Banxso Lies and False claims.
Hi Folks. I see the good Reviews on Banxso but if these are genuine reviews, how is it that I and three people I know would not give Banxso a single star if it was possible. All four of us were assigned at Success Manager named Danial Novak. Three of us lost all our money within days. Two of us lost R100 000 in just days because we were placed onto bad trades. The other person became so frustrated that he decided not to have anything more to do with Banxso, but he had to fight with Banxso to simply withdraw his funds. Anyone can write a dishonest review so that a company looks good so here are a few facts. 1. Banxso are under investigation. 2. Our Success Manager assigned to make our money grow, managed to lose every cent in a matter of days and then this Daniel Novak took no responsibility and actually told me it was a game. I have it on record. His solution to losing all my money was to tell me to invest another R212 000 with Banxso and another $17500. 3. I contacted Banxso and demanded a meeting with them. Mrs. Steyn, who lost R100 000 in just days after investing and I were at the meeting. We were met by two junior staff who could not answer a basic question. I asked what their margin percentage was and they could not answer. This is basic knowledge. So why does a company send two people into an important meeting when they do not know the basics? On Friday, around closing time I received a response from Banxso via their head or the legal department. No phone call. The letter is full of lies and false accusations and it blatantly accuses me of losing my own money. The letter states that the account manager's task is to only teach and guide me as an investor and I am told that it is my responsibility to watch my own account. This is not true but as it turns out, I was vigilant and I did keep my eyes on my account. The account manager should be doing this but I was doing his job and I warned him and voiced my concern that my account did not seem in a healthy state. On the day all my money was lost, I contacted him twice and he did nothing. I believe that Banxso do not want clients to make a profit because when I contacted my Account Manager, he insisted that my account was fine. Later that day every cent was gone. 4. There is a margin percentage and with Banxso it is very low at 30%. Be that as it may, it is there to protect 30% of your money. So if the markets go bad, you should only lose 70% of your funds and not 100%. Many trading companies have a 50, 70, 100% margin to protect the investors funds. 5. After my money was gone I decided to start investigating and asking questions and I will not stop. In response, Banxso began a slander campaign against me. Their Mr Novak went as far as trying to portray me as a dangerous person. 5. So after receiving a letter from their legal head which, was a joke as it was riddled with false information, my perfectly fine Banxso trading account was suddenly frozen while I had a trade open. This is not legal. I contacted their support team and was assured that it was a simple little problem and that an account manager world contact me. I waited and as I write this on Sunday, my account is still frozen and I am still waiting. You see, I kept my trading account alive because It makes it impossible for Banxso to ignore me because I am still their client. But I am certain that they are trying to shut my account down so that I am no longer a client and they can just ignore me. But it will simply make the situation worse. There is far more but I shall deal with that later. Community Trust in reviews

Update on BANXSO
As those following this saga with Banxso should have an idea as to what has taken place thus far. I will bullet point as to where we are now. 1. Although I have on multiple occasions asked to be placed in contact with the BANXSO CEO or a senior manager, I have thus far been ignored. 2. Yesterday two persons who endured exactly the same experience I had the displeasure of going though with BANXSO, contacted me and are sending their experiences to me in writing. 3. I was contacted by a gentleman who was about to invest with BANXSO. He thanked me for the information and he will not be risking his funds with BANXSO. 4. A reporter that has investigated BANXSO previously and written an article about this company is working on another news story concerning BANXSO. 5. I have discovered that although BANXSO are a South African company, all of there success managers are off-s****. It seems that most of them, if not all, are from Bulgaria. This raises the question of how these Bulgarians are able to deal correctly with Afrikaans speaking people and Black South Africans. 6. I am still a client with BANXSO and I have asked who my Success manager is, which is my right but I am still waiting to hear. I have also requested the information and qualifications of the Success Manager Daniel Novak. He was allocated to my account so I have the right to scrutinize the experience and qualifications of a person responsible for my funds. 7. I have contacted several respected fund management companies and BANXSO are regarded as potentially suspicious. 8. I have been informed that BANXSO have had to refund clients in the past due to bad practice.

Keep far away from Banxso.
Good day Concerning my dealings with Banxso, I am stating that they are not to be trusted. When investing money, you should always have full control of your funds, the investment entity has to establish your trading profile by asking you many questions. Once you have established your level of investment risk as a person, then and only then, should you invest. You should use a platform like meta trader 5. Banxso aggressively pursued my and became belligerent when I said that I would put money with them once I was comfortable. When I did decide to test the waters with R50 000, they then pushed me to place R100 000 with them, with the promise of them giving me a R30 000 bonus. But this is fairy dust. You never receive the R30 000 and it is quickly eaten up and gone with the trades. Universally, there is a margin percentage that generally goes down to 50%. This means that if you invest R10000 and the market goes against you, when your funds have shrunk to R5000 then you hit the 50% mark and to protect your R5000, the market kicks you out. Banxso told me that their marging percentage drops to 30% which is very poor as you can then lose 70% of you innitial investment. But this was only told to me once my investment began falling and I recieved warnings from Banxso to add additional funds. Althopugh against industry standards, they can tecknically set a 30% margin as they are the broker and thus take your money into their bank account and the more you lose the more they make. A conventional trading company do not have any access to your funds. It is you who decides what you will spend from your wallet. Banxso win when you lose because they have your money. Do not consider Banxso as a place to put your money. Not a cent. And if you have money with them, put a stop to all your trades.

Gross negligence, interfering with personal relationships, defamation of character.
Statement of Events Background: Approximately one year ago, I was contacted by an individual named David Smith, who claimed to represent a South African company named Banxso, with offices in Cape Town. Despite finding it pecu**** that he was from Bulgaria with a name like David Smith, I chose to overlook this detail. Initial Contact and Persuasion: David Smith persistently contacted me for months, urging me to invest money with Banxso. He assured me of the company’s excellence and inquired extensively about my risk tolerance, insisting that I would never lose my funds due to a very large free margin they would set. After conducting my own research, Banxso appeared legitimate. However, David Smith’s relentless badgering continued, leading to a point where I became irate and informed him that I would decide in my own time. Subsequent Contact: Approximately two months ago, I received a call from Mr. Daniel Novak, who stated that he had taken over from Mr. Smith. Over the following days, Mr. Novak became extremely persistent. Eventually, I told him to stop trying to bully me into investing with Banxso. A week or two later, he contacted me again, and I decided to test their services by allowing them to trade with R50,000 of my money. Mr. Novak was extremely pushy, insisting that R100,000 would be a much better figure to achieve high returns. When I asked about the expected returns, he conservatively stated that he could easily earn me 20% per month, a claim witnessed by others. Investment and Mismanagement: I transferred R100,000 to the Banxso account. Mr. Novak suggested several investment positions, including copper, which I disliked but he insisted upon. During our conversations, I mentioned that I had invested $120,000 with a Cape Town company named Triangle FX, which had lost over $30,000 in one deal, reducing my funds to $17,500. Despite this, Mr. Novak focused on cutting my losses with Triangle, urging me to withdraw the $17,500 and invest it with Banxso. I refused, and he became irate, stating that I would lose all my money unless I invested an additional $20,000 to $30,000 to salvage my Triangle account. I refused again. Loss of Funds: Within a week, Banxso lost all my R100,000, despite assurances that my free margin would protect me. I made a few small trades on my own, as Banxso claimed my free margin was perfect. However, Mr. Novak placed most of my funds into two bad trades, which significantly reduced my free margin. From around July 25th, I became increasingly upset as Mr. Novak seemed more interested in my $17,500 with Triangle than my Banxso account. Friend’s Experience: Mr. Novak was also managing my friend Nicky’s account. On July 31st, she lost all her money due to two bad trades placed by Mr. Novak. Despite her attempts to contact him and Banxso, she received no response. This negligence is the responsibility of both Mr. Novak and Banxso. Final Incident: After 3 PM in the afternoon, I went back online to check my account and found it empty and closed, with my R100,000 gone. I contacted Mr. Novak, who was surprised and said he would get back to me. He eventually responded in a casual manner, stating that the market went bad and I lost all my money. When I inquired about my protective free margin, he mumbled some nonsense. It was evident that Banxso and Mr. Novak had no interest in me, my funds, or my trust in them. There was no sympathy or remorse shown. Mr. Novak simply moved on to my $17,500 with Triangle, insisting that I move it over to Banxso. I questioned how I could trust Banxso with any money. He proposed a solution where Banxso would put up R106,000 if I invested an additional R201,200. They did not offer to give me the R106,000; it would be their money. I countered by saying I would put in R106,000 if they credited my account with R201,200. Mr. Novak refused and reverted back to my $17,500. When he failed to gain traction, he handed the phone to another person from Bulgaria, who also tried to convince me to shift my $17,500 to Banxso. Further Contact: I contacted Banxso and eventually spoke with a woman. I requested a meeting with the bosses and insisted on dealing only with a South African. Nicky also stipulated that she wanted to deal only with a South African. Banxso claimed to have offices around the world, but we have found no evidence of this. Please note that we have all of this on record. Additional Case: Another friend, Lydia Havey, invested R100,000 with Banxso around the same time I did. She followed their precise instructions, and all her money is gone. Conclusion: If I do not receive a full refund of my squandered funds and an apology, I will take severe legal action and have all their assets frozen until the matter is resolved. It is also important to note that Daniel Novak contacted my Girlfriend Nicky behind my back and deliberately tried to create a divide between us. He has even gone so far as to tell Nicky's father that he should be concerned about his daughter being with me. He said to Mr ****nz, 'What kind of a father is he, buy allowing his daughter to be with me." This is a gross intrusion into the personal affairs of private people and open to charges of defamation or character.

Absolute mismanagment of investment funds, no communication and treated with disdain.

I am under correction but I do not think that Banxso verified me.

Banxso fund manager company deserve zero rating.
I was pursued for several months by one of the Banxso fund managers. He wanted me to invest funds with Banxso which, has an office in Cape Town. I was then contacted by A Daniel Novak and I eventually said that I would test the waters with them and invest a sum of 50k'\. If they made profits on this I said that I would invest more funds. Daniel Novak, who puts himself over as a hot shot trader, convinced me to invest 100K. I did so. Just weeks later and due to negligence and not doing their promised job correctly, every cent of my 100K was gone. My friend Nicky invested R25k and her funds were gone in just weeks. I have been trying to get in contact with one of the Banxso directors and have had zero success. The only solution from Novak was to ask me to place another R200k into my trading account. At the same time, he tried desperately to close a trading account with another company and transfer it to Banxso. He said that if I did not, I was going to lose all my money because the trade was set up incorrectly. I said no and I began working on that account. I am not a trader but I completely outperformed Novak and Banxso. I checked them out on the web before I deposited funds with them. Subsequently, I found out that I was not even verified. All they wanted was my money. DO NOT GO CLOSE TO BANXSO. AND PARTICULARLY NOVAK. Unprofessional, duck and dive, shifting blame and taking no responsibility is what I have experienced. Do not go near them.

Do not use Sings Trading. 3anglefx.com
After been pursued by Singa marketing for several months, i eventually agreed to invest R1200 000 into their trading platform. They are affiliated to 3anglefx. They day trade in a large cross section of assets, currency, stock exchanges and so on. At first they were attentive. Then in just one trade they lost about R700 000 of my money. They made mistakes and stated that they took full responsibility. I remained calm and told them to produce a strategy to bring in profits. Their solution was to put another $100 000 into my trading account. I did not but i lost a further R100 000 plus. Now they are silent. I receive no assistance from them at all. Before they lost around R800 000 of my money, they stated that they would make me 70% returns. I said that if they put it in writing that they guaranteed me 30,% returns, i would put another R2000 000 in. Of course they would not. From my experience with this company, i would not invest a brick with them. Craig Ferreira

Horrendous service and attitude.
I'm staying in one of their so called security complexes called portobelo in mossel Bay. In the past three days my vehicle and another residents vehicle has been vandalized. I contacted status mark property group and they stated that they take absolutely no responsibility. I spoke to a rude and bombastic woman named Louise du Plessis. I have since found out that vandalism to property in this security complex is not uncommon.
