Hallo all. My purpose with this thread is to gather information on SCAM like behavior of banks and bigger brokers. This information could be used in newspaper article so it must be easy to proof. I’m looking for actual cases like the one from “fxid10t, us” on SAXObank (2007-04-18). In that case SAXObank changed a trade afterward because of “speculative trades after announcements”! Maybe there was some kind of a “small print” condition on behalf of SAXObank. However, a broker dealing with options, futures, stock and forex that rules out speculation simply doesn’t know trading is all about: Speculation! If you do have such information, would you be so kind and share them with me and others? The information you provide will be treated with 100% assurance.

I may provide you with completely "proofing" records. It is about my case with FXopen - they completely removed all of my trades - days ago ... Fortunately they didnt removed my initial deposit so I withdraw it

one that i know of currently gone in many cities is " The Forex Project" ran by Lou Rivas. He had centers in Orlando, FL Spartanburg, SC Chattanooga, TN cleveland, TN and Panama City, FL
He had well over 200 employees and they up and closed the offices and abscounded with all investors monies and left the Employees with out being paid for about 4-8 weeks. there are two blogs currently under way, the clients have forced him in to involuntary bankruptcies but i hear that he is doing the same in miami currently

Please post so all know that this man talks with a silver tongue but leaves a path of destruction in his wake. He doesn't claim to be a broker but an "IA" but works with interbank FX and Equity bank and apparently some dealings with these banks were really shady.

Henry Gordon was a N.Y based Forex investor scam . Operating reliably for months they traded your money on the Forex Mon-Fri and deposited daily into your account. They had a NY address and NY phone number. Suddenly they dissappeared with tens of thousands of investors monies from all around the world. They answered calls to their USA NY # up till 5 days before that they fled. This is a hypocrisy. Now we dont know where or whose these Bandits are??????.We even asked initially the NY State Commerce Bureau to check on their biz name and they said no probs. So we went ahead and invested. It really means these guys with their website plastered all over America and the world could run a scam in the Big Apple and get away with it. What does this say.??? It says a lot. As a longtime patriot of Americans it means the NY Dept got its guard down.The SEC were complained to.They can formally tell us nothing after five months. We suspect they have no time to hunt these guys down. I cannot imagine such things happenng in N.Y for so long. If it was LA yes but not after 9/11. Come on guys lets nail these bastards once and for all as they ran others scams as well. We need to get our money back from the Liberty Costa Rica accounts they / we had to use. We pray and hope that this is not another style of infiltration into the Big Apple as before to test the awareness of the American people.
