ok, thanks. didnt know whether it was genuine or not as i've heard of some scams but ive also heard people making good percentages every month., shame, would have been a good way to get some 'easy cash'. the guy is from nigeria, now i dont want to come across as racist or nothing but nigerians are always on the news with scamming articles and so on, why is it that there are so many scammers in nigeria, i may be wrong and obviously donty want to upset honest nigerians but surely you understand, so many come out the woodwork from there.

i recived this PM b4 2 month : "21 TRADES, 20 PROFITS, 1 LOSS = $1080.OO PROFIT.

That was trading MINI LOTS!!! $1 per point!!

Do you want to know what's the system is?

Please visit below page that I found:

yeah , but they dont need our money to trade with , if they started at 100 $ only and made 80% profit on a monthly basis after 1 year it will be 115000 $ , wow any bank will take them ...

lol

Google the email address and you find loads of people complaining about this scammers emails.

80% per month is a ridiculous profit target when trading other peoples money.

 

[barjon]

banned him

 

[barjon]

btw thanks for posting about it and reporting it - we can't pick up on pm (unless we get one ourselves) so rely on people letting us know.

cheers

I automatically assume that things like this are scams.

The thing is though if you were a really good trader wouldn't it be a good idea to trade someone elses money, so that you are not having to raise the funds to trade with yourself?

Are there not good traders who are legitimate who are doing this kind of thing for real?

 

[everyonerich]

high return is not rare, if can do it legally there are many people willing to risk in this game.

so far, what i've seen is just promising or at least have to show some forward test to monitor. other that than, we shouldnt call it as scam bcoz nothing is impossible in fx.

suddenly i remember this article..

 

[Hoggums]

These guys aren't making 80% per month.

Wonder if that was Madoff working from home........

Loads of traders seek and get backing but they certainly don't go about it by emailing random members of public or PMing random T2W members.
