Sorry 2gallus I didn’t mean to get your name wrong everything is so difficult now, I am feeling so shit . Now I have looked at your name again I get the meaning ..to gall us . I had thought of it as to (the)gallows. When I was writing my post I tried to scroll up to double check your name but couldn’t scroll far enough without losing my typing. My experience is similar to others in that I too was told in January that I couldn’t have a dividend as hadn’t requested one in time despite not being told that it had to be applied for . I was told to apply in plenty of time for the July one (I did) but on the 13th there were no profits although a few weeks previously it showed 100 000 profit. Originally the trades were just 2% of the balance but then increased to 25% hence massive “losses” I now know this whole thing is a con and have reported to our bank and the police. I wish I had seen this forum a year ago my life would be very different. If anyone here has any doubts please believe me when I say this is a very clever SCAM. Thank you for chatting to me J C
Again I don't know if this is all legitimate. I'm still 50/50 as it will cost me 850 GBP for them to start investigating. The 10k GBP I invested will then apparently be returned to my account. I will then need to pay the balance of the 25% owed to MCB. At the moment I just don't trust anyone.

To be honest, you've got it cheap.
I've been asked to pay almost 2.5k upfront fee (due to the nature of my payment) and then should I win, I'll need to owe them 20% on a 26k investmest.
As others have said it does look like a scam and they are just preying on the vulnerable. Having made one huge mistake I would not touch this company with a barge pole. Please learn by your previous experience and don’t make the situation worse for yourself.
I just wanted to say that I've been called by those scammers in February 2017 and after completing my own private investigation I have concluded that this is going to be a big scam where people will lose a lot of money. My current job title is Senior Cyber Security Specialist if you are wondering why I've done all this. So I've decided to contact Action Fraud Police and to provide them all the leads I've got at that time. And here is the answer:

Disappointing and frustrating. I am sorry for all of you that you lost money in this scam and remember no deal is worth the risk of getting scammed. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is
oh my god no, nobody use My Charge bAck to recover money from these crooks. my Charge back is another scam, a second tier scam, preying on those of you who've already been taken by another scam. They know you are desperate to get your money back.
No legitimate chargeback company will ask for a fee upfront, they will get paid when they recover your funds. DO NOT USE MY CHARGE BACK, PLEASE!
Thanks for the warning.
My problem is, most of the companies I've contacted have asked for such a fee?
Winchargeback usually do (although they said they couldn't deal with my case), Mychargeback do and as do Giambrone lawyers... they have all asked for an upfront fee?
Can you suggest any other legitimate chargeback companies that are good and that don't?
Also, like has been asked above, has anyone you know used them?
I honestly don't know an honest and trustworthy chargeback company, they are mostly second tier scams (put on by the same people and boiler rooms that caused all the Binary options scams) preying on all the people they scammed before. First they scam you outright with BO, then they say they can help you recover the money (for a fee).

y'all should turn the AFP on to this forum thread, lots of complaints, lots of reasons why they should start doing something (the problem is they have no jurisdiction outside of the UK).
Hi Idiot I first signed up in June last year. Already had an uneasy feeling. I deposited 2 0,000 initially and in July I got a600 pound pay out. Having researched on the internet the write ups of this company seemed legitimate. Now I realise the reviews are written by the scammers. I invested the rest of my money and missed the first January payment as I had not been informed of the deadline. My account appeared to be doing well but towards July 15 has plummeted and continues to do so. I now realise I am not going to get my dividend and that my account will continue t o lose. I have filed a complaint with action fraud. I want to join the group on whatsapp but don't know how to . Also spoke with Gallup on the phone today. Very kind person. No use burying our heads in the sand anymore. To anyone out there reading this ,don't be afraid to join in . The sooner you deal with this , the sooner we can get together ,even if we've lost money ,these people must be stopped.
Does anybody have access to their Account? I was blocked by CPT because of previous comments on this forum and was told to remove them before access would be allowed. This I done so that I could see what was going on. That was over 6 weeks ago and I still cannot get access even after numerous emails to the so called automated email service. Would be interesting to see if they are still trying to hook people into the scam.

dude, they want you to remove your comments so they can scam other people... this is a total scam! don't trust them.
Hi All, let's setup a whattsapp group, and hire a hacker who can find who these guys really are. Then we start acting against them personally. They deserve it. I don't beleive there's any way we will see our money back. We need to hit them personally. At least know who they are.
My bank rang me this morning to talk about the scam that I reported to them. They confirmed that the website is little more than a clever computer game and that the so called trades would have been fictious. The bank are aware that I have already reported the scam to the police but said that they also are going to report it. The bank have also suggested that everyone else who has reported this scam to their bank and the police also asks their bank to report it as well. I understand that it carries more weight if the bank make a report to the police rather than Joe Bloggs. Please can everybody consider doing this. The bank also said that the only way that it is even remotely possible to get any money back is through law enforcement not through other"companies" and to be wary of receiving phone calls from this type of company. My deposits were made a year ago so the bank said that there is little chance of them being traced but that if anybody had made more recent deposits then it may be a possibility. Hope this is helpful to someone.
Hi Idiot, I will be contacting my bank tomorrow. We really must group together in order to catch these scammers. I would advise anyone out there who has any doubts as to whether they've been scammed or not, to contact Action fraud.
Just been reading all the posts here. You can add me to the list of people scammed. My account is virtually down to zero. I started back in 2017 like most of us and I was looking at some investment opportunities. This lot called at a good moment and I could not find anything negative about them online and it all sounded very legitimate. All was going well until CPT joined the game ( although could not get any so called dividends paid out ) and it has gone south ever since. Obviously part of their plans. I have to admit it is a well thought out scam and there will be some very rich people out of this, but not us.
I am not quite sure what we can do as a group but would agree informing action fraud and banks is the first thing to do. Just have to swallow our pride, but it would be good to be able to track them down.
I have been scammed by Strategy Markets and CPT Trading Technologies to the sum of £17500. I am going to persue these individuals through initially the legal channels, ie Natwest and Santander. I will then be placing a large enough bounty on each individual following they’re witness of the demise of they’re families that we as honest and hard working individuals will re-balance the wrong that has been carried out. To name but a few: Kevin Kart, Aaron Goulding, Miles Peterson, Andrew Burroughs, Richard Parkston, Oliver Thomas, Jamie Stone, Stan Mathers and anyone else associated. I can not enforce enough the authoritarian extremities I will sustain on such individuals to satisfy the known and unknown parties who have been lied to, and suffered and will continue to suffer due to the greed and disloyalty of such low life, disillusioned, weak persons and associated meantime’s above.

wow, that's seriously aggressive. Let us know how it works out?
I have been scammed to the tune of £40K by them. Have reported to Action Fraud but at a loss as to what to do next and feel sick at the thought that everything I did to make my future slightly more secure has been jeopordised. I originally spoke to a broker called Charles. I still have the mobile number he gave me and whilst it goes to answer machine I wonder whether its traceable by a law enforcement agency... Any ideas anyone?
Hi all, Another victim of Strategy Markets/CPT scam here. Pretty much lost my entire investment with these bastards. My story is pretty much the same as everyone else here, so no point in repeating it. Hopefully one of us will have some success in getting back a portion of our investment and the rest of us can follow suit, unfortunately I have little hope at this point. If anything, hopefully this forum will help the next potential victims avoid losing their hard earned money.
Hi Tallulah and Bob55, Sorry to hear you have also been caught up in this. It is a bitter pill to swallow but need to accept our money has gone. Action fraud is a must as the more people that report this it will hopefully add weight to a full and proper investigation. I would also advise your banks. Mine has informed me that payments made direct from the account are treated as cash and so have no protection. Credit card payments may be different but it depends on when the deposits were made and all sorts of evidence and records are required for them to refer it but max potential refund is 10k. This has been a very well planned sting and at the moment I have no other answers on how to proceed.
People - relax, we always ban such spammers and we get hundreds of them during the day/night, they fill up the forums while we are away for a brief moment. Just avoid replying to them because once we delete them your posts don't make any sense. Also, never quote their messages because it includes their spam emails and scam links so that just adds to the moderators work. Thank you for understanding!
PS. You can always PM me or flag their posts if I missed any. Thanks again! I removed your replies to him since to new people it would not make any sense now that the spammer is banned.
Hi My experience is similar to most of yours. I was persuaded to put £20,000 into Strategy Markets and have now lost the lot. I think we should share things which might help the honourable powers that be and the police catch these people. First I spoke to a man saying he was a broker called Charles Stevens. I did what I thought was due diligence and looked up Charles Stevens on the FCA website. Stupidly it never occurred to me that he was someone impersonating Charles Stevens as I now believe. He and later Andrew Burrows phoned me frequently which helped lull me into a sense of security. Whenever he phoned I thought immediately it was the man claiming to be Charles Stevens. I now think they were the same man. How many people are involved in this scam. Once when I phoned them I spoke to a woman. Once I was put on to a senior partner who tried to persuade me to invest a further £60,000 which fortunately I did not do. I think the Senior partner might have been the same man. In the background was a general noise sounding like an office. It could have been a recording. So I think there may be just a man and woman involved. Where are they? They seem to be able to afford frequent long phone calls so I think they are most likely in the UK. They have made a big thing of moving to Switzerland. Andrew Burrows (so called) said he didn't like it - and made comments about it which didn't ring true - about the weather for instance. And he was still happy to phone fairly frequently. I don't think anyone moved to Switzerland. Any way if you have been scammed please tell the Action Fraud website and maybe the police will catch them.
Hi Richard - my experience is also similar. I was contacted by Strategy MKTS in Feb 17 and persuaded to invest 22,000. Also thought I had done due diligence. I was rung frequently by Andrew Burroughs for the first 9 months and not at all since then. My investment is now down to 7000. Tried to get a dividend in July following instructions from A Burroughs - nothing paid in. I am now in the process of contacting the Fraud Squad. I presume I will receive absolutely zero from my investment. I have learnt one thing - never take any notice of anyone contacting you by phone or email with investment advice that seems too good to be true!!!!!
I'm back with a different username as CPT were able to determine who I am based on my previous one. There is a private facebook group if you would like to move this conversation to somewhere CPT are not watching our plans develop. https://www.facebook.com/groups/203397710315465/
I got scammed by Strategy Markets sometime ago.I invested the sum of $70,000,made some profit of $40K,I then requested a withdrawal of $80K.My withdrawal wasn't granted for over 6 months.I then realised the company is a scam.I hired wealthchargeback dot com to recover all my funds from this scam company.I advise you stay away from this company.I even heard they have shut down operations.
