at this point I wouldn't be surprised about anything. You'd be surprised how much a guy can lose thinking he's probably doing the right thing. I like trading, but they don't need to throw me a "Surprise Party" everyday.Quote from zdreg:

Quote from traderefe:
Finally received a response from the BBB that they are looking into it my problem. I advice any trader having the same problem than me with Globus, file a complaint with the BBB so they get a feel of the seriousness of the problem.
Talked to the police and they advised me to also place a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency and after that go to civil court.
So thatâs the plan
Quote from oldtime:
sounds like it is no matter of the money anymore, but just the principle of the whole thing. That's exactly how that little old lady made 3 Million Dollars from McDonalds when she got burned by the hot coffee.
Hope you don't get lost in the court system and they get the best of you.
I always like it when the little guy just keeps fighting and doesn't give up.
I suppose in the end, the lawyers are the only ones who come out profitable. But I hope you get something out of these guys who clearly screwed you.
Later, we can talk about your stupidity of opening an account with them. But that is not the isssue anymore.
I want to see the owner of that firm broke, destitute and humiliated. Or at the very least, you made whole (including time lost on your money.)

oh yeah, like getting badmouthed on ET is really a serious deal

Quote from ScalperJoe:
The Ontario Securities Commission has a simple online form to file a complaint, check it out:
http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/documents/en/Investors/frm_20100818_complaint_en.pdf
Their site even gives you the contact info for filing a small claims dispute:
Small Claims Court
Up to $25,000
You can choose to have legal representation but it is not required
Generally faster and less formal than the Superior Court of Justice
Decisions are binding but may be appealed
See the blue pages in your local telephone directory or contact The Ministry of the Attorney General
Tel: (416) 326-2220
Website:
www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca
There are options besides civil court. Like the op stated, the only ones who come out ahead in civil court are the attorneys.
Take the least cost route, and hopefully others will follow your lead and file their own complaints.
It was ONLY through a group effort that created enough of a stir that resulted in a bunch of us to recover our funds from Team Trading.
Remember, the owners at Globus are probably counting on the fact that most will simply do nothing.
Quote from traderefe:
thatâs part of the point of the thread, to make aware potential new client what they're getting into.
well, it may not be a crusade for you, but it's a crusade for us. We want to see these guys nailed to the wall. I want them beaten in public with their wives and children watching, so they will know the kind of despicable sperm they have been infected with.Quote from traderefe:
If they give me my funds back I'm ok. It's not a crusade, just want what belongs to me and I let it rest.
But if they keep on acting like thieves I'll keep on trying. Maybe give them at least a little headache, although people like them with no scruples don't care.

I've got 3 different addresses from different people including yourself:
Globus Trading LLC
166 Grenadier Cres,
Thornhill, ON
L4J 7V6
yeah, I suppose, if you like living close to other people, that's not really how we do it here in Indiana, those kind of neighborhoods are just for dumbshits that can't figure out how the deal works.Quote from diaoptions:
Nice neighbourhood.
