What can you tell me about World Binary Exchange?
They are ASIC regulated which is rare, and I am trying to find an Australian Broker.
A second question is why so many of the big option houses have suddenly stopped trading in Australia?
Best Answer
World Binary Exchange is NOT regulated by ASIC in Australia. They may be an Australian business, but they are not a licensed and regulated broker.
You want to look for an “Australian Financial Services Licence”.
All the big option brokers like 24option, left Australia because ASIC started threatening them with massive fines and lawsuits for operation in Australia without an AFS license.
And since you asked about World Binary Exchange, you should really read the article able Managed Accounts; https://scamoption.com/managed-accounts-forex-trading/
If you sign a sales agreement and then change your mind:
- you have 10 business days to cool-off or cancel the agreement, starting the first business day after you receive the agreement document
- you can terminate the agreement verbally or in writing any time during the cooling-off period. Written termination can be delivered personally, sent via post, emailed or sent via fax. The agreement will be cancelled from the day you give notice
- the trader must promptly return or refund any money paid under the agreement or a related contract
- for goods bought on credit or finance, the trader must contact the credit provider and arrange for cancellation
- even if you have partially or completely used the goods supplied by the salesperson under the agreement you still have cooling-off rights during the specified period
- the salesperson must not try to convince you to waive your rights to cool off.

I too am affected by this scam. In my case half way through the Audio Agreement, I did not like the sound of what I was hearing about the terms of the trial. So I told the person, more than once, in the middle of the recorded verbal Agreement that I do not wish to go ahead with the trial. The person then told me that he will send all this in writing by email “within the hour” and that I had a chance to review the agreement. Meanwhile, having read online about WBE tactics and after reading the emailed agreement, I emailed WBE that I do not wish to go ahead with the trial. I still got an email invoice, a couple of days later, for US999 from WBE’s “Head of Collections” with a warning that they will collect the debt through Dunn and Bradstreet and that it will affect my credit rating if I do not pay up within 7 days. I rang and spoke to this Head of Collections and told him I had not even started the trial and no service had been rendered etc. I asked him to listen to my audio agreement for confirmation and to send a copy of audio file to me by email. I followed this up with an email to him seeking a copy of the audio agreement and the name of the Ombudsman to escalate this matter to. In spite of three follow ups over the last 5 weeks, I had no reply. Finally I got a call from him (WBE’s Head of Collections) today seeking full payment. I asked him again for a copy of the audio file and the details of Ombudsman / Dispute Resolution Body. He said he did not know who the Ombudsman was for his firm in Australia or details of the Independent Dispute Resolution Authority. He then emailed me an audio file attachment repeating that I had to pay up A$1487.78 or the account will be sent to litigation. The audio attachment turned out to be another person’s verbal agreement. I have emailed him again today seeking a copy of the right audio file and again sought details of the Independent person I can escalate this matter to.
Given that we all are affected by this scam, I thought I will share my experience so that we can all learn from each other. Please respond to this forum and if necessary we can exchange contact details so that we can take joint action – in case individual efforts fall on deaf ears.

commenced but did not complete the free trial. Mr Mullen stated this is a breach of the terms and conditions of the free trial. Mr Mullen advised the invoice will not be cancelled and you will be pursued for the payment of monies owed.
If you wish to pursue the matter further, you have the option of lodging a claim with the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Information, including an application form and fee schedule, can be obtained from the tribunal website at http://www.ncat.nsw.gov.au/Pages/cc/Divisions/consumer_claims.aspx.
Applications can be lodged at any tribunal registry office, Service NSW Centre or online at http://www.ncat.nsw.gov.au/Pages/apply_to_ncat/apply_online.aspx
I am single earner and can’t afford to pay and looking for other options, if anyone can suggest
It looks organised crime against which we should raise a concern jointly, please contact me at [email protected] if we can do something togather.

I think it would be worth you calling Fair Trading again in your state. I don’t see that you can make a claim in the Civil and Administrative Tribunal as you are not claiming anything.
Also might be worth a call to ASIC who I think would be the regulator for this stuff.

As Ramanathan Shankar says WBE don’t even know who the Ombudsman of their industry is, yet they have proven to expert bullies who have every intention from their first call to manipulate the consumer law to somehow suit their own interests.
Hopefully more people post here and continue to complain with Fair Trading so that they are then listed on their Complaints Register, or perhaps the media e.g. A Current Affair would be interested in interviewing these unlicensed types.
At best, keep a log of every bit of correspondence they make, this is how we have armed ourselves and follow any legal advice you get (we have done this and it’s worth it – try Marsdens Law Group if your looking).

I suggest, if you have been contacted by them and you agreed to the trial, just proceed with the trial and complete it. Otherwise, let this be a warning that if you cannot commit, do not ever commit and agree. During the trial or any period before that, never give any financial information like credit cards etc. I see nothing wrong with completing the trial even though I have read a lot of negative comments. Also, there is nothing wrong with just hanging the phone up if you do not want to talk to them. If you have completed the trial and still being called up for collection, I suggest you do what I did, asked them to furnish you transcripts and other records. Then, show them you have completed the trial and that you did not breach any contract verbal or written. In case you have faulted, for whatever reason, let them know about the cause why you haven’t attended the trial. If you can’t pay the outstanding amount, let them know about it. Call up Fair Trading office and request arbitration.
