Never trust them I kept getting scammed…

Never trust them I kept getting scammed weekly, with constantly changing timelines and no explanations, which made things worse. The lack of communication left me drained. Thankfully, Gɾҽყ OX HυႦʂ stepped in and helped me reclaim my assets.

Title: BRIGHT TRADE is a BRIGHT SHAM - Stole my $195.75 and Laughed All the Way to the Bank!
Do yourself a massive favor and run, don't walk, far away from Bright Trade. This company is nothing short of a predatory scam. They absolutely ripped me off for $195.75, and the experience has been a nightmare of frustration, lies, and empty promises.
I paid them $195.75 for [briefly and vaguely mention what they were supposed to provide, e.g., a service, a product, "access to something valuable," etc. - keep it general], and what did I get in return? Absolutely NOTHING of value. The product was defective, the service never materialized, or they simply took my money and vanished from communication (choose the most fitting/vague option).
This isn't just a case of poor customer service; this is outright theft. My $195.75 is gone, vanished into the ether of their unethical business practices. When I tried to get a refund or resolve the issue, I was met with [mention a frustrating tactic: stone-walling, endless transfers, ghosting emails, rude agents, etc.]. It became clear their only "bright trade" is trading your money for misery.
$195.75 is not an insignificant amount to me, and the fact that Bright Trade can just pocket it without delivering what was promised shows a complete lack of integrity. They're thieves hiding behind a flashy name.
Stay away! Avoid Bright Trade at all costs unless you enjoy being defrauded and treated like an ATM. You'll lose your money, and you'll regret ever trusting them.
NEVER AGAIN. I want my $195.75 back!

Is this a scam Brighter Trade

Hi, am from the UK and Approximately 6 years ago I invested £5000 with Brighter Trade, and at the time my investment seemed to be doing well. I decided to cash in my money as i was being constantly bombarded with phone calls asking me to reinvest more money. Somehow, I manage to get my money back but i still had a substantial amount of profit which they would not release back to me unless I reinvested another £3000.00, which I never did. Since then, over the past 3-4 years, I’ve been receiving multiple calls from Brighter trade or their associates pretending to be from other companies like Crypto.com asking for my ID as my crypto has been invested in Bitcoin. Am presuming this is all to do with my profit sat in an account which I have no access to. Today I received a call from a company KMJ Global Auditing Firm 150 Great Neck Road, Great Neck, NY, USA Person called Barry Hill Website Number +1 516-210-0326 I received a call from Barry Hill from this number +1 708-300-0937 asking me the same questions, they are also saying that I have 30 days before they terminate my account and I would lose all my money (Profit). Can someone help me in this matter as am not too sure whether this is a reputable company or scam.

Seemed like a good idea

Seemed like a good idea. The trade platform you see is artificial. Your money is not there, its gone!! Sometimes trust will bring you undone. If it seems to good to be true, It usually is. I look forward to global Policing.

Brighter Trade will ruin your life.

You will see from other reviews that this company is totally deceitful, dishonest and untrustworthy. I simply wanted to entrust my life savings to a safe investment with good returns, starting with the £250, their minimum. I was persuaded to "think Bigger" and invest more in their trading platform under 'very experienced fund managers, who dealt in millions'! When I agreed my investment increased slightly, then was lost. I invested more in their 'Recovery Account' - they promised to recover my losses, then lost everything, despite the fact I told them only to commit 50%. My life savings were gone and in a last attempt to recover my losses, at their insistence "Trust me, we'll get you back every penny!" I borrowed from my bank and they lost that. I never had a penny in return and had no alternative but bankruptcy, which is my present situation. Not only destroying my future, but that of my family also. With no recompense. I regard their activities criminally negligent and fund managers borderline psychopaths.

Investing with BrighterTrade or TDSCapital.

Only invested $250 with BrighterTrade, never got it back.
Went on to trade with TDSCapital, they too run the same as BrighterTrade, offer the Earth, good returns, ect, BUT as soon as you ask for any money back, silence, no response to e-mails, telephone numbers disconnected,
The amount lost was below what recovery Companies will work for, buyer beware.

I received a call supposedly from…

I received a call supposedly from Brighter Trade yesterday, saying that they had been order by a court to refund all monies. I stopped the caller short and told him I thought he was a scammer about to request my bank account details so that he could raid it. He became abusive and I hung up.

UNSCRUPULOUS TRADERS

i invested in brightertrade. Lost all my money within 3months. All started off well, lovely and friendly David Goldman. Everything he told me was a lie, could never withdraw any money, definitely a scam company. They are all a bunch of parasites living off the misery of others. I am destroyed & relying on my bank to recover my money $33500. Edward van leeuwin,the 5th so called a/c manager i spoke to lost all my profits & investment in 4 days, with his 95% solid trades amounting to some $68000. I tried many times to cancel my account and draw money to no avail. The so called liquid a/c was just another lie. I feel so stupid to have been taken in by them.

Never sign up to this broker

I only sign up to this broker because I was told I would have access to a automated trading software (The Calloway Software). I should of known it was a scam after their brokers keep fobbing me off when I ask them about the software. They kept on trying to sign me up for their gold & silver account (£10'000 & £5'000 requirement). When I told them I don't have that type of money their brokers just ignored me. After a while they didn't even bother replying back to my email when I inquire about the software. After a month I just got fed up with this company BS so I ask to withdraw my $500 deposit. They got nasty and charge me $99 for admin fee - even though I never use them to make any trades. They sent me a withdrawal forms in a PDF format stating they want a 'live signature' on it. when I ask them a few questions about the forms, each answers took days for a reply. These people are just petty and nasty. If you don't have the money to invest with them they just don't give a S*** about you. Stay away from this unregulated garbage of a broker. You're better investing your hard earn money with the better known regulated brokers.

Unregulated thieves!!

Unregulated thieves!!
Thy take your money and when you want it back they ask for more and more personal details.
I managed to get a refund only because they hadn’t traded my money and my credit card intervened

I was stupid to invest
Don’t be as stupid as me

THIEVES

THIEVES ! Not registraded ! THIEVES !
I lost 3250 euro. When you put money in your account or balance you have lost it. The button "Withdrawal"doesn't work.
When you have lost your first amount they let you know they want to help you to get your lost money back, ask you to put money again.
When you do that you also loose this money.
Note that they call you by phone to win your trust, act as if they're friends !
But: they just want to steal as much as much money of you.

Avoid at all Costs

Avoid at all Costs

I am sorry to here about everyone's stories about loosing money, I was lucky to retreive my money (I did not carry out any tranactions apart from deposting money). Although I didn't get to prove it was a scam it at all the signs to suggest it was. Agents were rude and aggressive however I proved them to be unknowledgable. I hounded them, with emails and phone calls and it took 7 days to get the money paid into my account.

I was scammed by these people

I was scammed by these people, the broker David miller if that’s his real name wasted my time and money. He was on the phone talking so much crap and when the crunch came he stopped replying to my emails, when I constantly complained to the company requesting to give me back my money no one answered. Then I had another hot shot calling thinking she’s top crap and that she doesn’t have much time to waste on the phone with me she wants to do this right the first time and get me back my money and much more. BUT..... I had to deposit my account $5000, I told her to go to hell and I will not trust her or anyone from her company. Jessica fisherman was her name apparently she’s from the recovery team pfffffft yeah right !!!!
