The crazy thing is jizzyjay, I think even the FCA acknowledges some of the shortfalls if you read details of their consultations and rule changes etc - segregated accounts / client funds is actually an extremely complicated area, and the FCA are constantly trying to tweak their rules to improve things.

I totally agree that the marketing of segregated accounts as being some kind of magic bulletproof protection is wrong, and it should be made much clearer that fund recovery could take months or even years as part of a combined insolvency process and/or FSCS claims process.

I found this document about some of the exact client fund issues that arose in the Lehman case. Some really complex technical issues in there, if the firms book-keeping has been suboptimal. But also shows why its so important that KPMG ties up all the loose ends.

UK financial services?
Some guy just phoned me, i can give you the number here if anyone wants to know it. He was working for the "UK financial services". Apparently they got my contact info from Alpari somehow and he wanted me to open up an account of some sort. It seemed this "UK financial services" is some sort of organisation for several brokers, maybe, i dont really know whats the deal here. I couldnt really make out what he was saying very good because of sound in the background. Anyway he wanted to know how much money i had with Alpari and i didnt tell him of course, i dont talk about stuff like that with complete strangers.

He said something about legal aid and stuff to get my money back from Alpari and he said it was going to take 5 years to get the money back. I told him some people think 8 weeks, some think 6 months. But he stood his ground and said it was going to take 5 years. I might have heard that wrong because of the sound and of course he might be wrong.

He was going to send me information on my mail. Probably he wants me to send money somewhere. Otherwise, why bother? Thats what most strangers wants me to do when they call.

Well if they phoned me they are probably going to call you guys too. I havent decided what to make of it really. Anyway, i think its not smart to go spreading on the internet how much money you have in your account/accounts, and not on the phone either to strangers working for some kind of more or less unknown organisation.

Sounds like a scam mate. No such thing as the 'UK Financial Services'.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit

I would also say that it is a scam. There are a lot of people who are too lazy to earn money themselves. Phone numbers can be found by many people using search engines.

Well, if the servers are now perhaps turned off, then no login is possible. When you start the MT4, then go to the "Journal". For me there is a message that the server was not found. So the servers are shut down, I think.

Looks like you are being called from Hong Kong...

The number was most likely 'sold' by pissed off ex-Alpari employee
