Forex Trading Invesment (Warning: Almost certainly a scam)

[Talking Poker]

IMO, he's not scamming you... he's also being scammed. But they will keep him happy (for a while), so long as he keeps sending them more money and more "paying customers."

I know you want to believe. People who get scammed never want to believe it, but eventually they all have to.

If by a while you mean 2 years and counting and by happy you mean pay out in full then maybe. It's actually because of everything that he showed me that I was trusting...

I hope I laugh in your face in 4 months, but hey maybe you'll get to laugh in mine. Either way the thread is finished here. Lets get back to poker

There's no reason for you to laugh in our faces, we have just been trying to help.

[Talking Poker]

I certainly won't laugh in your face. I feel badly for you.

And if you end up getting your money out or even turning a profit before it all comes crashing down, I would hope you wouldn't laugh in mine.

And who knows - maybe you really have found something in this world that seems too good too be true but actually is true. So, GL.

I just noticed this old thread.

How did things turn out, Zy? Did you get your money back, I hope?

After the 6 month period ended I finished w a total profit of $2779 on the $5k, below what was expected but still not bad. There was some issue that was supposedly causing the returns to be lower than "typical" or something towards the end. Whatever...

When I made the withdrawal request there was a delay in receiving $$$ as they had a new method of getting $ out called pacific mutual, basically a middle man site. I had to set up an account with them which was a pain in the ass, wait for a card to be sent to me with rows of numbers (took 3 weeks) then afterwords transfer the $ there then get it from there to my bank (charged a $42 or $46 i forget fee for the service but whatever). The whole process took close to 2 months to complete which was pretty ridiculous but I did receive the profits.

I left the $5k in and reinvested, so I guess I technically am not "ahead" but when i receive this next one i will be

so basiclaly ur still involved in the scam

[Zybomb]

Yup still involved in a scam that paid out what it was supposed to and at the end of this month when i receive the next payment from april-sept will have paid out more than i invested. I got scammed and they made me $. Damn

[Talking Poker]

Ah, some good ol' money laundering on top of it all - heh.

Obv all the jumping through hoops should be a massive red flag for you, and I'm sure it is. The fact that you had to do all of that to recoup about half of your initial investment is pretty worrying, but hopefully you will be able to get the rest out too. If enough other people's new money is coming in to cover it, you may be able to, but I wouldn't count on it... At least you got half back.

I couldve taken everything out if i wanted $7779. I chose not to. And if this is a scam (not gunna argue since you're convinced either way) it's an interesting one since it has paid out my friend's uncle for 3 years straight now.
