstance send money to them, as you will never see them ever again. They are unregulated, not FCA approved, the address is most likely not real, the company may be based in England but it follows Hungarian law not English and it is not even set up as a trading company but as an advertising firm, everything screams suspicious. I am still waiting on a pending payment from a whole ass month ago, dont trust these people, they might be good at talking but its all a lie. If anyone has information that can be helpful so that I can give MORE information to the authorities, please send it to this instagram account: beloved_nature7

I started off small to test the waters, then i started getting call after call to discuss my options, I finally had a long chat and was asked to invest 50k Us and when i said i was not prepared to take suck a risk I was laughed at and harassed to a point that I asked to get my funds withdrawn. as of yet i still can not withdraw my funds and have provided all docs for verification but keep on seeing Doc's withdrawn. I also asked that no more trades are to be done on my account but again fell on deaf ears and as of today I'm down $200 so it looks like they are draining my account. i contacted there so called support team and am getting no where, these guys are cowboys and I advise anyone to stay clear. Response from Sean foster-
No one pushed you to do anything.
I have no manager as I'm the manager so you are welcome to take your money out.
You are more Like a Karen's type of person

Bunch of crooks, didn't see it coming at all.
All hope to get refund seems impossible without strickenseige.

Make no mistake about it. You will never get your money back from these scammers. They are expert at grooming victims and stealing every last cent you invest. Do not be fooled, as I was, by their professional-looking website. they are criminals.

Was great to start with invested £220 to start with and made small profits. Then started getting harassed to invest more money which did want to do so requested to close my account and withdraw my funds but having a nightmare with thar nobody is picking up the phones nor responding to my emails. They say funds will be returned within 16 working days but this has not happen.

This is a site that will only take money, not return. Once you start 'investing' with this company, you're shown how to 'take out' your money, simple and straightforward. Now try to take money out without your 'assistant' doing it for you. You can't. Your money is stuck. It's not a real investment. Work this out. If you invest $500 at the rate your 'assistant' increases each day would give you millions of dollars after the end of the experience. Why invest any more? Don't be fooled, once your money is in, it's theirs. Read all the genuine reviews, the positive ones are false, one review only and only for MarketsBank. Don't lose your money this way, set fire to it, at least it will keep you warm whilst it burns. This way gets you nothing. Happy to send supporting documentation if requested.

It is like a nightmare dealing with marketsbank. I opened an account with them and did a deposit with 250$. Now there is no way to get my money back. I placed many withdrawal and they cancelled all of them. I contacted my bank to try to get my money from this scammer.

I contacted duty case in no time and filed my case. Due to the amount of time that had passed, they explained that they couldn't retrieve all. I appreciate their honesty and transparency. I'm typing this because a mail just dropped in that I've been credited with $129,000. I'm on my way to the bank to sort some bills and pay off a chunk of the mortgage.

You would have to be insane to deal with this company they are the the most unprofessional company I have had dealings with. you cannot contact them they don't pay withdrawals. I promise you if you deal with them your money is gone you wont get it back the whole thing is a facade and I am going through my bank now to have my money returned. Please do not spend money with this company.

I saw their advertisement on Facebook and they were telling the start amount is 3000SEK. I gave my contact information and opened an account with minimum amount 250USD. I wanna first see what they can do. In approximately 3 days I got 2 calls telling me invest more money otherwise they would freeze my account. It seemed very suspicious to me because I didn’t know that I should feed them with new investments. I wanted to withdraw my money since I got worried about their attitude. Now it has been 2 days that they are not pending my documents and I can’t withdraw my money. Be careful they seem extremely suspicious. I’ll update this comment with more information.
Update nr1 - 25.08.2022
When I told them I wanna take my money back and you don’t have to invest my money they kept investing my money and the last amount they left in my account right now is 2.79 USD. Their agent called me today and told me I have lost money but the thing is that they made it this way. After last call I told them why they kept investing even though I said stop and pay back my money. The agent told me that they’d gonna check the communications. Finally I got my money back but this fight was tiring. Find some other trustworthy corporations.

I don’t know how to take out all money in my bank, is no body to help me
