AMEGA: dubious reputation, lack of regulator, and account verification failures The popularity of trading companies has been growing rapidly in recent years. It goes without saying that a reliable broker is a key element of successful trading. Investors trust someone with their money and they have to be sure that the company will guarantee its safety. The number of brokerage firms increases every year. Unfortunately, the high demand for this type of service did not go unnoticed by scammers. Nowadays, unscrupulous sham companies deceive traders by stealing their money and depriving them of legitimate financial profit. In this article, we will tell you about the dubious reputation of AMEGA, namely about the regulator, reviews of other traders, and queer verification procedure. About company On the company's website, there is the "Regulation" section but without any information about the place of registration, regulatory authorities, or the history of brand development. There is also a lack of information in the "Contacts" section – only email addresses, links to social networks, and a feedback form. We were unable to find the address of the main office or phone numbers of the company. It means that this broker is likely to be another "Forex kitchen" that hides its location and does not even care about creating any brand story to lure clients. On the Internet, there is information that the broker entered the financial market for the first time in 2018. Reviews of cooperation with AMEGA start to appear also in 2018. AMEGA does not provide e-commerce services to residents of the Republic of Seychelles, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the United States, or some other countries. Notably, the company offers its customers a generous bonus program. AMEGA bonus programs are mentioned in all online reviews devoted to the broker's work. The company's entire news feed is full of big bonus announcements. Currently, a 150% bonus for the first deposit and a 100% bonus for each deposit are offered. Some time ago, AMEGA also offered a $222 No Deposit Bonus that was quite popular among traders. Presently, there is no information about it on the website. Take a look at the reviews on the Internet:
Alexander Shah, 18.12.2018
Emin Aliev, 20.12.18
Crazy Life, 20.12.2018 Curiously enough, these reviews are rated five stars. It is only the smallest part of the positive comments about cooperation with the broker. Did we unfairly accuse the broker of dishonesty despite so many satisfied traders?
Vladimir, Russia 02.03.2018 However, things are rather different from what was stated in those reviews. The fact is that some traders said that the broker gave $222 bonuses to client accounts with a promise that they could withdraw it if they left a positive review about the company. Could you expect such a trick? Of course, the broker's actions were criticized by many independent forums. Moreover, traders should also smell the rat: only think, more than $200 for one positive comment is too generous, isn’t it? There is no need to be a fortune teller to predict that investors will be unable to withdraw the bonus. Furthermore, we came across a lot of negative comments from traders. Importantly, many of them were left by the same people who wrote a laudatory review a month earlier. There were comments stating that the bonus program worked and the $222 bonus credited the trader's account. However, the number of such reviews is scarce. Besides, they seem far-fetched. Here are negative comments about the company:
Igor, Russia 22.07.2020
Ivan, 23.07.2020
Sergey, 20.08.2019 AMEGA verification procedure You may have probably noticed that many investors complain about difficulties arising at the verification stage. To withdraw money from the AMEGA website, you need to confirm your identity. Yet, a lot of traders cannot do it as they face insurmountable difficulties. What does the broker require? Scanned copy of the passport and other documents. However, when the client provides necessary documents, the company's representatives say that there are some problems with the docs.
Yuri, 02.04.2019 They Constantly change the verification rules. The company's manager asks the trader to send a photo with the passport in hand or a photo of the document itself on a white background with a timestamp. Before doing so, please remember that it is unsafe to reveal your personal data to suspicious brokers without registration. Don't you think it is odd that the company itself hides its address and other necessary information, but it obliges traders to disclose personal data? Conclusion It is not so difficult to raise the profile of the company with fake reviews. This is why many scammers do it without a moment of hesitation. They promise traders mountains of gold in exchange for a positive comment. Many laudable comments attract other gullible traders. However, it will not last forever. Sooner or later, without receiving the bonuses, traders will flood the Internet with negative comments. Do not rush to open an account with a broker after reading the tempting promises, you should look at the "Regulation" section as well as get acquainted with the main information about the company's activity. If the broker has no regulator and some brand history, you should stay away from such con organizations. By no means should you open an account with such a broker. Apparently, the notoriously famous $222 No Deposit Bonus was the limitation of AMEGA’s creativity and fantasy as the company did not launch some other bonus contests.

There were good reviews only about Amega. Because of that, I thought that this broker could be trusted and I opened an account right away. I was disappointed when I made my first trading activity and the platform kept crashing. My take profit order was not executed and instead, it was automatically closed at a losing position. All of my funds was gone just because of this.
The bonuses were very attractive. I did not think that it could only be a ploy to get clients because many other brokers are doing it too. I chose this broker because aside from the bonuses, they do not ask for a huge capital. However, after opening an account, that is when they started bugging me to add more funds in my account. They called me almost every day just to convince me to do so.
No matter how many documents I send them just to verify my identity, they will always reject it. I also sent them all the documents possible but they refused to accept them. From this alone, we can see that they did this so that we can never withdraw our funds. Opening an account at Amega was the worst decision I ever made.
Amega was my first broker. I chose it because I saw it in one forum and it appeared promising. After talking to their representative, I got even more interested. The rep was very enthusiastic and convincing. In the end, I started an account and invested a total of $800. After that, no one from the company responded to me again. Their enthusiastic representative was suddenly gone and before I know it, I no longer have access to my account.
Amega looked suspicious from the start. I got to their website by accident and although they seem to provide promising services, if you look at their website closely and critically, you will notice that they lack many important details. They have no office address which was shady and their contact number was not working.
After depositing money at Amega, I was asked to verify my account. It required various documents which I duly submitted. But then these documents were rejected due to various reasons. So I had to submit many other documents but none were accepted. As a result, my account was not verified and I was not allowed to trade. Worst, I was not allowed to withdraw my funds because I need to verify my account first.
I believed all those positive reviews that I found online. I thought that Amega was a legitimate and reliable broker that is why I did not hesitate to open an account with them. I regret this decision so much because I feel like I have been too careless. I lost $500 on this fraud broker and now, I don't know if I can still trade again.
Same here, man. This is my first time to invest in the Forex market and I was only defrauded. I know that I was careless and I did not do enough research but there were a lot of great reviews about this company online. Now I understand that it is really hard to trust any company especially when money is involved.
I also received the offer of $222. I hate to admit it but I also left a positive review on the broker in the hope that I could get the bonus. Sadly, it was all a trick for the broker to have a pleasant image online. Not only did I deceive myself, I probably have also encourage someone else to trade with them with my fake positive review.
The verification process at Amega is just impossible. When I deposited my money, I already went through a verification process. I submitted all the necessary documents and it was approved. But then when I decided to withdraw my funds, the broker asked me to submit the documents again to verify my identity. This time, they kept rejecting the documents that I submitted. I already gave them all the valid documents but they still did not approve it. I think they just really don't want to release the money of their clients.
Amega granted me a bonus when I deposited to them. It gave me a false impression that they are on their clients' side. This was nothing but a scheme to gain our trust and they did it effectively because when they encouraged me to deposit more funds, I easily agreed. In total, I lost $650 on this fraud broker.
