After leaving the group today and blocking Emily I was contacted by another member of the group who I have been chatting with occasionally. I was asked why I left the group. I replied that I was uncomfortable with the personal information I was required to give to open a DMA account. The reply was that it is standard to open an account and give these details and that it’s perfectly safe and they had taken profits from the account quite easily only yesterday – yeah lol
I’ve had paperwork turned up with XTB written on it it’s a contract signed by the compliance guy who is actually the MD of XTB, spoken to XTB again today they are fully aware and have reported this the the FCA, I’ve deleted all chats and blocked Emily and the accounts manager
I’m in FTSE100 A53 with 96 members. Emily chasing me to sign up and someone else messaging me trying to engage. I joined this group from a post advert on instagram so was suspicious from the start but also curious. I haven’t parted with any money thankfully. Should we also be reporting this to instagram?
@Soobee – yes I did report to action fraud. There was message from T212 growing scam trend targeting retail investors. Please guys try to help as many as you can.
Emily is repeatedly trying to call me, I have not taken any calls, now their is someone in the group called Alice whom is trying to contact me message me and find out about me, trying to get me to register and open a DMA account. Has offered to analyse my portfolios, apparently I guessed correctly the stock market competition and have won £10 and want bank detail or offered to add to DMA account

Hi Caradon
You should not give them any bank details or any other personal details such as DOB or NI number it’s bad enough they have our phone numbers which they could use to clone our SIM cards.
