Dear Johnwe,
Personally I wanted to order the proforexcourse.com. then I have checked their address in Switzerland (and asked my friends) and guess what I found:
- SCAM - boiler room scam - so I wonder who was posting these 100% positive reviews about proforexcourse.com
- FSMA posted the WARNING online for this swiss address - the company is registered there as GUARDIAN SECURITIES
- you will also find them on boiler-rooms.org - simply google their address Ackerstrasse 44, CH8005, Zurich, Switzerland. I was living in Swiss so believe me you either have money or you scam people. I was hoping they are genuine. BUT I am offcialy warning you, stay away.
I am extremely dissapointed myself.

Hi Karolina,
I don't have the course, I can't tell you whether it's good or bad, but I heard of the Guardian Securities Ltd sad story.
Here is the FSA warning published two years ago:
_____________________________________
An unknown company using
www.guardian-sec.com to clone the name of Guardian Securities Ltd, a Category 1A Licence Holder The Malta Financial Services Authority refers to its warning dated 25th October, 2011 relating to Guardian Securities as depicted on the websitewww.guardian-securities.com
The MFSA has been alerted that that the company which has cloned the name of Guardian Securities, a company holding a Category 1A Investment Services Licence, has now moved its domain from
www.guardian-securities.com to
www.guardian-sec.com . The MFSA wishes to inform the public that the company depicted on the websites
www.guardian-securities.com and
www.guardian-sec.com is not authorised by the MFSA nor by the UK Financial Services Authority to provide any type of financial service and has no association whatsoever with the Maltese Licence Holder indicated above. The MFSA would like to remind investors and consumers of financial services not to enter into any financial services transaction unless they have ascertained that the entity with whom the transaction is being made holds a licence to provide such services from the MFSA or another reputable financial services regulator.

What they say here is that Guardian Securities Ltd., which is licensed to give its clients investment advice with respect to global equities, got cloned by some con artists who opened a website with similar website address and the same name, just to attract investors based on the real company’s reputation and then cheat them. In the end, the real company with the licence had to close down and open a new one, because their reputation was erased only because someone again could not read properly.
So the Guardian Securities Ltd no longer exists, as the company renamed itself to Darwin Alpha Limited. Also they changed the name, they still are suffering from the reputation that con artists ruined, and time to time people who do not read the story properly, say some misleading things about it.
About the address, in any office building there are many companies, and as they are in the same building, they all have one address. The company was specializing in Stocks and Bonds, it had nothing to do with Forex at all.
So next time, be more careful before claiming something you know nothing about.
