I have passed the $500,000 challenge, but I am unable to complete the KYC verification because there is no button to confirm or start the KYC process.

WARNING scammers

WARNING: Avoid Nextstep funded at all costs! They promise for withdrawing easily and that they will refund your account fees once you pass the challenge! but in reality, they're a total scam. I've tried to withdraw my funds multiple times, and they've given me the runaround with different excuses.

Don't fall for their tactics. They're clearly not interested in helping their customers. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from this company.

And i have all my proofs and all my withdraw requests more than 40k

requested a payout

requested a payout, but they said it didn’t meet their consistency requirements. They reset my account, and I followed their rules accordingly. I then requested another €1,000 payout, still no response. Please don’t fall for this. They are real frauds. This fund won’t make them rich, nor will it benefit them in any meaningful way because it’s our hard earned money. No matter how hard you work, they will still cheat you. Whoever is behind this company is a true fraud. Please, stop trusting this company and spread the word.

They actually don't deserve even one…

They actually don't deserve even one star. This is the most blatantly corrupt trading company I have ever dealt with. They will cheat you out of all your winnings, even changing the rules in my case to get to my money.

The people rating them 5 stars probably work at the company.

If only we could give 0 stars lol

Absolutely shocking and multiple times waiting for payout to be told some BS about breaching the rules. Request payment and it takes months to even get a response if you get one at all. My account was closed with no email or warning after the last attempt and sick of prop firms acting in this manner. Maybe they have done a runner as the website currently doesn't work, but they will just start again under a new name. Con artists and thieves simple as.

Unable to Reach Support

I tried to contact them several times via email (support), but the messages bounce back as undeliverable. I haven’t been able to reach them

I have been with NSF for over a year now and I requested a payout on Feb 3 2025 and still have not received any email notification or update on my payout request. I’ve emailed multiple times and still have yet to receive any kind of update. I’m sure they are out of business or something because I’ve gotten no feedback. Horrible firm.

Theives is the only way to describe this lot, I cand understand why they havent been raided yet. They make up rules just before they are due to pay out which invalidates your current profits, then when it suits them they disregard their own rules, and when they know theyve done you over they will ignore your requests and give you the run around for months. Police need to be called on these guys.

That’s a scam

That’s a scam. I don’t understand how the hell this shit is still online.

More than a month ago I withdrew my profit and still nothing.

No email, no reply from « support ».

DO NOT BUY ANY CHALLENGE ON THIS PROPFIRM.

Money gone

I paid for a 100K challenge with NextStepFunded, but I noticed that I couldn’t log in to my MT5 account to finally start my journey. So, I sent emails to about five different addresses to be sure and created support tickets as well. No answer, nothing.

I joined the NextStep Discord server to try and find help, but again, nothing.

It’s been a while now, and my hope of ever getting to trade with NextStep is gone. They took my money with no communication—it sounds like a criminal enterprise to me. Please don’t invest your hard-earned money with them.

literally a SCAM

literally a scam... I bought a 100k prop in December, I had problems connecting it to MT5 and I asked for help from support but no one answered me after more than a month and I wrote them more than 10 emails.

I have been sending emails for around 8 weeks to support and have yet to receive a single response. I am waiting for live account details for one account and another account has been showing as invalid when logging in and yet again no answer from support. I don't even know if NSF is still trading. For over a year I never had any issues with this company but all of a sudden they have gone quiet. I would gladly amend my review but I have had zero response.

I withdrew my profits since the 13 February and no news. It says after 1-2 days and still today no message.

I also messaged the support few weeks before because one account is not “valid” but it was valid and in profit befor, i never received any reply.

Last and probably not at least, I can’t access to the website and login i don’t know why.

I'm not sure how else i can get my money back from this company. I have been working on this problem for weeks, and i have yet to receive anything. I have not received a response to my emails, and neither has my account manager. Regretfully, they used my confidence in them. Why isn't HILLBILLY the talk of the town right now? It's the only business i can rely on to consistently deliver on payments
