Straits (Imposter)

I invested $3,500 with Straits (Imposter) after seeing their professional-looking website. At first, everything seemed fine - they showed me impressive returns on my dashboard. But when I tried to withdraw, they kept making excuses. First it was "processing time," then "verification needed," then "you need to pay a tax fee first." I never got my money back. I have since reported them to Financial Markets Authority.

I found this company through a friend who recommended it. Before investing, I checked various regulatory databases and found that Straits (Imposter) has been flagged as an unauthorized entity. I informed my friend immediately. Please always verify with official sources - a quick search could save you thousands.

I joined Straits (Imposter) from a blog post comparing services and from the start, things felt off. The signup process collected far more personal information than necessary, the verification took unreasonably long, and when I finally got access, the platform was nothing like what was advertised.

My withdrawal from Straits (Imposter) was rejected three times for vague reasons. Each time they asked for more documents. When I finally provided everything, they said my account was under review. for over three years of being strung along.

My card was charged twice by Straits (Imposter) on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Straits (Imposter) then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.

Opened my account with Straits (Imposter) after a friend recommended them and regretted it within the first month. The platform crashed during a critical moment, I lost potential gains, and support basically told me it was not their problem. Absolutely unacceptable behavior.

I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Straits (Imposter). They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.

The so-called education at Straits (Imposter) is just marketing. Every webinar ends with a push to deposit more. The market analysis is generic and often wrong. If you want real education go elsewhere. I wasted since I retired last year thinking they would help me learn.
