Does anyone know who this broker is by the telephone number?
A Google search does not bring anything up.

0203 8085833

Many brokers use callcenters to make phonecalls. The phonenumber you are searching for, is a callcenter which house brokers, research etc

Thanks for the information.

It just goes to show, your private information is not as safe as Brokers promise you.
The number I am being called on is a new number and I have only ever given it to one company.
So somebody is passing information on.

Shocking really, I am careful with the information I give out but when opening an account with a Broker you have to give certain information.

On another note, yesterday I ran Malwarebytes and it detected 2 Trojan files FX4 and ThinkForex setup.exe. Both of which are password stealers.
I have a demo with Thinkforex but nothing with FX4 so not sure where they came from.

I always use a 'clean' version of mt4, downloaded from mql4.com and then login with my account. I dont download mt4 versions from brokers.

This is why i never prefer to put correct number on any broker, it just kills me when they call unnecessarily and worst part is, it doesn't stop even if we mention we're not interested. It's at least better when we're talking about Forex companies, but believe me if your number is with Binary company then it's extremely frustrating!

Never had problems with the 'more serious' brokers & when you are trading a bigger account, you want the broker to have your phonenumber

Noted, thank-you.
I have been using MT4 since 2010 and was not aware I had another option.

Ya actually in that scenario it's great because we feel comfortable, but just those unwanted brokers troubling you is something frustrating. Once you're investing big then you obviously need to connect with broker in every way possible to be more secure and ease with things.
