I was repeatedly called by C***** A**** from IG Group Menkul Değerler, who convinced me to invest by promising profits from IPOs. I initially deposited ₺5,000 and was encouraged to buy Mogan shares, which brought in some profit. Then I invested in Limak Çimento and again saw gains—just enough to earn my trust.
But it quickly turned into something else. They pressured me to take out loans and pushed me into Forex trading. I was forced into risky trades like gold and silver in reverse positions, and whenever I lost money, they demanded I deposit more. When I asked to withdraw my funds, they flat-out refused unless I paid a ridiculous ₺250,000 swap fee.
They misled me by claiming they were official price providers for Garanti Bank and Ziraat Bank, and that they had SPK Level 3 licenses. I was manipulated by A** K****, C***** A****, B**** K***, Ş***** M*****, O****, and K******—all of whom called me relentlessly and even threatened legal action if I didn’t pay the swap fees.
I’ve lost $68,000 because of this and I’m filing formal complaints. IG Group must be held accountable. I want my money back, and I urge the authorities to take immediate action against these individuals and this company.
