Complaint Review: Forte Trade Limited

I joined Forte Trade Limited on November 27th with an initial investment of $100.00 in to their 2% Starter Plan.  This plan provides 2% every day for 5 days on investments from $100 to $10,000. This site was not too specific on what instruments it used for investing but alluded that they were using crypto currency to do so. I verified at the end of the 5 days that I had made $10 on my initial $100 to be a total of $110. I added more money periodically and by the end of 2020 and I had a balance of $748.00.

In January I decided to add more money with a total of $1205.31 for a total of $ 2548.94. On Feb 2, 2021 I decided to add an additional $ 496.00 for a total 3,349.43. My 5 day investment had ended so I decided to try to withdrawal my proceeds which were $249.00. On their website I initiated a withdrawal and received an email that acknowledged that I made a request for a withdrawal. The time frame given was from instant to up to 24 hours. This was requested on a Saturday so I thought it would be returned sometime on Sunday. I waited exactly 24 hours and did not see anything in my account. I contacted their support team via telegram to alert them about this delay and they stated that it was the weekend and that I should wait until Monday. Monday came and nothing. I reached out yet again and did not get any response.

Feb 12, 2021, I received a response from FORTETRADE LIMITED via Telegram and they said that there was a new policy that was implemented two days prior (Feb 10th) that stated that they were implementing a new "Management fee" that was 20% of the investment in order for them to return my investment.   I said that this does not make sense and stated that I requested my withdrawal before their policy and that the website did not even state this was a policy and how can they break the agreement we had. Have yet to receive those valid answers.

Some of the ways I have tried to get help with this is to notify my local attorney general and the local consumer protection bureau.  I also notified the FBI's IC3 unit and the SEC.  Be sure to stay away from these folks.
