Hi all,
First of all, DO NOT USE BANC DE BINARY.
So it all started on January 30 with Ultimate Millionaire BluePrint, free software with Warren Green (supposedly the Green Machine for his money making ability) commentating that he wants you to be a millionaire too. Yeah right.
Connect to brokers to place your trades using our 91% correct signals. But you have to connect to the brokers. So I chose Banc De Binary and thats where the crazy stuff started.
I had deposited US $500 already to get started, I am interested in finance and world economics and I thought this was a small amount to wager and happy to lose if it didn't turn out.
Then Jim Young calls from Banc De Binary and after an hour of conversation (yes, I am separated and socially isolated) he says "Oh I feel chemistry here, I want to make you a millionaire".
I ask all sorts of questions, who are you, is that your real name (no real name Jeremy Popadopolous but had to change it in America when my wife and I couldn't get jobs), what have you done in your life, how rich are you, if you are rich why are you still working?
Got very reasonable answers to all my questions which I'm pretty sure were all lies, but he was SMOOTH. He had the script down pat.
So we start trading, we make a bit, we lose a bit. He books me one session with his analyst Raymond Reagan who takes me through the same stuff I've already done with Jim on the website so that was an hour wasted. Raymond promises next lesson we learn alot more. There was no next lesson. Raymond was sick for that one and then his name was never mentioned again.
So I follow Jim's trading signals and it's up and down, totally ignores the verbal instructions he gave me where we never place more than 4% of capital held on a trade.
Next thing, money gone. Ok, he says you put more in I can match it to 125%, it's free money, you don't even have to use your own money. So, more goes in, then he instructs me to sell my shares which don't pay enough of a dividend and invest with him. (YES, I am that sucked in by now). So that went up, then down, swings and roundabouts he says, market very unpredictable at the moment.
Next he says convert your superannuation through this company in Melbourne and we can trade back up with that capital, he says he wants me to be a millionaire so bad, I deserve it he says.
So all my super is gone, my savings are gone, my credit card is maxed out which is a high limit as I had been very good with my money before this.
He says try and increase the credit card limit. No from the bank. I say sorry, my trading experience is over and I have lost $113,250 USD and HE SAYS he lost $150,000 USD with me! (The bonus money people).
Then he says try and borrow money from my Mum (Hello, I'm 45!). OMG I LAUGHED, as if I was going to admit how much money I had lost to my mum and ask for more to trade back my money.
So I am currently in the process of emailing with Evelina from complaints, not getting anywhere of course.
Have already reported to SCAMwatch, ACORN, econsumer and have read lots of stuff on this forum which I wish I had come across in February. But I am that stupid, I think I would have dismissed this as a load of losers complaining! Yes I was really sucked in and wanted to believe . . .
A huge thankyou to all members on here, I have been reading for over two weeks now and am finally coming out of my black hole and shame and disappointment and embarrassment.
