I traded with this fake vantage FX mistakenly one year ago, and I thought it was the real one. I came to realize that something went wrong when I began to trade with horribly huge spreads, the eurusd pair 300 pips, and I got panic then. These uneducated people helped nothing but constantly asked me to put down more and more.
