I am catching up with posting online my articles.
This is the continuation of the previous article:
PROFIT FROM LIES AND CHEATING - PART 1
Another minus mark that I put on the board within my mind was that he was calling me from Mexico. Then he told me that the bank which is handling the money is in Estonia and on top of it the broker who is supposed to assist me is in New Zeland. Thus I observed and listened carefully to what this guy is telling me and I put on the board all the minus and plus points.
When it comes to his "plus points" it was that he presented me the sample of the investment plan which I could check up against the actual data on the stock market and I really saw that I could make some good profit on it.
Thus in the end I decided that I would try out his proposal and so I went onto registering my online account with his company. But then it appeared that to be able to register a new account I had to make an initial deposit of 3000 USD. I said that under no circumstances I would do that as first I want to see if it is easy to deposit 100 USD and later it is easy to withdraw this money. But this was not an option. They had policy that to open a new account I must deposit money ( at least 3000 USD ). Well... in a way I could understand it as the broker company may not want to deal with small investors who operate with 100 USD but then I wanted only to test if everything is ok. Thus I insisted that I will not do it so this guy suggested to transfer me to the financial department.
While I was waiting I decided to check up on Google the reviews about this company. You'll know... it was interesting because I tried to do it in the past and I could not find any reviews. But this time it was different. And in the first place on the Google list there was a link to the website with the reviews. All of the testimonials were straight forward and pointing out clearly that this is a fraud. And some people mentioned that after the initial investment on which they earned good profit they were tricked and legally obliged into depositing more money. And then they lost everything. Some other people mentioned that they could never withdraw the money from their account as there was no way to get in contact with the customer service.
At the same time when I was reading these reviews I talked with the woman from the financial department who tried to explain to me that I must deposit at least 3000 USD do be able to register and open an account.
Now... having these reviews it was clear to me that I will not deposit even 1 USD as this was fraud.
I did not say anything about the reviews that I read and I finished my conversation. Now I think about what I can do to stop further abuse being done by these people. I could go to the police but then I do not have any evidence. There is a website but this means nothing for the judge. This is a big international fraud but then they are untouchable for the moment.
