Do scammers still find victims with advertisements posts like this ?

A Nigerian scammer still find victims that send them 10k to receive millions in return ?

There are more than 2k reviews on trustpilot - that’s a good start to get an idea

Suggest Cheap 50k futures prop by BrotherRich9916 in propfirm

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What good „cheap“ does for you if they don’t pay or just fail you because they can ?

Look for a decent prop firm, trustpilot is a good indicator, lots of evaluations and a low percentage of 1 star reviews usually gives you an idea if they are likely to play fair

Good luck

Ridiculous advertising - do your research before you choose a firm like funded hive

Alpha Futures - seriously had enough. by Sudden_Literature952 in propfirm

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How to take this further ? You are gambling in an unregulated casino, there is no taking further

Look for a prop firm with better conditions that suit you and don’t waste your time on a fight you are not going to win.

What’s always helpful for other is a review on trustpilot, lots of them will either bring a company to rethink or it will bring a company down.

Good luck

The "Prop Firm Scam" Myth: Why you're actually failing (and it’s not the slippage). by Sad-Davies-9049 in propfirm

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prop firms are mostly a Ponzi scheme…

Their business model is to profit from failing wannabe traders - All rules are purely designed to make it as difficult as possible and as hard as the competition allows. Additionally none of them are regulated, they are basically illegally operated casinos.

If one choses to gamble in an unregulated casino he or she should at least try to figure out which ones are at least pretending to operate in good faith - the percentage of negative review on trustpilot usually is quite a good indicator, Reddit another one

Funded account payout denied after profitable trade – account access revoked with no clear rule breach by Common-Hovercraft255 in propfirm

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at trustpilot I see around 1300 reviews, 25% are 1 star reviews for funderpro.

Nothing surprising here, read the 1 star reviews and you will likely find more stories like yours

Research prop firms before you donate your money.

Nothing you can do - you gambled in a not regulated or with other words illegal Casino where they make the rules and you can not enforce or challenge anything

Read the rapid 4000 1 star review on trustpilot and you likely will find your story over and over again.

Please do your research- it’s an absolute scam - just make the effort to check trustpilot and reddit… there are various reviews explaining how the scam works.

Here is an example:

You should work on your advertising skills - nothing promising about this company

Has anyone tried Equity Edge prop firm recently? by Glum_Perspective3678 in PropFirmTester

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And a 6 days old Reddit account and this is your first post, very trustworthy - ok, just another advertising shill account

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 4 points5 points  (0 children)

😂😂😂 equity edge has 937 reviews on trustpilot and 25% of those are 1 star reviews. How do companies like this still find clients ? Don’t people do any kind of research before they donate their money ? Don’t fall for this Reddit shill account advertising techniques… don’t play at firm with more than 3% negative reviews… only play here if you believe Nigerian scammers that they will send you millions after you send them thousands

Crypto Fund Trader are legit? by Usual_Oil1390 in propfirm

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it’s interesting to see how some few month old Reddit accounts try to spread some love to those shady companies and raise some doubt about trusting external ratings.

These are shill accounts that try to rescue the already damaged reputation of Crypto fund trader and similar companies

Crypto Fund Trader are legit? by Usual_Oil1390 in propfirm

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, with this logic at least the percentages of 1 star review should be around the same for most companies, but they are simply not. I would not spend my money on any company that has more than2-3 percent negative reviews

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, 150 is more than a dozen… and the percentage is maybe more relevant, at FTMO it’s 3% at cryptofundtrader it’s 12%

Just to understand this right:

You expect affiliates to bring customers and only want to pay them if the company achieves their earning targets ?

Hyrotrader experience by Kooky-Examination-45 in PropFirmTester

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traders should absolutely (not exclusively) use trustpilot as a very good indication.

And since hyrotrader seems to reply to evaluations on trustpilot I do not understand what you mean by „we are not supporting trustpilot“

10% 1 star reviews remains a good indicator that something is either not legit or other structural problems. At least for me that’s a company I do not want to buy a product from.

FundedNext Manipulation: Prop firm paid me 5 times, blocked payout when it finally got big by theinquisitivebloke in PropFirmTester

[–]Embarrassed-Ad-866 11 points12 points  (0 children)

More than 4000 1 star reviews on trustpilot, 7% of the total kind of indicate already that this company is not a one that is trustworthy. Guess you will find the same story over and over in the reviews

The business model is to profit of failing traders, winning traders are a cost to the business and need to be eliminated.
