BTI customer reviews

Summary
The reviews present a sharply divided picture of Bawerk Trading & Investment. Some reviewers praise its fast execution, tight spreads, low fees, responsive mobile and desktop platforms, real-time pricing, detailed account statements, risk-management tools, educational materials, broad range of instruments, and supposedly quick deposits and withdrawals. They describe the broker as professional, transparent, reliable, and supportive. However, many other reviewers accuse the company of being an unlicensed or fraudulent operation. The most common complaints involve being unable to withdraw funds, repeated demands for additional payments labeled as taxes, insurance, liquidation costs, invoices, blockchain charges, or registration fees, and the use of Bitcoin or Ethereum payment requests. Several people claim to have lost substantial sums, ranging from thousands to more than £20,000, sometimes after taking out loans or investing their life savings. Reviewers also report that communication stopped once they requested withdrawals, accounts became inaccessible, and representatives allegedly blocked calls or messages. Some specifically mention sales agents such as Thalia or Thallia Pappas and Liam Marston, accusing them of using persuasive tactics to gain trust. Several reviewers claim that Bawerk is not FCA-regulated, has appeared on a government warning list, or has ceased operating. Some also suspect that the positive reviews are fabricated or posted by customers who have not yet attempted to withdraw their funds. One review appears unrelated to forex trading and instead criticizes paint samples and shipping charges, suggesting that the review collection may contain mixed or misclassified content. Overall, while a minority of reviews describe a positive trading experience, the dominant theme is severe concern about alleged fraud, withdrawal obstruction, unauthorized fees, misleading representations, and significant financial losses.

Below is a modified transcript of my original review back in November last year, which was removed after 24 hours I hope this isn’t removed. 
Well I don't know where to begin. I mistakenly became involved with Bawerk through a link on a Martin Lewis website and therefore thought it was endorsed by him. Simply, I've been scammed for a great deal of money by a very convincing lady, Thalia Pappas. I'm embarrassed to admit my being scammed but I want to prevent the same thing happening to others. My initial contact was at the end of April 2023, and I soon started Contract for Difference trading, initially with a small investment and slowly increasing as my trust developed. Trading continued positively but some bad calls were made in August and to protect my investment Bawerk arranged special insurance cover at an additional premium of $22,000.00. I paid $11k and BAWERK paid the balance. We continued talking but couldn't trade until the insurance paid the deficit and returned my original investment. During the first week October 2023, Bawerk informed me that the insurance company had paid up and my trading platform was up and running again. A few days later it was. As by this time I was suspicious I wanted my original investment returned and this is where the problems began. Already several banks had refused to open an account as soon as the name BAWERK was mentioned, My own bank, HSBC tried their utmost to dissuade me from becoming involved and full credit to them. But I knew best!! Anyway I had tremendous trouble getting the money out and ended up not getting any money out. Bawerk tried to extract some more thousands of pound from me which they said the bank needed up front to complete the transaction. We continued talking for several more weeks, and then communication was stopped. I've tried calling both BAWERK and their parent company. I've e mailed both organizations, again no response. E mails to Thalia Pappas just kicked back. her phone is no longer connected. Contact by Signal is blocked The whole scam was so callous which is what hurts the most. Apart from taking my very significant investment, pushing for extra money for the insurance and for the bank payment, leaves me lost for words. I've full photographic copies of all our Signal chats and records of our phone conversations. I will be fighting to get my money back. I'm just not sure how as yet. Please anybody reading this, don't get tricked like I was. I just feel totally stupid and with all my life experience feel sick that i was tricked this way .

Their paint samples are dreadful, £1.50 each for a tiny piece of paper, not even A5! @and they have the cheek to charge £4.95 for postage!! And in the description they say half of the colour cards don't even reflect the colour when it's actually applied to a wall. Their tiny sample pots are £15 each.

Look at all of their feedback it is BAD, Liam Marston If that is his name is a con artist . I have posted names and telephone numbers before but whether or not trust pilot is in cohoots with them I do not know !! As they keep getting removed , so make your own mind up.

Bawerk as really make me see the darker side of trading, I started with them with a high hope of gaining profit, another means of income, but little did i know that I'm going into destroy, I put a lot of effort in this and whenever i want to take out they ask me to pay more before i can take anything out, it doesn't seems right and they are professionals in what they doing, when thing was about to get heat up flower.health came into the equation after given them all the necessary document of the transaction they claim all my ends meet from then.

Please don’t be conned by this awful company. They have taken all my life savings, promising great returns for my investment. Don’t believe a word, the lovely Thalia Pappas is nothing but a con artist, who I trusted implicitly. I’m owed over £20K after foolishly paying blockchain, ETH and insurances. When my money ran out she cut all contact, leaving me suicidal with worry. These people are THIEVES who I can’t wait to meet in a court room.

This is a scam i was supposed to close my account with them and transfer my money out and that was when the troubles started they pretended my money was withheld by block chain and kept asking for liquidation funds,after paying a huge amount of money for liquidation they still kept asking me to pay more money and I refuse , they have refused to let me withdraw my money THALLIA PAPAS the lady I was dealing with sounded so nice and convincing but they are all a bunch of thieves Please please do not trade with this company. None of the good reviews are genuine and I think trust pilot should take some responsibility for people being scammed.

Out of all the trading sites I tried, bawerk is the smoothest experience. Instant deposits/withdrawals. Tons of other payment methods included as well, great overall features and options available.

Been trying to withdraw for a long amount of time now all they have done is ask for more money to pay for taxes and invoices for their fees. Pretended that a blockchain was involved and asked to make a payment to bitcoin and the eth it’s all a scam I’m owed £15k I might as well have thrown it away. I now have to pay off a £15000 loan they conned me into taking out. This means that because of them I cannot retire.
