International Markets Live
reviews and complaints

I have an entire acronym for this company. It's called CSPS(Cult,Scam,Pyramid,Scheme). They try and rope in 17 years olds into this amazing opportunity that will change their life. And they say all you have to do is sit on your couch and i will give you signals. Anyone that trades for real knows that isn't realistic and if the harmonic scanner is anything above 70% accurate the bank would pay the billions of dollars because they trade to. And they brain wash you into thinking it isn't a pyramid scheme with antics of motivation and success. Alex M joined this company after he left *** which was shut down by the FTC for being a pyramid scheme. If I could give these negative stars I would because this is just a big scam.

I spent 7 months with IM Academy in hopes of learning how to trade in the Forex market after having my first child. It was presented to me as "the solution." I joined and dove deep into the education, unfortunately the platform is set up so that you have to literally search for information and gives you tiny bits and pieces to keep you coming back for me. Any products worth having for decent signals, is extra money on top of the already high monthly fee. If you do not have a large amount of capital, it is hard to even make your monthly subscription in the market. The education is not up to par as is advertised. On top of that, the teams continuously pressure you to market and build the business so that they can continue to rise in ranks. If you are not ranked, or planning to build, most people of the team(especially the leaders) will not even look your way. Most leaders could not trade on their own and rely solely on the products. There were alot of shady things going on like offering 3 way calls to close prospects, then those prospects are given another persons sign up link so that their own friends could rank up.

IM Master Academy is an amazing organization and education based platform for new people wanting to learn how to gain financial independence. I read many of the reviews on here that I don't understand based off of my personal experience. My journey with them has been more than amazing. I came into this company with zero knowledge and didn't plan to do the business side of it. However after having success within the first couple of weeks in the academy people saw a change in me and my husband. We were HUNGRY for this to work for us to change our financial trajectory and it has done just that. We dove into the academy, did the homework, put the same amount of effort into this (if not more) than we did what our degrees are in that cap us on our incomes to gain the level of success we desired. The result of our efforts have lead us to spreading it to many others and building a team. You see, we understand that the companies we have worked for will never pay us enough for our efforts to promote their company. The hospital I worked for gave us an embarrassing raise yearly and a dollar store item for nurses week but asked us to put stickers on our cars etc to promote "their" hospital. We have the pleasure & blessing of being an intricate part of this organization that gives us bonuses for impacting others lives. Not with a diet pill, a candle. tanning lotions, wellness product but for teaching people to LEARN A SKILL that will pay them forever. This is a skill that can be passed on to your children just as we did to our son and daughter who are 22 & 19. We will do the same for our 10 year old. I think many people come into this with a 'give me' attitude and dont put in the work required to succeed. It's a marathon, not a sprint. The long term picture is SUCCESS and if you BELIEVE, you will ACHIEVE. Thank you IM!

I joined this business almost 3 months ago. I am apart of ***. My mentor who brought me in is 22 years old and is a mother and i've known her for 5 years (since we were in high school I'm 21). I'm not gonna lie I was very hesitant about this opportunity because of the fee and because I didn't know who I was sending my money too, but once I got on the informational and heard everything they had to offer and once I got more knowledge I knew I was willing to take the risk. I say risk because ladies and gentleman when you venture for the first time into a new business or adventure it is going to be a risk when you start. It is your first time doing something new so of course you are going to have trial and error. With that being said my first couple of weeks trading I wasn't seeing the results I wanted to see but that is only because I wasn't being as plugged into the trainings and IML as I should've been. Once I really started applying myself to the trainings and asked my mentors for help and used the videos from the academy I started seeing the results I wanted to see. Also you do have to find a good mentor in this business because I hate to say it there are people who do forex and are scammers I am just grateful that I truly know my mentor and know that she is always gonna be there to help me. Also a lot of people have this misconception that we have to enroll people which is not at all true if we wanted to just strictly trade and trade only we could but they show us the IBO aspect of it because if you are learning how to make money from your phone and you are seeing results why wouldn't you want to help somebody out who you know could benefit from this opportunity frfr. It's like you finding the cure to cancer; would you keep it to yourself or would you tell somebody about it? That's my testimony and how I feel about IML and *** as a whole. I hope I opened a lot of you all's perspective!

Honestly these teams bait you in with financial freedom and quitting your job and becoming unemployable and then force people to build the company. They tell you to only trade in the morning and in the evenings. Do not trade during the day. The day time is for people to make prospect (recruiting) calls. Mentors lie about their financial freedom. They tell their mentees to introduce them with edification (making them sound like they walk on water) to new recruits or prospects. They say to introduce them as six figure mentors, yet they have only been apart of the business less than a year. They claim the mentorship they give you is supposed to help you thrive. Personally these people did not mentor me to thrive they mentored me to rank up. They brainwash people into feeling as if ranking up would be the best possible option to secure all income sources. These mentors even tell you that you are selfish if you do not tell people about this opportunity. They guilt trip you into wanting to build a team. Honestly, from what I have experienced these people do nothing but try to boss people into helping them rank up. There was this thing called operation P150, which was to have has many people rank up to p150 as fast as possible. The operation was not explained to anyone but the mentors. After only being in the "business" for a month I got to see what this operation was really about. Helping your upline rank up. (PYRAMID SCHEME) The people at the bottom of the ranks are the ones who will have to work the hardest for the mentors to continue to rank up. I was apart of Young Traders apart of TradeHouse Investment Group and in a smaller group call C.O.B. (Circle of Bosses) and apart an even smaller group called M.E.G.A. Society. I did not even make it a month before these people who claimed to want to help me pushed me off to the side. I was only worth their time when I had a prospect/recruiting call. Other than that they would not even respond to me. When they did get told about their actions they decided to call and text me a lot. They had me buy add-ons, CashTrap and IBO (Independent Business Owner) which is a total of a little under $40. I never received ANY TRAINING ON THE IBO ADD-ON. This is a pyramid scheme and they do not explain it as such. Honestly FOREX is free you can learn off of babypips.com. The strategies that are provided are not accurate. You should not be trading based off of indicators, which is what IM Academy says to do. FOREX is FREE. Learn how to do it on your own rather than wasting your hard earned money with this business. Also, do not believe what you see on the leader's ***.

Truly these groups trap you in with independence from the rat race and leaving your place of employment and turning out to be unemployable and afterward power individuals to fabricate the organization. They advise you to just exchange the morning and in the nights. Try not to exchange during the day. The day time is for individuals to make prospect (selecting) calls. Coaches lie about their independence from the rat race. They advise their mentees to present them with enlightenment (making them sound like they stroll on water) to newcomers or possibilities. They say to present them as six figure tutors, yet they have just been separated of the business not exactly a year. They guarantee the mentorship they give you should help you flourish. Actually these individuals didn't guide me to flourish they tutored me to rank up. They condition individuals into feeling as though positioning up would be the most ideal choice to get all pay sources. These guides even reveal to you that you are egotistical in the event that you don't enlighten individuals regarding this chance. They guilt trip you into needing to assemble a group. Truly, from what I have encountered these individuals never really attempt to supervisor individuals into assisting them with positioning up. There was this thing called activity P150, which was to have has numerous individuals rank up to p150 as quick as could really be expected. The activity was not disclosed to anybody however the tutors. After just being in the "business" for a month I had the chance to perceive what was truly going on with this activity. Aiding your upline rank up. (Fraudulent business model) individuals at the lower part of the positions are the ones who should work the hardest for the guides to keep on positioning up. I was separated of Youthful Dealers separated of TradeHouse Speculation Gathering and in a more modest gathering call C.O.B. (Circle of Managers) and separated a much more modest gathering called M.E.G.A. Society. I didn't make it a month prior to these individuals who professed to need to help me pushed me out of the way. I was just worth their time when I had a possibility/selecting call. Other than that they would not react to me. At the point when they got advised about their activities, they chose to call and text me a great deal. They had me purchase additional items, CashTrap and IBO (Free Entrepreneur) which is an aggregate of somewhat under $40. I never got ANY Preparation ON THE IBO Extra. This is a fraudulent business model and they don't clarify it thusly. Truly FOREX is free you can learn off of babypips.com. The techniques that are given are not precise. Try not to exchange dependent on markers, which is the thing that IM Foundation says to do. FOREX is FREE. Figure out how to do it all alone as opposed to squandering your well-deserved cash with this business. Additionally, don't accept what you see.

I signed up for iMarketsLive through a friend doing the forex pyramid scheme on July ***. I paid $199 through a promotion they were having and I was only allowed to pay through bitcoin. After a few days, I realized it was not for me, so I decided I wanted my money back and canceled my account online on July ,. Their site says if you cancel the subcription before 7 full days have passed, you can get a full refund. I come to find out since I paid through bitcoin they say I cannot get my money back even though I canceled my subscription only 3 days after signing up. I thought they would email me after I canceled my account, but no email came. When I emailed iMarketsLive Support myself on July *** to reiterate that I still wanted to cancel and get a refund, instead of receiving a response from an actual person, I received an automated email stating no other emails sent to *** will be answered unless a ticket is re-opened in my back office. The option to "re-open a ticket" was nowhere to be found in my back office, but two days later on July *** I did receive an email with a link to re-open a ticket and request my refund. Support personnel emailed me back the same day, again stating since I paid through bitcoin that my payment is final and non-refundable. Thank you.

I joined I Markets Live for Forex training. An acquaintance told me about the company and put me on a call with her mentor to give me a better idea of what they do. After it was explained to me, I was immediately asked if I knew anyone else that would like to join and told if I bring 2 other people on I would no longer have to pay the monthly fee of $174.95. I was told to pay the initial fee of $234.95 (3//2020) and I would gain access to calls that will further help me learn how to trade as well as copy and paste trade ideas from the "EXPERTS". I was told that trades from the experts always bring profit because they are "EXPERTS" in this and the training sessions will train me to become the "signal" and to be able to spot great trades on my own. I was advised to purchase another product called the IML Web Analyzer for $22.95 (4//2020) where I would learn how to become the "signal" for trades. I was told that this product was fool proof because you trade live with an "EXPERT". I never made a penny with that. Then I was advised to purchase another product called Swipe Coin for $49.95 (5/*/2020) and told that I would get trades from the Swipe Coin app daily from another "EXPERT". After 2 monthly payments of $174.95 on 4//2020 and 5//2020, I have lost a total of $130.00 after receiving trades from these "EXPERTS". I expressed my concern to the "mentor" and I was told to switch my package from FRX to HFX (for another fee) to learn another strategy that is fool proof.

This is ***. I recently signed up to IML on Monday 5/. I was recruited by Noelle T. I attempted to pay for the Platinum package with my *** bank card but IML did not accept it. I informed Noelle T and she suggested that I send her money through Cash App which I did, $235 for the Platinum Package. I decided to register with IML because i was sold on the factIML Rep Noelle T would mentor me by providing me with the tools and guidance to succeed in trading. When in fact, once i paid for the package she was MIA, i could not reach her. With this program, You are left to view approximately 100 videos, enter into chat groups through Telegram (YTsignals and YTfamily) for more videos and zoom presentations lead by hundreds of thousands of people talking about every damn Forex aspect of the business that it offera and you are expected to navigate through all of this on your own with absolutely ZERO knowledge. I asked for my money back on the 5 and 6th day. I hit a road block because i was encouraged to pay through cash app now they won't refund me. Recruiter Noelle T tricked me into paying via cash NEGLECTING to inform me of the no refund policy if purchased through cash app. She is doing this via instagram. Also, beware of any business that demands to correspond via telegram and encrypted chatting service. oh And IML contact us via chat is a bot not a live person. The contact number, no live person. IT IS NOT ODD THAT THEY ACCEPT BITCOIN PAYMENT BUT DO NOT REFUND CUSTOMERS IF THEY ARE UNSATISFIED. IML LATEST ADDITIONAL SCAM IS TO GET CUSTOMERS TO PAY BY BITCOIN WITHOUT INFORMING POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS THAT THEY WILL NOT GET THEIR MONEY BACK IF UNSATISFIED. WHY IS THAT. THEY CERTAINLY RECEIVED THEIR MONEY THROUGH CASH APP SO WHY NOT GIVE IT BACK? Please advise the next step to refunding my money. Best

This is my second time doing IML Academy and I must say have gotten the same results I did 2 years ago, I joined IML Academy because I wanted financial freedom, I was sick of working for others, I wanted to be my own boss, work how on my time not someone else's, I still do! But I see IML will sadly not help me achieve that goal. when I first joined in 2019 I was so excited to learn how to be my own boss and become a successful young black woman, but as time went on I noticed I wasn't getting the results I wanted. sure the videos were there to explain, but they didn't explain thoroughly enough for me. on top of that, it seemed like people doing the HFX or FRX live sessions off of IML were more concerned with giving out signals than actually teaching us as the consumers how to spot good trades ourselves. Eventually, i got sick of it and canceled my subscription. About a year went by, I heard about IML through a friend and decided to try again and see what would happen, and at first, it was enjoyable, I was learning how to trade and trying to follow the points the people on live sessions gave us exactly, and it worked at first, but I started noticing that I wasn't getting the results I thought I would. At first I thought I wasn't following their videos correctly that they left on their favorite sessions or recorded sessions on IM. Center, so I rewatched them just to make sure, and everything thing was right, their trading strategy, the points they used, everything was right, but I saw no results. when I went on their live sessions, they made money easily, I was trying to figure out why it was so difficult for me, then i noticed they weren't even using the same strategies that they gave us. i was so confused to why they would give out strategies that did not even work. then again i came across them caring more about earning money not learning how to make it, which made me so frustrated because i came here to learn, not survive off of strategies that don't work.

A representative continuously badgered me to join this group as he knew I wanted to learn how the trade, I told him I definitely wanted to within time but I just didn't have the time to do so. I have a lot on my plate right now... between having to move, dealing with legal issues with my mother who's also in the early stages of dementia, owning a business of my own online, and taking care of a wild 4 year old who's having some behavioral issues that I have to get to the bottom with before I can even think of bringing him to school. I regretably, half awake at 3 am paid for the damn program when I didn't want to just to get him off my back. I realize this part is on me... but the behavior of your team not even trying to help me after your rep did not tell me I had to cancel within 7 days to get the full refund, rather I was told I could cancel at any time during the 30 days... I am told they can do nothing for me other than cancel my membership. Even after there is some fault on the company. I only times I logged in was trying to figure out how to communicate, your website sucks as for trying to find out how to navigate to customer service... when I finally had enough internet connection after a major repair from the internet provider, to find customer service in the back office, as I don't have great cell reception where I am currently staying and cannot use cell phone internet data... I've been back to back sorry but there's the 7 day policy... its almost as if its like customer service is saying sorry, we dont care about what happened between you and our representative, what you were told or lead to believe but we won't do anything for you because all we care about is taking money... towards the end I told them this wasn't so much about money to me, I am not hurting financially, its more about business ethics to me. If they had canceled my membership and refunded me due to the fact that I have not been able to use their services, I would've likely returned as a customer to learn trading as its something I do want to eventually learn...because an old friend and business partner, *** is involved in the company and I've just now discovered this as we lost touch a while back...but right now I just can't. I dont have the time, but since your lack of customer service skills by your employees and improperly advised representatives involved in this situation I am very turned off... I have been in hurricane zone, and had my internet completely wiped out for almost the entire month that I should've been able to jump on and start trying the service with and unfortunately.

I had a horrible experience with IML. Concerning an IBO Brian V under Kimberly T team. I joined because Brian V guaranteed that I would at least make my monthly fee using there trading signals. Nothing can be further from the truth. I never made enough to cover my monthly fee but I lost $3000 dollars in a matter of weeks. Then Brian V would contact me and tell me to get in his personal trades and he told me if the trades lose that he would personally refund the money lost from those trades. Needless to say I lost hundreds of dollars that night alone on the trades that he personally guaranteed. Brian V then offered to pay me by providing his mother's IML ID to me so that I may use the services for free, but that never happened. He did give me him mother's ID and log in information but shortly after it was no longer valid And I was not able to sign in anymore. Brian told me that his mom's account was having issues and that he had to call IML to solve the problem. So that didn't work out And he never paid me the money he promised me for those trades he personally told me to take with no worries cause he promised to pay me. But he never paid. He's constantly sending screen shots of winning trades on various what's app groups that he has to recruit people and show people how much money they make. He also offers to pay people to sign up to IML or I mastery. He's a fraud on social media, and says he's a retired world traveler, when in reality he lives off his mother in her house and was working for uber to make ends meet but in his various chats he post screenshots of these large winning trades as if he's making huge returns in hopes of recruiting New people. Brian personally put me on facetime to speak to Kim T and she also told me how much money they make and the huge percentage of wings they had the prior weeks in hopes of re-recruiting me. Brian is a fraud he's constantly posting screen shots and sending people screenshots of this big wins he had when in reality he's broke. He's also a fraud on social media because the things he says and post about are fake in order to recruit me people. And since he represents IML and I mastery live, the company is a fraud as well because they still allow people like Brian V to recruit people based on lies, fake screenshots, and false promises of making allot of money in a short amount of time. I have pictures and screenshots of the trades that he supposedly takes and makes all this money and he uses to recruit people. He even went as far as threatening to beat me up when I asked about the money and called him out on his lies. I would not recommended this company to anyone based on my experience with Brian V, a representative of the complain. His Instagram Brian V and wealth with Brian is full of lies and his family and friends that know his Real life. All say that he's protraying a "fake life" on instagram in hopes of recruiting New people, because that's how he really makes his money Not by trading. I will post a follow up based on how IML aka I Mastery handle this situation.

My intention with joining IM Academy was to learn Forex... After inquiry, I sought out additional information about the company and how the products/services work. I spoke with my contact via phone as well as her upstream to get a gauge of what they do, the expected time input, and knowledge outcomes of the available training resources. I paid the initial payment of $324.95 (6//2020) for the Elite Package. Upon payment, I was granted access to the IM Academy site/google classroom, and was told to download a host of other iPhone apps/resources that would give me access to training strategies and signals relevant to the charts/forex training process and learning strategies from top traders. I expressed concern to my upsteam that the combined products/services were not what I was looking for. I noticed that the products/services offered do not tailor to the training of ForEx trading for those that are interested in learning the skill vs those learning how to take advantage of the products to process given signals. Thus, I requested a refund from *** on today 6//2020 at 12:53 PM (Mid-day). The Bot support advisor told me I am ineligible for a refund because I was outside of the 7 day window. However, I find this to be untrue; today is the 7th day. The IM website states the following: "International Markets Live, Inc. We Guarantee Your Satisfaction! Refund Policy The Company offers a seven (7) day, 100% Money Back, and Satisfaction Guarantee to all subscribers. (with the exception of Bitcoin Payments - due to the nature of Bitcoin payments these cannot be refunded) The seven (7) days, 100% Money Back Guarantee, starts from the date of purchase, includes weekends, and only applies to the initial purchase of a Gold or Platinum Package. If a subscriber is dissatisfied with the service for any reason, the subscriber may receive a refund within seven (7) days of the subscriber's initial purchase, for a full refund of the purchased price. All other warranties and guarantees are disclaimed. After seven (7) days, your purchase will no longer be refundable. Please email *** to cancel your account. The Company offers a seven (7) days Money Back Guarantee for all subscription payments made to IML. (with the exception of Bitcoin Payments - due to the nature of Bitcoin payments these cannot be refunded) This includes the date the subscription is due, includes weekends, and only applies to monthly subscription ("Autoship") payments. If a subscriber is dissatisfied with the service for any reason, the subscriber may receive a refund within seven (7) days of the subscriber's monthly subscription, for a full refund of the subscription price. All other warranties and guarantees are disclaimed. After seven (7) days, your purchase will no longer be refundable. Please email *** to cancel your account." The sale was executed on Saturday 6/*** at 11:53 PM (I provided a receipt with a time/date stamp upon requesting a refund). So, may understanding is that if I canceled, deactivated, and requested a refund before 11:53 PM on the 7th day from date of purchase, I'd be WITHIN the 7-day window per the above statement: "If a subscriber is dissatisfied with the service for any reason, the subscriber may receive a refund within seven (7) days of the subscriber's initial purchase, for a full refund of the purchased price. Again, I requested a refund today 6//2020 at 12:53 PM (Mid-day). Here is a timeline: Saturday 6/*** 11:53 PM to Sunday 6/*** 11:53 PM -- 1 Day Sunday 6/*** 11:53 PM to Monday 6/*** 11:53 PM -- 2 Days Monday 6/*** 11:53 PM to Tuesday 6/*** 11:53 PM -- 3 Days Tuesday 6/*** 11:53 PM to Wednesday 6/*** 11:53 PM -- 4 Days Wednesday 6/*** 11:53 PM to Thursday 6/*** 11:53 PM -- 5 Days Thursday 6/*** 11:53 PM to Friday 6/19 11:53 PM -- 6 Days Friday 6/*** 11:53 PM to Saturday 6/*** 11:53 PM. -- 7 Days Support has responded with an automated response, and the Support Bot on the IM Website powered by Zendesk is less than helpful.
