I am writing on this post, as I was investing with Chad Perez from FX Dynasty LLC from August 2019 and to this day, have no longer been able to communicate with him since last Saturday.
I found him on Telegram through a friend on his free signals channel and after seeing how informative and knowledgable he was with forex, I wanted to speak more with him and learn from him. I messaged him and after a phone call, I wanted to invest the $300 USD lifetime membership with this company which entailed free signals, 1-on-1 learning, and weekly forex webinars (even though he only told one weekly webinar the whole time I paid for that service and it was just me, him and a random girl). He was very good in building trust and being open and honest and I felt that I could really trust him with my money.
After a few weeks, I then decided to invest another $700 USD where it would go into the sharepool. He even said that my initial $300 could go in there as well, making it $1000USD in the sharepool. When we were supposed to withdraw after a few weeks, he messaged me saying that the other investors have all agreed to withdraw around Thanksgiving time. Because I had the least amount in the sharepool, I figured that it makes sense that I wouldn't have weight in withdrawing sooner compared to the other investors who had more.
After still more talks with Chad, building trust and what I thought, an actual sort of friendship, I then invested more money, on top of the so-called profits I had from the sharepool, making it to be about $2800USD on my own account. We had a signed contract that I had sent back and I was very happy with how things were progressing. Then a few weeks ago, he gave a signal to short GPBCAD on the free signals group (which I took on my demo account, since I was still practicing) and a day after, the voting in London had happened and there was that huge long spike which had me lose over $30,000. I can only imagine then how much people had lost with that signal with their real accounts. I didn't think much of it, albeit I was a little concerned with my account if Chad did use that same signal.
The next day there was someone from the FX Dynasty group that wrote "Chad idiot" and when I went to see what was going on, the entire group was no longer there on Telegram. I tried not to overthink things but I messaged Chad a few hours later asking how things were going and how his foot was (he had surgery a few months ago, if that was even true). I saw on my notifications he wrote the next day "Hey! It's good!" and when I went to open it, our entire chat group was deleted and he definitely blocked me as it said that his status was last seen a long time ago, even though he was still posting signals.
I messaged him on Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp, and he saw them all and deleted and blocked me. Out of desperation, I even found someone called Robert Bateman who vouched for him on a voicemail in the signal group and messaged him and he said he would contact Chad for me, which of course, he then blocked me. Funny enough, all of his handles were now changed to Chad Marino.
I was able to connect with a forex guru on Instagram who was kind enough to confirm that indeed I was blocked on everything and just confirmed that fact that I was scammed. I was warned from some people about him and how his stories just weren't adding up. Sadly, Chad is good in really building trust and I was naive enough to be a victim. I have no clue what the hell happened and was hoping to give him the benefit of the doubt that he would unblock and message me, but nothing. I am just grateful that I did not allow any of my friends and family to invest with him because I would not forgive myself if he also stole all their money and left. I just want people to be aware to not be scammed like I did and hopefully others will be able to take their invested money out.
