    Hello, Recently got into stocks back in Nov. I joined Webull as my mobile platform and feel like it’s a great place for knowledge. I since then bought about a half dozen OTC stocks. I know they are a gamble but a few are in the high percentage of gains.

    Can someone do me favor? Can someone that is more experienced with brokers look at this website. assetadvfx.com and tell me if it legit? I joined there “Novice” program with a fee of $600. For one week i was getting emails about profits being made with CFD trading. They claimed i earned 12k in profits but i need to pay a 20% commission fee and VAT fee so i can withdraw. I knew about the commission fees before i started but didn’t realize i had to pay upfront. My account manager guarantees me a successful withdraw and i can deposit again after the withdraw. After speaking to live support on the website they said i could sue if i didn’t get my withdraw. Seems scammy to me to ask for commission without getting profit first or take the fees out online before i withdraw. That would make more sense. They say they are regulated but couldn’t find them on FCA website.

    Thanks in advance and sorry for question but i need this answered.

    I dont even need to research anything to tell you this is a scam.

    $12k for what? And you need to pay $2000?

    Yes, your spidey senses were correct.

    I'm pretty sure brokers don't work like this. Waiting on the FCA to see if they are regulated. The website looks pretty legit. I did do some investigating and website is 1 month old, but the company has been around since 2000 lmao.. Also the website owner is keeping his Identity private. Also scam alert rated the website a 70%

    Can I start a brokerage where I take a flat 20% of all trades? Instead of the usual $4.99 buy/sell?

    Wow thanks for the info. I mean all the providence and web hosting is the same. I looked up the website on scamalert.com and they rated it a 70%. They also said the owners identify is private ans is also using name cheap as the domain.
