On the evening of July 17th, around 11:20 PM, the account manager suddenly received a phone call, saying that the margin level was significantly decreasing. They urgently called to inform that if the situation continued, the invested assets (balance) could be completely lost. They suggested depositing an additional $5,000 to minimize the losses. However, when it was mentioned that there was no money to deposit, the account manager angrily hung up the phone. Afterwards, on the morning of July 18th around 6 AM, upon checking, it was discovered that the remaining account balance (assets) of $16,929 had been completely depleted within a few hours. The account balance was -$1,805, indicating a -132% ROI and a margin level of 23%. Regarding the $1,000 withdrawal request made on July 15th, there was a transaction record stating "low margin level," followed by a "withdrawal request denied." According to the account manager, they stated that "without the investor's permission, the account manager cannot execute trades as they please, so there is no need to worry." However, upon checking on July 18th, it was found that the "purchased foreign exchange and stocks were sold off and liquidated without the investor's permission, resulting in losses as per the account manager's discretion." The account manager mentioned that the investor should buy or sell foreign exchange and stocks through the Maunto Client Area. During the investor's trading process, from July 17th, there was always a section on the Maunto trading site that displayed "profits marked as negative (-) amounts," which was incomprehensible. When asked about this, the account manager replied that there were purchased foreign exchange and stocks, so there was no need to worry. However, since July 18th, when the account balance became -$1,805, the account manager has not made any further phone calls. In terms of stock trading, the losses were not 20% to 30%, but the account balance suddenly dropped to over -132% within a few hours. Even if the purchased foreign exchange and stocks incurred losses, the remaining available margin of $9,500 should have remained in the balance, but this amount has also disappeared.

At the request of the account manager, an account was opened on May 29 with $250, and as time went by, various products and information were provided, urging the investor not to miss this opportunity and continuously investing more deposits. The investor deposited a total of $15,250 in investment deposits in three installments until July 11, and then requested a withdrawal of $1,000 on July 15. At that time, the account balance was $16,929, and the remaining available margin after purchasing foreign exchange and stocks was $9,500. The manager said that the margin level was over 280%, so there was no need to worry. However, at around 11:20 PM on July 17, Korean time, the account manager suddenly called and said that he had to call urgently because the margin level was dropping significantly, and that if he left it like this, he could lose all of his invested assets (balance), so he could minimize the loss by depositing $5,000 more. When I told the account manager that I had money to deposit, he got angry and hung up the phone. When I checked around 6:00 AM on July 18th (Korean time), the total remaining account balance (asset) of $16,929 was completely depleted in a few hours, and the account balance was -$1,805, showing an ROI of -132% and a margin level of 23%. For the $1,000 withdrawal request on July 15th, a transaction record was left saying "Low margin level" and "Withdrawal approval denied." The account manager who used to call me every day without fail has not called me since July 18th when my account balance became -$1,805. In stock trading, losses are not 20% to 30%, but my account balance suddenly became a loss of over -132%. I just can't understand why the remaining margin of $9,500, which should have remained even if the foreign exchange and stocks I purchased were at a loss, has disappeared. My current account balance is -$2,405 and my margin level is 114.25%. What should I do?

The account was opened on May 29th with a deposit of $250, as requested by the account manager. As time went on, various products and information were provided, urging not to miss this opportunity and requesting continuous investment. The investor made three deposits totaling $15,250 until July 11th. Then, on July 15th, a withdrawal request of $1,000 was made. At that time, the account balance was $16,929, and after buying foreign exchange and stocks, the remaining available margin was $9,500. The account manager assured that there was no need to worry as the margin level was above 280%. However, on July 17th at 11:20 PM Korean time, the account manager suddenly called, saying that the margin level was significantly decreasing and urgently requested a deposit of $5,000 to prevent potential losses. When the investor explained that there was no money to deposit, the account manager expressed anger and abruptly ended the call. On July 18th at around 6 AM Korean time, upon checking, it was found that the remaining account balance (assets) of $16,929 had been depleted within a few hours. The account balance was -$1,805, indicating a ROI of -132% and a margin level of 23%. Regarding the $1,000 withdrawal request made on July 15th, there was a trading record stating "low margin level" and it was marked as "withdrawal request denied". The account manager, who had been calling every day, stopped contacting after the account balance became -$1,805 on July 18th. It is incomprehensible that the account balance, which was supposed to have remaining available margin of $9,500 even if the purchased foreign exchange and stocks incurred losses, had completely disappeared. Currently, the account balance is -$2,405, and the margin level is 114.25%. What should I do?

On May 29th, I opened an account and made three investment deposits totaling $15,250 at the request of the account manager until July 11th. As of July 17th, the total account balance (assets) was $16,929, and the remaining available amount for foreign exchange and stocks was $9,500. The account manager assured me that there was no need to worry because the margin level was above 280%. However, on July 17th, at around 11:20 PM Korean time, the account manager suddenly called and said that the margin level was dropping significantly. They urgently asked me to deposit an additional $5,000 to prevent potential losses. When I explained that I didn't have the money to deposit, the account manager became angry and abruptly hung up the phone. On July 18th, at around 6 AM Korean time, I checked my account balance and found that the previously remaining balance of $16,929 had suddenly become -$1,805. The account had a -132% ROI and a margin level of 23%. Within a few hours, the entire remaining account balance of $16,929 was depleted, and even the remaining available amount of $9,500 for foreign exchange and stocks disappeared. I had believed that I would make profits without incurring losses through these investments. However, as time went on, the account manager kept offering various products and information, urging me not to miss this opportunity and continuously requesting more investment deposits. Then, one day, the account balance suddenly plummeted to -132%, far beyond the expected 20% to 30% loss. Even the remaining available amount of $9,500 for foreign exchange and stocks vanished. Even if the purchased foreign exchange or stocks incurred losses, the remaining available amount of $9,500 should have remained as a balance. However, even that amount disappeared. I simply cannot understand this. I realized too late that these investment brokers and intermediaries were scammers. Please never follow their lead.

On May 29, 2024, I opened an account with $250. As soon as I opened the account, the account manager called me daily, mentioning stocks like NVIDIA (NVDA) and requesting investment deposits to make profits. They said that to make more profits, I needed to invest more, so I deposited $10,000 on July 4th. After depositing $10,000, I started making daily profits. To receive a discount on the transaction fee (swap), they said that if I deposited an additional $15,000, the transaction fee would be 100% exempt, and if I deposited $5,000, the transaction fee would be 50% off. So on July 11th, I deposited an additional $5,000. Then, on July 15th, I requested a withdrawal of $1,000. They assured me there was no need to worry because the margin level was above 280%. However, on July 17th at 11:20 PM Korean time, the account manager suddenly called and said that the margin level was dropping significantly, so they urgently called me and said that if I left it as it was, I could lose all the invested assets (balance). They suggested that I deposit an additional $5,000 to minimize the losses. When I said I didn't have the money to deposit, the account manager angrily hung up the phone. Then, on July 18th at 6 AM Korean time, I checked and found that the account balance, which was $16,929, suddenly became -$1,805. The account showed a -132% ROI and a margin level of 23%. Within a few hours, all the funds were depleted, and the withdrawal request for $1,000 made on July 15th was rejected for the reason of "low margin level." Since July 18th, when the account balance suddenly became -$1,805, the account manager has not contacted me at all, and within a few hours, all the funds disappeared without a trace. This is a scam.
