    They are unequivocally a scam. They have liquidated some of my options positions and I’m not borrowing. The only thing in my account is long calls, long call spreads same months. All paid in full on a regular margin account. I have no naked options and have borrowed nothing. Here is the phone call where they explain what happened.

    If they’re not on the other side of the trade then what risk is there on a cash settled long call spread that’s paid in full?
