Beware! Midasama is an offshore broker! Your investment may be at risk.
RECOMMENDED FOREX BROKERS
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Open trading accounts with at least two brokers.
At first, Midasama might seem like the perfect ground for copy trading, but our research gives off a totally different vibe. Midasama claims to be a copy trader, and as far as our research went, this claim seems to be true, although we were unable to register, thus cannot vouch 100% for it. Nevertheless, this brokerage firm is suspicious as we shall see.
MIDASAMA REGULATION & SAFETY OF FUNDS
Let’s clear something out of the way first. A copy trader usually offers the ability for users who either lack the skill or time to trade in forex and other assets by automatically coping the trading strategies of other more advanced and involved users.
The biggest and most important element of any broker seems to be ignored at Midasama, that is the regulation. There is no current information anywhere on the website. Let’s clarify. Upon our attempt at registering, we were offered the Terms and Conditions, which turned out to be the Privacy Policy, leading us to believe that there are no other legal documents- a sign of an illicit broker. Next, the website itself does not include any licensing details anywhere which can mean only one thing. We have to conclude that Midasama is an UNREGULATED copy trader/broker, thus putting any and all deposited funds at a risk!
Traders should be trading with risk-free brokers, that hold licensed from renowned and austere agencies, like the FCA or CySec , which have made a name for themselves as some of the top regulators. Readers should be aware that both agencies have adapted very strict rules of conduct, and their licensing framework guarantees safety and security for all clientele. A good example of this is the segregation of accounts which assures that client money and broker money are kept in separate accounts. Furthermore, FCA/CySEC brokers participate in a financial reimbursement scheme that cover traders losses in case the broker becomes insolvent.
The FCA provides up to 85 000 pounds per person, while CySEC guarantees up to 20 000 euros.
However, Midasama’s registration process mirrors those of regulated brokers. It requires proof of ID, among other security details. However, this alone cannot alter our conclusion about it.
MIDASAMA TRADING SOFTWARE
Since we were unable to register, we cannot vouch for the presence of an actual trading platform. Needless to say, the website hints at some trading assets such as Forex Pairs, Stocks, Commodities, and Indices, revealing the possibility of a trading terminal. As of yet, these insignificant details are the only pieces of the puzzle.
Furthermore, there are absolutely no trading conditions to speak of, obscuring both our review and users’ involvement in Midasama.
MIDASAMA DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL METHODS AND FEES
Unfortunately, Midasama again falls short on details. The only payment methods revealed to us, is the one we saw during the registration process; that is where they asked fro bank details. We can deduce that payments are made via Wire Transfer. Other payment methods and conditions (if any)are left undisclosed.
We strongly advice traders to only deposit the minimum deposit, or better yet – not deposit at all! As for the withdrawals, scammers are known to either deny such requests, or impose incoming and unexpected charges.
How does the scam work?
Users will be in the middle of a scam without even knowing it, that’s how efficient these scams are. Yet, clients will also be surprised that the most utilized scammer structure is laughably easy to grasp, making it predictable. We have dedicated the following section to the reveal of how the scam works.
The internet is filled with ads, it’s the fuel of the industry, and a big chunk of said advertisements are misleading and some are downright deceitful. The ads concerned with unregulated forex brokers are often very promising, and most of the times utilize completely false claims of immediate profit. Those tempted enough will be redirected to a robo-scam website that further guarantees profits. The only thing that separates the user from the unrealistic promises is a fast registration process that requires a phone number and an email address. After inputting this info unsuspecting users will start getting phone calls from illicit broker representatives, whose one and only job is to initialize the scheme by pushing a trader to make that first deposit of around $250. After that’s done, the senior representatives will be calling. These expert scammers are extremely good talkers, and will start working on you to start putting even more money in. They say that the more money invested, the higher the profit will be. At this point most traders start seeing the big picture, and will want to withdrawal their money and get out fast.
However, the scammers have anticipated this development, and are ready to counter any withdrawal request. Typically they find excuses for delaying the request in the legal documents that hold specific clauses for these purposes. The reasons are many. One thing to remember is that all illicit brokerage firms will deny the withdrawal request for as long as they can, because of the imposed time limit traders have for filling a chargeback. Once the crucial due date is not met, any chargeback requests will be denied.
What to do if scammed?
Those of you who deposited using VISA and MasterCard wil be glad to know that both companies have extended their chargeback time span to 540 days, especially if the reason for it is an online scam.
Scammers will steal directly from a bank account, if the traders has provided crucial details, like banking password or security code. If it get down to this, be sure to either block the account or change the password.
Sometime victimized users will stumble upon the so called recovery agents that promises to magically reclaim all lost investments, for a fee that is. Needless to say, they will not get back any of the lost funds, and will basically scam you a second time.
