Is "sicexchange.org" a fraudulent site?

[killerloader]

We have put money into an account on this website, at a glance it looks legit, however after searching around i can find no reviews and I can't find anyone who has used it. The website is also pretty new.
Basically, after attempting to take money out of the account, they've stopped picking up calls, and there have been many delays.
Sorry I can't really mention much of the details. (Because it was my father using the website and not me)
I'm wondering if someone on this forum can shed some light on the website.

Welcome to Scamwarners,

Please give us more information.

Why was money sent to this site?

Post the emails sent to your father. Remove his personal information prior to posting.

Also post all email addresses and the email headers.

The site appears to be an investment website dealing in oil futures amongst other things.

They claim to be in the UK, but give no details of who the site is run by or who they are regulated by.

The domain was registered in August by someone using a privacy protection service to hide their identity.

I would say that it is a definite scam.

[Bryon Williams]

Yea, was trying to get more details.

The address is fake. There is no Royal Exchange Avenue at that postcode and based on the results from Google Maps searching without the postcode, I don't think the street exists at all in London.

Thanks for the help everyone!
Sorry for not providing much information though, it didn't feel completely necessary when the site itself was the fraud, also I believe most contact was done over the phone or through the website.

This is some bad news for us though..

[Bryon Williams]

it didn't feel completely necessary when the site itself was the fraud,

It is necessary for other victims not to victims to this fraud.

Other potential victims would be warned by posting the email addresses and scammers scripts. The email header may help us close the fake site.

It gives its full title as The Saxons International Commodities Exchange and on the website it states

This Website is created, hosted, maintained and controlled in the United Kingdom and as such you agree that the laws of the United Kingdom and the jurisdiction of the London courts govern these Terms of use,……..

This alone sinks the site's integrity.

Beware of the information that has been disclosed to open the account

Of course that also makes H&A Lux Global Asset another one to avoid and you'll note that on the front page

http://www.luxglobalasset.com

they carry the Saxon International Commodities Exchange logo.

They've stopped picking up your calls because these are fraud / scam sites . You need to post the telephone numbers and email addresses as others have asked .

*Update* They replied with a form informing us of 30% US taxes which needs to be signed or something which i have researched and it is a real form i am just skeptical as to why they would want us to sign this and how it would benefit them in anyway?

Here are most of the emails my father sent me, in picture format.
thanks guys.

Is your father in the USA?

And I can't currently open the images that you have linked to, so can you please post the actual email addresses that were used to write to your father.

ETA: I've now been able to view the images. The form that your father has been sent is a "W-8BEN" form, which is a legitimate form and is used for taxing non-US nationals on any earnings in the USA. As the form isn't used for US citizens and the company is a UK company, there is absolutely no reason I can think of, why he should have been sent this as he wouldn't be due to pay US Witholding tax.
