Unable to withdraw, asked to deposit a lot more fund to reactivate the account
People luring me to use Portal Realm Limited (http://www.portalrealm.co) claiming that PRL is legit, and is a member of NFA (National Futures Association) with
NFA ID 0537783. Before checking into the details of it, I transferred over $16K to
PRL. Only after a week, my account was locked and unable to
withdraw. The so called account manager said that I need to transfer additional
$40K to reactivate my account and enable the withdrawal.
I wrote email to PRL compliance department and do not get any
reply. There is no other way to direct
communicate with PRL other than the emails.
Now I checked that whatever company can register in www.fincen.gov and ww.fincen.gov will not verify any information of
it. Also, NFA said that NFA ID is only
for tracking purposes, Portal Realm Limited is not their member, as such NFA
cannot do anything about it but only reporting this to the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (CFTC).
Only advice that NFA can give is not to send the $40K.
The account manager said that I can complain to any
authority as I wish. True that I can’t
find any authority will check into a SCAM like this.
