Nearly Got Scam - Experience

Recently I've been so eager to learn how to trade better, so I was looking for a platform that can guide me or can give free lessons or coaching how to understand market movements and indicators. Since read and noise earnings are deteriorating, I felt so frustrated that my income streams badly affected plus the bear market situation.

I wanted to grab the opportunity on trading while the bear market is still on, so I can grow my coins before the bull run comes back. While browsing my Facebook I saw an ads about trading, free coaching and etc. I got lured because their platform trades different asset such as cryptocurrency, forex, commodities and stocks. I was excited thinking through them I can trade in different market. What makes me more excited is that they'll give some trade signal and at the same time they'll teach you the why they've given the signal by technical and fundamental analysis.

I've known the services they've offered because the “account manager” calls me. He interviewed me why I'm interested in trading, how long I've been trading, where did I found their ads and etc. I told the guy honestly that I've been trading crypto and I just want to learn more and also explore different market especially the forex trading because it's always volatile.

We talked via calls last Saturday, the so called account manager speaks very professional that really made me believe they're legit. Since we were really busy processing documents for my wedding, I told the guy to call me back on Monday (July 4) at 8:00 PM. He really did call me back and showed me the platform. I didn't know yet what was their broker name so I was not able to search it prior to his call again.

While we were discussing about the platform, he told me to download an app which is the Anydesk the app will let you open an account so the manager or coach can connect with your screen. Since he's teaching me about the platform. Then he let me go through Google chrome and type “oceanmarkets.org” so this was their broker name. They're trading in Meta Trader 4 & 5, I'm not so familiar with the platform since we didn't get through with our transaction.

While discussing, I asked if there's any registration fee and or any hidden fees they'll collect since they'll give me a coach or financial analyst on how to do my trades and the guy said they don't have those charges. They just want to help new trader to trade better since they're already earning some percentage on our winning trades, I felt so excited and even told myself “finally, found a platform to teach me on how to trade better” until I asked what's the minimum deposit, it's $500 and I was like “wow that was huge.”

While we're still discussing with my account manager, I asked if they have an access on my account since they can view my screen when it was connected with Anydesk app. The guy said, they can't access it, he also advised me to change my password after he'll teach me. He also told me earlier that withdrawals will not be an instant due to security purposes and banking day issues which I understand at the beginning.

After some discussion the guy forward me to a certain woman named Anne Chua he said she would be my coach. I didn't understand that when the account manager forward me to the coach will be the time that I'll have to process my deposit which is the $500 which is I find it skeptical.

Then I started searching “Is Oceanmarkets.org legit?” in Google while we are still on call, I found a review that is very alarming and made me turned off. The Anne Chua sense I am not interested to deposit $500 so she keeps pressuring me that it's the perfect time to deposit so we can start the coaching and trading since it's the beginning of the month. I told her that I can't focus on trades yet as I'm still processing for my upcoming wedding, she congratulated me. I was expecting she'll let me take my time but still she keeps persuading me that I should set up my account early so I can trade whenever I'm free.

We're discussing to transfer my crypto in Binance and make it a peso via Gcash. Then I found an alibi that my crypto went down which is BCH and that my $500 is only $400 as of the moment (while we're still talking). I thought she'll tell that it's fine, and just do deposit when I can complete the amount but I was wrong. She wants me to deposit it even if it's not $500 and we'll just do the trades when I can complete it to $500.. I asked the girl “If I'll deposit the $500 now, can I withdraw it anytime” and she replied “You can't withdraw it right away since we're following process, blah blah blah.” That's when I drop the call, they're horrible it's my money why won't they let me withdraw it anytime? That's bullshit.

After reading the reviews and comments of their broker when I search it here, I was relieved that I was not lured to deposit my money. Their reviews and users comments are awful. I can't tell them that I've searched and that they're a scam so I end up hanging up the call. I felt bad because I felt so unprofessional by hanging up the call while they're still on the line but that's the only way I can save myself from getting scammed.

Above is just one of those awful experience other users had on their platform. Some got zero balance in their account even if they didn't initiate withdraw yet.

They called me for four times using mobile number and landline, I just blocked their numbers to stop bothering me.

The guy still sends me an email, he doesn't understand that I already understand their schemes. I already told this guy I'm a blogger, yet he continues. So here it is now, I gotta blog my experience with their doubtful broker.

This is why DYOR (do your own research) is a must when you are engaging into something especially when it's about investment. Glad, I was able to search before it's too late.

To all who wants to trade with “Oceanmarkets.org” please do your own research properly, so you won't give your hard earned money to scammers. I can't even paste their links in here, LOL.

Only trade on trusted brokers, you can search legit brokers in Google. Some even got only $5 starting deposit. A legitimate broker does not force traders to deposit large amount and does not secretly hide the link of their website or platform because they want they're service to be maximize by many users.

Be vigilant, do your own research and trade safely!
