Okay, so I confess… I didn’t read the instructions completely concerning interest transfers. There are some rules that Finanzas Forex follows:
1) FFx will process your transfer request only after 10 days have passed
2) The transfers will take place either on the 5th or the 20th of the month.
3) They’ll take longer if you made mistake on your bank information

So, for example, I put in my request to pull money out on the first of the month. Ten days had to pass before they would even look at my request. When the 20th rolled around, I suppose they decided to punish me by making me wait until the NEXT payment period, the 5th of the next month, causing the 5 week wait. Mystery solved.

I thought I would look over the frequently asked questions (located in the “Attention to the Client” area), and sure enough, all the info was listed.

As I had mentioned in the last post, I put a request to retire another 300 dollars (after fixing the bank info), and after about three weeks, I found it in my account. Strangely though, they charged me 45 dollars AGAIN! I just put in a complaint, telling them the situation– Let’s see if they respond.

Finally!

After five weeks, I finally got my money.
“Make sure that all the data are correct, or if not, 45 Dollars fees will be at your expense”

Bad english and all, FFx made good on their threat, and for not putting in my full name and investor ID in the “note” box (something I find slightly illogical), I was charged 45 dollars. Either way, it’s real money. 255 real dollars, to my real account. I put in another request to withdraw 300 dollars more for this month, so hopefully the process will be faster (and fee-less) this time.

I’ve never understood this “security” feature on the sign in page of Finanzas Forex.
The numbers don’t look very distorted, and any “bot” with decent Optical Character Recognition would be able to recognize these numbers.

As it turns out, the truth is even more disturbing.
A right click on any individual number will reveal that each number is separated into its own file. I took a quick look at the properties of the file.

The file name CONTAINS the number! This goes beyond stupid. Although I can’t think of any practical application of sabotaging FFx’s website via bots, one would think that if a security feature were to be implemented, it would actually be SECURE. This is like tying a fence with a bowtie. A simple Java program could exploit this!
