Is there such a thing as an honest broker

First TMS Capital tried to screw me out of commissions AFTER I submitted clients, then I signed up as an IB to Alfatrade UK ltd. The guy here was Tom Harrington who claimed he was the CEO ( but I cannot find any reference on Co House). His sidekick is Benjamin White.
I introduced one of my introducers to him who invested £5k as a tester. It soon came to notice that these guys really didn't have a clue. I kept asking for details of the money manager, but they would not tell me. Eventually they sent me a link to a trader on myfxbook called VSV trader. Seemed a little dodgy to me so I asked for the last 6mnths trading results as this page only showed up to Aug 14. Five weeks later and nothing!
Now I find out that the above Tom has set up a new company called Centretrade FX AND teamed up with Valbury Capital. He then rang my introducer and invited him to a meeting to meet Valbury. My introducer called me to tell me and, after telling them he should not have called them direct, Tom called me but told me my introducer had called him asking for the meeting.
It seems now that everything is going through Centretrade Fx and not Alfatrade who I signed up with.
Another introducer has submitted £150k of business and guess what? Not heard from Tom or his sidekick for the last few days.
I will be writing to the FCA to see if they would be interested in Toms activities, but wondered if anyone else had dealings with any of the above?

Sorry, Freddy, unfortunately, I have no exp of work with them. But in my opinion, CEO will not call anyone by himself.
Let's make a profit)))

first you choose unknown scam-brokers, deposit in them and then you crying about your money. Why don't you choose well-known forex company with good reputation?
There can't be enough money

I agree with @ChrisMuzhik ..
I wouldn't fork out more than 5 pounds on a broker that is unheard of. Especially in the world of forex - way too many scams.

Hey Freddy.
I'm in the same room as that Tom guy and he is looking very tense as people are signing up to Centre FX and had now also mentioned Alfa Capital Ltd. Is this a MLM forex thing going on. As its a bit weird in here and the 3 day training could have been done in a day but they(Hither Mann, John Lee who are doing the presentation/training and some smug looking guy called Vincent Wong just floating around) have been trying to do MLM style psychology talks in between the "training" which is unnecessary and are creating that FEAR of loss within the room. Can anyone expand

There are some scammy brokers, but as long as you go for a heavily regulated broker then there's no reason to be suspicious.
Also - no broker CEO would personally converse with a client unless a) he is a one man band broker, or b) the client is investing hundreds of millions!
Hope you get sorted ok.

If you work as Introducing broker you should do that for trustworthy broker with good reputation.

Most brokers are out to scam you. If you are profitable they will change the trading conditions on you. The best way is to trade very hard and profitable in a short time. There is a lot to exploit in this way.

What do you do then projectar? Switch brokers a lot?

I dunno, I'm from the US and I've been with (over the years) IBFX, FXCM and MBTrading. They all have been good and haven't affected my trading by any of them. FXCM bought out IBFX and when the SNBomb hit I moved to MBTrading because they weren't affected as bad. All have been honest and great in my opinion.

Corrected: Hey megabot, who even mentioned Pepperstone in this thread. What have they got to do with any of this then ? You feel the need to mention them. Its funny Tom Harrington has been linked to Pepperstone but no-one has mentioned this in this reply anywhere, so it seems a bit strange for you to reply this way. Can you explain the comments relevance or meaning.

@Freddyfawcett
Freddy my boy, you are posting very strange name of brokers companies. Why dont you try some of more reputable names like Fxpro or Pepperstone. they are not flawless but I would say solid.

Pepperstone is in my opinion an honest broker
Good evening! you are still working with Pepperstone? Had no problems with the withdrawal of profits?
