SCAMMERS SCAMMERS SCAMMERS

SCAMMERS SCAMMERS SCAMMERS
They don't make payments! They keep postponing payments so that you can wait and hope.
They lure you with huge discounts, and in the end they just take away your money and time.
Trading is not an easy profession, and you can also fall for such scams. It's a pity that I fell for them.
DO NOT CONTACT THEM, THEY WILL NEVER PAY YOU THE MONEY.

SCAM. Withdrawal refusal 1188 $. THEY NOT PAYOUT TO ME

I passed 2 challenges, received 2 funded accounts of 50K each. Funded account 50K 1940078 04.11.2024, Funded account 50K 1940454 14.11.2024.
I requested the withdrawal of profits from both accounts of $1188.68 on December 2, 2024. StarterProp reschedules the payment date - 4 times, the first on December 9, second on December 19, third on January 5,2025, fourth on January 30,2025.
Instead of the promised leverage of 100 which is indicated on the site and at the moment of passing the Challenge I was given on the Funded accounts - 5 leverage, and 2 weeks later they made 1 leverage on both accounts. (0.1 lot on Gold).
Trading on both my accounts has been disabled since December 12, and StarterProp replied that trading was disabled until i get payout.
This company is the biggest SCAM and FRAUD !!!

BIGGEST SCAMMERS

Biggest scammers don't pay out. Wait 3 months for payout. Don't buy anything here guys. Wait also 6 months for the affiliate payouts. Check Trustpilot, everything negative. They are also registered at an address in Dubai, where all scammers were previously registered. And they block you by any negative comments or questions. I hope I can help some people before they buy here to not waste their money. NOW THEY BLOCK EVERYWHERE. I PRAY THAT YOU ALL WILL BE PUNISHED FOR STEALING MONEY

Reviwe based solely on facts

I rarely leave reviews, but in this case, I decided to share my experience with this company based solely on facts.

In October of this year, I started working with the company, investing $932 to purchase accounts with the goal of earning a profit. At the beginning of November, I received two funded accounts worth $10,000 each and earned $2,551.66 on one of them.

On November 27, I submitted a withdrawal request for $1,705.49, of which 50% of the profit was supposed to be mine. Three days later, the company responded, stating that the payout was scheduled for December 18. However, on December 17, one day before the promised date, I contacted the company to confirm whether the payment would be made on time. In response, they informed me that the payout was postponed to January 12, explaining that their financial manager had decided they had reached their monthly payment limit.

Earlier, on December 17, I requested a refund of some funds since I still had two active funded accounts and two purchased accounts. The company assured me that the refund would be processed within 2–3 business days.

Today marks the last of those promised refund days, yet I have not received any funds or updates regarding the status of the transfer.

Throughout this entire process, I have repeatedly contacted customer support, but their responses have been significantly delayed. The company consistently avoided giving direct answers, instead referring to internal processes or claiming a lack of specific information. Such behavior raises serious doubts about their reliability and professionalism.

I understand that delays can happen in any business, but when promises are not fulfilled, and explanations sound like excuses, it completely undermines trust and discourages any further collaboration with the company. With each passing day, I become more skeptical of their integrity.

For anyone considering working with this company, I strongly advise you to think carefully. My experience has shown that instead of the promised convenience and transparency, I encountered missed deadlines, unjustified delays, and poor communication.

I am disappointed because I wasted 3 months of my time.

Also those who receive payment from this company are not halal because they pay you from the funds of the traders they deceived

On December 20th I just received a letter about being late and also my refund will be processed within 2-3 days, perhaps on December 25th I will supplement my review

UPDATE: 27 decembder 2024. Today I received my refund only for funded accounts, I didn't get a refund for the purchased phase passes, so according to the terms this company is my debtor for $1,275.83

Scam! Scam!! SCAM!!!

I traded with this company for 2 months, 2 phases went through quickly, I waited for a funded account for about a week, then I earned 3% on my $10k account, I decided to withdraw this small profit on November 29, but they told me to wait until December 18 because that they allegedly ran out of money in the cash register. And today they said that they have already spent all the money planned for December this month and now they need to wait until January 12, on the website it was written, that they have payments every 14 days. And my friend was asked to give a good rating on trustpilot, only after that he was paid about $700. As a result, I have not been able to receive my $240 for almost a month, and probably in January they will say that they will pay in February. There is no need to deal with them, because they are not able to pay even a small amount (less than unemployment benefits), this is a scam. Company of scammers

scammers!!!

don't buy anything here! You will be delayed and prevented from getting paid all the time! and in the end you will be told that the planned reserve for the month is over and you will not be paid anything! At the same time, so that there is no negativity, they will remind you about NDA. Dirty, filthy, scammers! Two months of trading down the drain!

Please do not buy any account from this scammer company

I purchased a $50.000 account from starterprop on November 17, 2024. I passed the challenge and became a funded account account owner on November 27, 2024. When I got my account I saw that the leverage ratio was set to 1/1. I did not purchase this, I purchased 1/100 lavarage account. I mailed 48 times and they said that they will fix it on Monday, they promised. But they didnot.
Anyway, i started to trade, used 0,5 lot only and i grow up account to 51.045 dollars. Our agreement is %85 profit share and account fee. So they must pay me 1105 dollars. But they didnot. They said that, i need to wait one week to payout, i said ok and i waited…after one week, Today i asked for payout and they says that, i need to wait until january 5, 2025. Also, whenever I email them, they tell me that there is an agreement between us and if I tell anyone about my experience, they will close my account, they have threaten me.
They will not pay any payment to me, because they are scammers.. Please do not buy any account from them. They stole my money, at least they can't steal anyone else's money.
I will share all docs and evidence on their twitter page.

With my best regards.
Edit: I read your answer and i want to make a comment:
You have stollen my money, you have stollen my money, you have stollen my money.
Your servers are in the Netherlands, and I have filed a well-studied and excellent complaint with the Dutch police. Good morning, fraud is a crime all over the world. You say that your company is in the UAE. The necessary research has been done, you do not have a company there. Nevertheless, we have filed a complaint against you with the UAE Ministry of Trade. We have filed the necessary complaint with the IT department of the country I live in, I am working hard to have access to your site blocked in my country. I repeat, fraud is a crime all over the world. I hope you remember this when the police come to your home or office one morning.

last adit: I hope you remember these words when you go to jail for fraud.I hope you remember these words when you go to jail for fraud. I just feel sorry for your parents and your family. You will be arrested..
You will be arrested, and I will do everything in my power to get it, I will spend my last money, my last property.
Good luck teenagers...

If you succeed in the challenge, you will be penalized.

If you succeed in the challenge, they will lower your leverage. For example, you cannot even take a 1 lot EURUSD position with a 50k account. When you ask them about this, they will say excessive leverage on the demo account, if you ask how many lots of positions can I take at the same time, they will babble about market conditions and will not give you a clear answer. I would have been less upset if I had been scammed at the beginning, being scammed after passing the challenge is much worse.

SCAM

This company, more precisely "Starter Prop Trader", has twice refused to pay me my profits!

The first refusal:

I went through a 2 phase challenge with them on my strategy. They checked for more than 24 hours and gave me a funded account. I traded on the funded account using the same strategy I used in the challenge and made a profit of 10% in 4 days. There were 803 trades with an average duration of 1 minute. The company suspected me of using prohibited strategies, Expert Advisors or other programs and did not pay me my earnings. When I wrote to them that it is not so, I trade on my own, they wrote back to me: "We understand you. The problem is in Over Leverage." In the end they blocked my account with 10% profit (10 000$) and gave me a new Challenge, not even a funded account. I had to go through 2 stages of the challenge again.

Second rejection:

I passed the 2nd trial again. But, this time the number of trades was less and the average duration was 5-6 minutes. They checked my account for 4 days before giving me an account. In the end they wrote:
- "We have re-detected Over Leverage in your trading and reduced your leverage. Now you will not be able to violate our rule." -
And they gave me an account with a 1:1 leverage reduction. I had no choice but to trade. I kept working. Made an 8% profit. 2345 trades in 13 days, average duration 6 minutes. The company refunded me 279$, the cost of the call, instead of 6400$ and blocked my funded account. They accused me again, allegedly I repeatedly used prohibited strategies. I offered them as proof a video demonstration, where it will be seen that I trade by myself, open and close trades with the mouse and the monitor with my trading will be visible. They refused such a proof, they said that they made a final decision and my trading is not reproducible on the real market.

That's how we parted with this company on 03.11.2024.

Dear Azamat,

Firstly, there were no refusals and your fee was refunded because you used HFT that violated our clearly stated rules on the website, specifically Terms of Trading 6.2.2.

Details of the First Instance:
Over a span of four days, you executed 803 positions, trading 3,935 lots, with an average duration of just 9 seconds per position.
We issued a warning and provided you with a new account to rectify your actions, allowing you to continue trading under proper guidelines.

Details of the Second Instance:
You completed 3,231 trades with a total lot size of 2,346 lots over 13 days, averaging 259 positions per day and an average lot size of 357.
Your trading style remained unchanged, with bots operating continuously around the clock, which led to the same violations as before.
Despite our efforts to provide you with opportunities to correct your trading practices, these actions continued, forcing us to refund your fee and part ways.
We understand your disappointment, but we are committed to upholding the integrity of our platform and adhering to the rules that are clearly communicated to all traders. We wish you the best in your future trading endeavors.

Sincerely,
Starter Prop Trader Team
