Beware of Capital Whale and the scams they are operating I signed up in late 2022 and was given a personal senior account manager – Mark Hammond. I initially deposited £2000 to see how it would do. Since then, I have been called, harassed, and bullied into putting in further deposits, now totalling more than £17,000. If Mark had had his way, it would have been a great deal more. It has been extremely difficult to withdraw money from the account. It never goes through if I try to do it myself. It seems I need permission from the banker. Every time I ask, I have been met with promises and assurances from Mark which are never met Mark tells me that my investment of £17,000 has now grown to over £333,000. Wonderful if that were true!! But to withdraw this money I must repay a brokerage fee of £41,000. I am happy to repay this fee and have given permission by email on over 2 occasions for them to withdraw this fee from my account and to send me the rest. They flatly refuse to do this and want me to pay this money up front. I’m pretty certain that I will never see a penny again. I have never heard of a reputable company asking their clients to pay to get their money out. But this is not a reputable company. They have a different set of rules to everyone else which they fail to tell you about beforehand. Any attempt to clarify with customer services is met with total silence. When depositing into the account, they have taken me through a tortuous procedure through Revolut and Binance, thus ensuring the money can’t be traced, and that the client is left unprotected. Their demands were always extremely urgent which left me panicked and with no time to think. I stupidly gave in to further demands for investment to protect my initial investment. They are not registered with the FCA – leaving the client unprotected They are based in Cyprus – which has extremely lax financial laws. Mark has bullied me to such an extent that my health has plummeted. Don’t be fooled by them as I was!!! Masrk disliked ther review I had posted. He offered to send me my money if I removed all reviews. I removed them but not a word from them since, and no money has been sent.
