BTI customer reviews

Summary
Reviews are mixed but lean heavily toward serious warnings. Several traders praise the broker for low spreads, competitive fees, instant execution, fast deposits/withdrawals, a user-friendly platform, a wide range of instruments and helpful educational materials. However many other reviewers allege outright fraud: repeated refusal to process withdrawals, demands for additional payments labeled as taxes, fees, insurance or blockchain/crypto transfers, and requests that pushed some clients into loans; multiple people report losing large sums (often £10k–£20k+), being cut off after paying, and having communications blocked. Numerous posts claim the firm is unlicensed or not FCA-regulated, accuse specific representatives (e.g. Thalia/Thalia Pappas) of deception, and say positive reviews are fake or removed; some reviewers urge regulatory warnings or legal action. A few complaints appear unrelated (product/paint sample issues), suggesting possible review mix-ups. Overall the feedback shows both satisfied users and many alleging serious withdrawal and fraud problems, so potential clients should exercise extreme caution, verify regulation and do independent due diligence before depositing funds.

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.

Con artists con artists con artists Not FCA regulated and you will lose all of your money. You van not draw your money EVER and they constantly ask for more money to draw your money. 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. Please please do not invest any money with this fraudulent company. Go on to the government website as they have put this company on a beware list

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.
