Topic: SimpleFX.com SCAM ALERT! (Read 4087 times)

Account deleted, lost 80 000 USD. More here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/warning-simplefx-account-deleted-lost-80-000-usd-2470593

Some icos had audit and still turned out to be scammy, but it would lower the chances.

I agree with you. It can help to avoid scam projects. And do you know any companies that can do this? Thank you!

It seems to me that if all of the projects provided their external audit reports, then the scum would be much smaller.
It is a pity that this is still not so well developed among ICO projects...

BCH it's a big scam. Simplefx liquidity failure jut proves that point once again.

Simplefx is scam. i withdraw 0.45 btc yesterday. Simplefx canceled.(we have discovered a malfunction of our Liquidity Provider’s bridge function. In result of the malfunction, our BitcoinCash Liquidity Provider has not been able to fill our Clients’ orders since 11th November 08:55 UTC.

ohh i can see. it's seems you also lost a money there.
so you are not just a dumbass with fake arguments but a looser too.


Have been using their service for  8 months. so far, there have been no troubles. And deposit/withdrawals are instant in most cases which are wonderful.

I can assure that simplefx is a scam, it is not regulated by any European commission and I doubt that worldwide, an alert has been issued in the CMNV of Spain that is not a regulated broker.
I have not found the international mercantile registry of this company and they are protected in that they are regulated by the laws of san vicente and grenadines, fiscal paradise.
The service was quite bad, after the deposit they no longer contact you, nor by margin call or too much risk in the operations, they do not analyze the clients to recommend the most adapted products for each one.
Documentation only in English not adapted for understanding the local language where they offer their services.
In the conversations box, the conversations are not real and they eliminate the messages that are convenient for them to attract more clients.
Detect variations and manipulation of prices quite important between different brokers, being simplefx the one that had more variation, I lost almost 70 percent of my account after being manipulated the market, it is true that gold and silver are the most manipulated markets grobal for all these institutions.
For my part, with the proofs I am going to issue a complaint to this company because they have not listened to me. SIMPLEFX IS A GREAT SCAM, if you know someone who is inside or intends to invest their savings please advise them to stay out of doing business with this company. SIMPLEFX IS A SCAM, IS NOT REGISTERED IN ANY INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES COMMISSION AND HAS NO CONVENIENT COMMERCIAL REGISTRY TO OFFER ITS SERVICES BEYOND SAN VICENTE AND GRANADINA, IT IS A BAD TO LISTEN THAT PEOPLE LOSE THEIR MONEY FOR THIS TYPE OF COMPANY. IF SOMEONE HAS UNDERTAKEN LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST THEM PLEASE CONTACT ME.

By now, most litecoin volume does not occur on the OKCoin exchange used by SimpleFX for LTCUSD, not that liquidity is directly proportional to volume anyway.  When litecoin used to be at $3 million daily volume even just a month ago, a $200 million volume day for Litecoin is a sign of volatility, not stability.

Litecoin has not had time to consolidate on every exchange at its new price point yet, not that I would count on that happening on OKCoin anyway with all People's Bank of China uncertainties.

In this case, it looks like a whale deliberately dumped and tried to crash the price on OKCoin.  Of your plots, the only ones really relevant are your SimpleFX and OKCoin plots.  Other exchanges no doubt influenced the recovery indirectly but lack direct relevance to the momentary OKCoin downspike.

There does superficially seem to be deviation between your 5-minute-scale plot of OKCoin futures, versus your 5-minute-scale SimpleFX plot.  But it is hard to really conclude much.  I know, from other exchange plots unrelated to SimpleFX, sometimes a downspike appearing on a 1-minute plot is reduced on a 5-minute plot's display, and so on.  Not all plots are really perfect.

SimpleFX seems to sometimes lag the exchange it is based on by a few seconds, so some weirdness is quite possible.  It is not a deliberate scam at all necessarily, though.

Beyond that, I have been using SimpleFX since last year, on many markets, and there is no time for me when they have seemed to deliberately be unfair.  So I would be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt here.


You choose the size of your positions relative to the amount in your account.  Personally, I like the range of options available.   Yet I usually deliberately maintain less than maximum-leverage positions even on Bitcoin, and that has far more liquidity than any altcoin.

Just because you can take out up to 16.67:1 leverage doesn't mean you regularly should, outside of brief hyper-monitored trading as a limited portion of a diversified portfolio.

SimpleFX market manipulation is doubtful, judging from my own positive experience, but there is always market manipulation by deliberate whale dumps.  For instance, whales will not only do dumps but deliberately yank away giant buy walls just at the moment they are actually needed, potentially on any exchange.

JayT, We do apologize for the inconvenience and would like to ask for more patience. Please file official complaint on SimpleFX support section: https://simplefx.com/support/
In your complaint please include your trade ID and complete description of the issue. All complaints are responded to within 30 days. SimpleFX treats all customers equally, complaints are reviewed according to the date of submission.

Looks like MORE fake lies to me. SIMPLEFX price dropped from $12.60-$11.10 (-12.6%), a far cry from $14.00 - $12.91, which is shown on OKCOIN (-8% https://www.okcoin.com/future/market.do?symbol=1). The discrepancy is too high. Had it fallen only 8%, I would have been NO at risk of force liquidation.  The difference is a massive -76% BIGGER LOSS by SIMPLEFX on 16.6x. Care to explain? Because I see no correlation.  -76% bigger loss is night and day difference. Oh? is that what you're calling 'volatility? Your exchange gives it a little extra kick in the butt? TOO many large positions that you couldn't cover/didn't hedge, so needed to steal? WHY SUCH FALL? ONE CAN ONLY guess without any real answers. FAKE exchange numbers, FAKE answers too.

"^{Unfortunately trading is very risky, especially such volatile and low liquidity instruments"
"1. Civilized way to resolve such issue would be to file an official complaint and wait for a response}"

- LTC was doing ~$200,000,000 daily volume back then, nearly same as BTC. Not exactly 'low liquidity.
- No thx, I'll warn others of your fake exchange before I follow your definition of 'civility'.

Same timeline: 5 MINUTE CHART = NOT WHAT YOU ARE USING. Numbers don't match up. ~8% on this chart, vs your -12.6% NOTHING lines up.


Spare us your fake/generic answers, we can see the charts clearly - STOP LYING TO ME, I FEEL BAD ENOUGH YOU STOLE MY MONEY!

They use OK coin as providers.

This is the chart: https://www.okcoin.com/future/market.do?symbol=1

Edit: movement really happened on Ok coin

Hello,

First of all we are sorry that you took a significant loss on your trading activity. Unfortunately trading is very risky, especially such volatile and low liquidity instruments as crypto currencies.
At this point we would like to emphasize few facts:

1. Civilized way to resolve such issue would be to file an official complaint and wait for a response.
2. According to our Terms and Regulations, we have 30 days to refer to client's official complaint.
3. NONE of above screenshots present the chart from our LTC liquidity provider, which is clearly stated in Contracts Specification on our website

thanks for info

YES. I went to live SUPPORT chat, they said, crypto was volatile and risky. Wouldn't give explanation for drop, but did lie to me saying it happened on other exchanges too. That was going nowhere fast, so I emailed them, asking an explanation. NO response to my question, but did email me that I am BANNED from chat. They don't want me telling other ppl they are scammers.

I make a post on their service discussio for see what they have to say

Good (or badm damn really bad! ) to see. Have you contacted their support?
