Withdrawal not processed at GVD Market... Is GVD Market a scam broker??

I met GVD Markets at a forex expo in Dubai and opened an account after completing full KYC. When I submitted a withdrawal request, they delayed it for over two weeks and suddenly asked for a Dubai bank account, address proof, and a new KYC video — even though I had already passed verification. I followed all their unreasonable demands. After 19 days, they claimed I made “irregular trades,” closed my account, and said I could only withdraw my principal. I agreed just to get my money back — but then I was locked out of my account completely. No response from support, emails, or the broker. My funds are gone. GVD Markets is a pig-butchering scam platform. They lure victims through expos, wait until funds are deposited, then freeze accounts and disappear. Stay away from GVD Markets! This is not a trustworthy broker — it’s a well-organized fraud.

Normal operation, without using any means, the platform claims it is a violation. Is it necessary to use high technology to make money? Is losing money the only normal trading? I must be given my principal and profits.

Rubbish platform, only allows customers to lose money and not make money, now the account cannot be operated, and the agent commission has also been deducted. Is it only considered non-violation if you lose money? Please forward it.

Despite having a consistent long and short position with about $300 in equity remaining, my account inexplicably blew up. I hope the regulatory authorities will supervise and investigate this matter and help me restore my orders.

My friends and I, a total of five people, traded together on this platform and all experienced margin calls. They quit, but I continued and made several deposits, each resulting in a margin call. During my last attempt, despite being cautious and careful, the platform froze, there was slippage, and even attempts to lock were unsuccessful, leading to an immediate margin call. My account number is 627073, and I lost 12582.15 USD in just one order.

A company without strength, after the account made a profit of more than $400, the withdrawal request has been left unprocessed for half a month, and in the end, only the principal was returned.

Before depositing, the agent's attitude was very gentle. After depositing, the agent's attitude became bad, so I don't want to trade anymore. However, this platform requires a $50 fee, or I must make a trade to allow me to withdraw. The agent's attitude is clear, I don't want to trade, but I have no choice but to reluctantly place a order😪😪😪 So please be careful when opening an account. The photo below was provided by the agent.

My account is 623087, and my USDCHF order on June 21 was maliciously closed. The highest price at that time was 0.89416 with a spread of 20, and my forced liquidation price was 0.89569. There was no such price in the market at that time. I referred to the quotes of other platforms and compared them repeatedly, but communicated with the platform customer service and manager to no avail. It is unscrupulous.

I encountered malicious pin bar on the GVD platform, which caused liquidation. The market price plus the spread did not reach my liquidation price. I communicated with the customer service and manager but got no reply, so I complained to the platform. As a result, my account was blocked the next day. If this is not a scam platform, what is it!

Red or bearish candles are lined up in gold at US time, if in Indonesia at 19-22, two candles in the 4h time frame will be cool on 2024, March 15. The wide spread of USDJPY alone can be 34 points and it is difficult to change leverage. Below this picture is GOLD. I advise Indonesian traders to be careful with this broker. I'm not banning trading at this broker. But be careful, there are lots of losses.
