Malaysia

When I first submitted a withdrawal request, the Malaysian customer service representative said, "The system detected that your account is only linked to a bank card, and the data correlation is insufficient." They then sent me a "data correlation rule," stating that the "value of the linked assets must be ≥ 1.5 times the withdrawal amount." They also threatened me, "If you don't link within three days, your account will be marked as 'high risk' and your principal will be frozen!" I argued with them, saying I didn't have any real estate or stocks, but the representative said, "You can first transfer 100,000 yuan to the platform's 'asset custody account' as a temporary correlation, and then refund it after you withdraw the funds!" Only then did I realize it was a scam! I asked for a direct withdrawal, but they bluntly said, "The data correlation requirements are not met, and your withdrawal request is rejected!"

I previously requested a withdrawal, but it was stuck on a "data error." The Malaysian customer service representative said, "Your account data is corrupted, and you'll need to pay a NT$40,000 repair fee. You'll be able to withdraw your funds within 24 hours of the repair." They also said, "The repair fee will be credited to your account along with your withdrawal, effectively freeing you from spending any money!" I believed them and transferred NT$40,000, which I was saving for my parents' medical treatment. However, after the repair, I waited three days, and my withdrawal was still stuck! I contacted customer service, and they said, "After the data is repaired, we still have to wait for the system to synchronize, which will take another five days." After another five days, still no payment, I sent another message, only to find I'd been blocked! The official complaint portal was also closed!

My withdrawal applications were always delayed for half a month by "data review." The Malaysian customer service representative recommended that I open a "priority channel," saying, "Pay a 50,000 deposit, and the channel will be open, with data review completed in seconds and funds arriving within 2 hours." I believed them and transferred the 50,000 I was saving for my mortgage. After three days, the channel still wasn't open, and my withdrawal application was still stuck on "data review." I contacted customer service, and they said, "Your deposit data hasn't synced yet. Wait another three days." After another three days, still no response, I sent another message, only to find I'd been blocked! I couldn't reach the platform's complaint phone number, and no one responded to messages on the official website! I later learned there was no such thing as a "data-first withdrawal channel"—it was simply a scam to trick users into depositing more money.

When I first submitted a withdrawal request to Emar Markets, the Malaysian customer service representative said, "Your account data doesn't match your identity information very well. You can pass the verification by paying a 2,000 yuan verification fee, and the funds will be credited to your account within 12 hours." After waiting 24 hours with no response, I asked again, and they said, "Data verification is being upgraded, and you need to pay an additional 3,000 yuan advanced verification fee, otherwise your funds will be frozen!" Within two days, they added, "The system has detected traces of overseas data in your account. You must pay a 5,000 yuan cross-border verification fee, otherwise your withdrawal request will be permanently rejected!" I asked for a refund of the "verification fee," but they bluntly said, "The verification fee has been used for data verification and is non-refundable!" They also threatened, "If you cause trouble again, your account will be frozen!"

Initially, the Malaysian customer service sent me daily "real-time platform profit data," claiming that "many users follow the data and consistently earn 20% every month." They even calculated that "investing 80,000 yuan would earn 16,000 yuan per month, with a payback period of six months." I believed them and invested 80,000 yuan. In the first two weeks, my account showed a profit of over 3,000 yuan, but a few days later, when I logged in, all my profits were gone, showing a "loss of 50,000 yuan." I contacted customer service, and they said, "It was your own mistake; the data is clearly recorded, and it has nothing to do with the platform." I had never made a losing trade! I asked them to check my trading records, but they said, "The data is internal to the platform and cannot be shared with users." It was clear they had secretly tampered with my account data and were trying to steal my capital! Emar Markets' so-called "data base" is a joke.

My withdrawal application was stuck under review for a full 17 days! Customer service always responded with a robotic "processing" response. Isn't your data system supposedly fully automated for risk control? Why is it suddenly manually reviewed when it comes to withdrawals? Account profits exceeding $5,000 trigger a so-called "risk review," during which all trading functions are locked. I can't control my transactions while watching the market fluctuate. Will you compensate me for my losses? Customer service even arrogantly claimed, "Excessive profits require additional verification." This is clearly a classic scam platform evasion tactic! Even more disgusting is that I submitted the so-called "verification materials" five or six times, and each time they claimed the documents were unclear, and then they simply disappeared without a response.

I purchased their real-time data monitoring service in 2023. At the time, the Malaysian customer service representative said, "Anytime you have questions about the data, feel free to contact after-sales. We guarantee a response within an hour." Last Wednesday night, I discovered that the data displayed on the platform didn't match the real-time market data by a full 15 points. I quickly contacted after-sales, but no one responded! I waited all night, and the next day, a customer service representative replied, "After-sales staff are off duty. We'll talk when they get back." Because of this 15-point discrepancy and operational error, I lost over 30,000 yuan. Who will compensate me? I asked for an explanation, but the customer service representative impatiently said, "Occasional data deviations are normal. Don't make a big deal out of it!" They take the after-sales service money, then don't deliver, and then play dead when problems arise. This is their "data foundation."

Emar Markets is run entirely by Malays. They constantly boast about being "data-based," but the data they provide is completely false. I lost tens of thousands of dollars, and now my account has been frozen. Isn't this blatant robbery? I previously invested based on their "accurate data reports," claiming they analyzed real-time market data and guaranteed profits. I believed them and invested 50,000, only to lose all but 2,000 in just three days! I contacted the Malay customer service for an explanation, but not only did they refuse to admit their mistake, they also said, "The data is just a guide. Any losses are your fault!" What a reference! They boasted so much back then, and now they're blaming me for problems? Even worse, when I tried to withdraw the remaining 2,000, my account was frozen! I asked customer service why, and they said, "The system detected that you frequently questioned the data and identified you as a risky user." And questioning fake data is now my fault?

This platform is run entirely by Malays, constantly boasting about their "data." As a result, there are tons of withdrawal issues. I've been applying for a withdrawal for almost a month, and haven't even seen a single withdrawal! I invested my money because they claimed their data-driven approach would make withdrawals efficient and secure. But when it came time to withdraw, they started playing dirty. The first time I contacted the Malay customer service, they said, "Data verification takes five business days." I waited. Five days later, they said, "There's an error with the financial data integration; I'll have to wait another week." I waited again. Now, a month later, they haven't replied to my messages, occasionally replying with "Wait a little longer, the data is still being verified." It's clear they don't want to pay! Emar Markets is a complete scam. The Malay-run team has no professional ethics and only uses data as a shield to defraud people!

This platform constantly boasts about being "data-based, guaranteed withdrawals," but it's all just a scam. I've been applying for a withdrawal for almost a month now, and haven't seen a penny. This is money grabbing! I was initially deceived by their promises of "real-time data monitoring, withdrawals in 3 days," hoping to earn some income to help with my mortgage, but the moment I invested, they pocketed the money! The first time I applied for a withdrawal, the Malaysian customer service representative said, "Data verification takes 7 business days." I waited. After 7 days, when I asked about the status, they said, "There's a data delay with the financial integration. Wait another 5 days." I waited again. Now, a month later, when I contact them again, they've completely shut down, not responding to messages or calls, and only occasionally replying with a simple "your application is still under data review."

Emar Markets is a complete money trap. I've been trading on the platform for six months, and the platform's outrageous slippage and shameless scams have left me devastated. I placed a long order at 1.0920 on the EUR/USD pair. At the time, market volatility was calm, but the order actually executed at 1.0968, a whopping 48 pips of slippage! Consider that compliant Malaysian forex platforms typically limit slippage to 6-12 pips under similar market conditions. Even more despairing was when, on the day of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike this month, I set a stop-loss on the GBP/JPY pair at 152.30. However, when the market fluctuated, the stop-loss was actually executed at 153.15, a slippage of 85 pips, resulting in a loss of RM4,100 on that single trade. All Malaysian traders should avoid this platform, which exploits slippage to steal funds and lacks integrity.
