Every now and then a reporter contacts the Forex Peace Army. Usually, the reason is to contact the victims of a scam company. During 2016, the number of reporters contacting the FPA has gone up considerably.
For privacy reason, the FPA doesn't share members email addresses on request. Instead, I either email the members or ask the reporter to contact them inside the forums.
I am very pleased to see 2 FPA members prominently featured in an article by Tova Cohen and Luke Baker which just came out in Reuters. I'm also pleased to see the FPA itself got mentioned.
Because of copyright issues, I can't post the whole article. Please don't "help out" by posting a copy, All you'll do is make me or one of my people spend time taking it down. Under copyright law, I am allowed to quote small parts of an article, so I'll quote the two paragraphs where the FPA is mentioned.
On an online forum called Forex Peace Army, he found hundreds of others like him. Desperate people from as far afield as Australia, South Africa, Canada and Singapore now use Forex Peace Army as a platform to exchange experiences and try to fight to get back some of the tens of millions of dollars they say they have lost to various online companies.

In late 2014, Strake took her case to the German police, who could not track Vinyard in the UK, she said. Extensive searches on social media found no evidence of him, either. Frustrated, Strake found her way to the Forex Peace Army forum, where she has become a leading lobbyist for action against NRGbinary and other high-pressure brokers.
I'm happy that FPA members are brave enough to step forward and tell their stories, not just in the forums, but also in the press. I'm happy that these members continue to actively pursue the scammers. I'm happy that reporters are seeing that the FPA is a valuable place where victims of scam can express themselves, seek help, offer help to other victims, and find ways to fight back.
Always remember: Alone, you are just another unhappy customer. Together, we are an army.
I encourage everyone to read the entire article here...
