Abstract:FXClearing and Tech-RMS scammed $500 via false promises and locked withdrawals. Discover key facts to protect yourself from this forex fraud.

The threat of scam brokers in the forex industry is real and escalating. One traders detailed experience with FXClearing (FXCL Markets Ltd.) and its partner Tech-RMS uncovers a web of misleading marketing, manipulative withdrawal policies, and systemic evasion of accountability. This exposé draws directly from payment records, support emails, and withdrawal logs to highlight how these entities operate, revealing the true identity and behavior of FXClearing.
The journey started with an advertisement on Facebook promising a forex trading bot capable of guaranteed monthly returns of 30%. After sharing a phone number, the trader was contacted by representatives of Tech-RMS, who claimed to be based in Singapore, with Filipino staff. They arranged a Google Meet call and walked the trader through creating an account on FXClearing, insisting on a minimum deposit of $500.
Attached is a payment receipt showing a transfer of PHP29,834.20 (~$500) to Dragonpay Corporation on June 23, 2025, at 4:20PM, meant for FXClearing.

After confirming the deposit, Tech-RMS agents, always calling from various Philippine numbers, pressured the trader to believe in account growth, even showcasing a $50 “profit.” When the trader attempted to test the system and withdraw, the process became convoluted: repeated rejections of submitted IDs and proofs of address, and only after several attempts was account verification finally successful.
FXCL Support confirmed the eligibility to withdraw just USD378 — a calculation set after deducting bogus bonus credits and manipulated P&L. The required process included deducting bonuses and corresponding losses before finally processing withdrawals, followed by account closure.

Net Account less Bonus PNL: 378 USD
Withdrawals recorded: 50, 36, 36 USD
Total Withdrawals processed: 122 USD
This restrictive withdrawal process is corroborated by actual withdrawal records:

Tech-RMS insisted that the account must remain open so their “AI bot” could trade — with a promise of unlocking withdrawals after meeting some unattainable “promo terms.” Trades made without the traders consent led to rapid depletion of the account, dropping from above $500 to as little as $400, all while withdrawal explanations pointed to arbitrary “promo” requirements.
Attempts to revoke Tech-RMSs access via email, forms, and chat were ignored by FXClearing. Only after negative reviews and filing a report to Dragonpay did FXClearing respond.
FXClearing and Tech-RMS used fabricated identities such as “Francis Cortez” and “Daniel Sy” to appear credible to clients. These profiles were created using photos also found on unrelated resources, like public healthcare guides—not genuine employees.

FXClearing (FXCL Markets Ltd.) and Tech-RMS appear either directly connected or operating as a single entity, using aggressive marketing to lure in victims, then enforcing illegal managed account policies and blocking withdrawals through fabricated terms. They leverage unregulated status and obscured contact channels to avoid accountability, as demonstrated in a history of stonewalled communications, fake staff, and proven fund loss.
