I faced significant issues with withdrawals. After making a profit, my request was delayed, and I received vague excuses from customer support. It has been frustrating trying to get my funds back.

I had a terrible experience with PFD. My account was suddenly frozen, and I was unable to withdraw my funds. Customer service was unresponsive, leaving me feeling scammed. I would not recommend them.
