Avatrade - **** forex trading site

I was looking for a site to trade on forex and came across Avatrade EU Ltd.

The site requires one to deposit US$100 as a minimum to start trading.

After making the deposit and playing around on the site (not commencing any trading), I decided to also read up on other people's experience on the site (I know, should have done that before I signed up and paid the deposit). The reason for me doing some research on Avatrade's ethical practices is that I had a gut feeling that the site is not legitimate.

I discovered that a lot of people had trouble making withdrawals and also communicating with Avatrade EU Ltd.

I immediately proceeded to request a withdrawal of my funds on the website.

I have, to date, received no communication in confirmation that the refund has been processed and I have also sent emails to which I got no reply and made phone calls to lines that just keep ringing.

Please stay away from this trading platform and all of its divisions in other countries as they are quick to grab your cash, but are quiet afterwards.
