In the ever-expanding world of prop firms, traders and influencers are often drawn to promotions and giveaways that promise enticing opportunities. However, a growing number of reports suggest that not all prop firms operate with integrity. One such firm, Funding Traders, has been repeatedly flagged for unprofessional and unethical practices, leaving influencers and their audiences frustrated and misled.
A Giveaway Gone Wrong
Recently, a popular influencer known as Frugal_Bull approached FXPFREVIEW with alarming claims about Funding Traders. According to Frugal_Bull, Funding Traders initiated contact to propose an account giveaway to his audience. Eager to provide value to his followers, Frugal_Bull agreed and proceeded to host the giveaway in good faith.
Upon selecting and forwarding the winners to Funding Traders, the firm failed to acknowledge receipt of the list and began ignoring further communication. After persistent follow-ups from Frugal_Bull, Funding Traders suddenly claimed that one of the winners did not meet their requirements. Shockingly, instead of resolving the issue through transparent communication, Funding Traders selected an alternative winner without consulting the host.
When Frugal_Bull questioned this decision, Funding Traders responded by blocking him entirely, effectively canceling the giveaway and disregarding the significant effort invested by the host. This unethical maneuver left the influencer in a difficult position, unable to explain the sudden cancellation to his audience.
A Pattern of Deception
Frugal_Bull is not alone in his experience. FXPFREVIEW has received multiple complaints from other influencers and giveaway hosts who recount similar encounters with Funding Traders. These reports consistently highlight the firm’s pattern of manipulating giveaway outcomes, ghosting hosts, and ultimately refusing to honor promised accounts.
Such actions not only damage the reputation of the influencers involved but also tarnish the credibility of the broader prop trading industry. Giveaways are designed to foster trust, engagement, and community spirit. When firms exploit these initiatives for personal gain, they betray the very traders and influencers who help drive their visibility.
Why Funding Traders Should Be Avoided
Funding Traders’ repeated misconduct categorically labels the firm as a scam. The absence of professionalism, lack of transparency, and disregard for fair play present clear red flags. Traders and influencers are strongly urged to avoid any dealings with Funding Traders to protect themselves and their audiences from potential deception.
What Can Be Done?
FXPFREVIEW encourages open dialogue and mediation to resolve disputes before public disclosure. In this case, we have attempted to engage Funding Traders directly to address the issue; however, their unwillingness to cooperate underscores their lack of accountability.
If you are an influencer or trader who has encountered similar issues with Funding Traders, we encourage you to come forward and share your experience. Transparency is crucial in holding prop firms accountable and fostering a trustworthy trading environment.
The prop firm industry thrives on integrity and mutual respect between firms, influencers, and traders. Unfortunately, Funding Traders has demonstrated a consistent lack of both. Until the firm rectifies its practices, it remains FXPFREVIEW’s stance that Funding Traders is not to be trusted.
