I just can't believe FXCLUB (aka FOREX CLUB) is listed on the FF site as a PREFERRED broker!
This is my experience with this company.
I opened an account with them about 3 months ago and made a deposit of $100 via credit card to give it a try.
After making some profits, I asked to withdraw $100 and it was refunded to my CC account.
I managed to make some more profits (which is not a small feat since their dealing desk execution style can turn your profit into a loss in a jiffy), and made a withdrawal request for $145 via wire (their rule). This is where the "fun" started.
First they charged me the $5 admin fee and took the $145 out of my account but did not send the money. After one week, I sent an inquiry and was told the banking info I provided (ABA# for wire transfer) was no good. That's hogwash since I have used that info for years to get transfers from other parties without problems. So I insisted I have doublechecked with my bank and the info was valid. In the end, the guy who replied to my inquiries concurred he has called my bank and indeed the info I gave them was correct. So I thought everything has been sorted out and the money will get to my bank in a few days.
But NOOOO! After a week and still no sign of my dough, I fired off another email and guess what, they started repeating the same horsesh!t again, that my account info was no good! I sent back THEIR OWN MESSAGE stating they have verified the info themselves, so this time they told me to make another request for withdrawal! I told them how could I make a new request if the money has already been taken out of the account (though not sent), was that just a ploy to get my request rejected? They kept insisting I do it, so I made a new request (while mentioning it's a duplicate of the previous one) and BINGO! THE REQUEST WAS REJECTED FOR INSUFFICIENT FUNDS!
So if anyone is considering dealing with these clowns, you have been WARNED!
