Original FPA Traders Court Submission:
I am submitting the case against: www.fantasydreamteam.com/ea.html
My Case is: THIS CASE HAS REACHED A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION. GALINA RECEIVED HER REFUND.
I bought the 2%dailyEA from Richard Swaby in December 2010 for $500.00 .
The vendor promised a 100%-satisfaction-guarantee within a 60-days-period (60-days-money-back guarantee) on his website.
The EA was not profitable. It did not match the advertised results but made losses on most broker platforms.
Although Mister Swaby avertised the EA as "NOT broker dependant" , he confirmed that his EA is broker dependant. He recommends using FinFX-ECN-accounts for his EA. He is an IB for FinFX.
But on FinFX-ECN demo account his EA still wasn´t profitable but lost money during the trial period. This is confirmed by several other victims of Swaby.
Since the 2%dailyEA is useless, I requested the refund and provided Mister Swaby with all trade statements ( FinFX ECN demo , FinFX normal account demo, GoMarkets demo ) which showed the losses
but Mr. Swaby refused to send me the refund.
His strategy for treating his customers is very simple (other victims confirmed it):
1. Blaming the customer for using wrong settings.
When the customer uses exactly the settings which Swaby provides and recommends, the EA still produces losses, but still Swaby is accusing the customer for using wrong settings.
2. Blaming the broker for the losses.
Swaby accuses the customer of using the wrong brokers although he did not even look at the brokers.
When the customer uses the recommended broker for this EA, which is FinFX ECN demo account, the EA still produces losses.
But Swaby publishes fake statements from "satisfied customers" which allegedly get profits. This is strange because all customers I know only get losses.
3. Refusing the refund because the customer has not treated Swaby with the respect he thinks he deserves.
4. Refusing the refund by pointing to the "Terms" on his website.
Mister Swaby forgets that the Terms do not apply for the 60 days money back guarantee.
Basically what Swaby is doing is this:
1. Advertising an EA which makes an average of 2% daily profit.
2. Advertising a 100% satisfaction guarantee within a 60 days trial period.
3. Blaming the customer with made up arguments.
4. Ignoring the valid arguments of the customer and thus provoking him.
5. Blaming the brokers for the losses of his EA.
6. Pointing to the Terms, which means that he never intended to grant a refund. This is intentional fraud.
7. Refusing the refund because the customer was "rude" to him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mister Swaby has removed the money-back-guarantee completely from his website after I began to expose his fraudulent activities, but of course I have stored his website completely with all the money-back-guarantees on it. He is bound to send me the refund.
His EA is worthless and useless.
It makes a few profits, then wipes them out almost each day.
Since Mister Swaby behaves identically with all of his victims, it is about time to expose him with an official Scam warning on FPA. It is the only way to protect other traders from this fraudster and thief.

Richard,
I answered already on FPA.
Everybody must see how you think and act.
1. I never was "rude" to you.
But you were abusive and manipulative from the beginning.
2. I have zero interest in complaining about an EA It is not fun.
I would rather be happy with getting 2% daily or at least 1% daily from your EA.
But it simply isn´t the case.
You have the statements. You see the losses with your own eyes.
3. Your offer to get me an ECN-account at FinFX was a glimpse of hope for me.
But then the EA made big losses on the ECN-account too.
It is not my fault.
What can I do ?
I have the settings correct, I run it from 8am until 20 am GMT as recommended.
There is nothing I can do.
All hope is gone.
4. Your emotions do not count.
What about my emotions ?
Do you know how I felt during the time since I bought the EA ?
Seeing the losses and then getting answers from you like "it is your fault, others make profits".
This is hurting very much.
So if we compare our feelings, I can tell you that you hurt me very much.
And I cannot understand why you are feeling hurt by that e-mail where I told you the discrepancy
between your advertisement and the true performance of the EA.
The refund must not be based on your emotions . It must be based on the facts which I presented.
They speak for themselves.
5. It is not too late for the refund.
You can save yourself a lot of trouble if you send me my money back.
I will delete the postings on FPA and I will not contact the lawyer.
What else do you need ?
Regards,
Galina

You will never ever refund a customer.
If they request a refund, you will point them to the terms.
Is this what you are trying to tell me ?
Please confirm.

Where does it say that your e-mail address is private ?
I cannot find it.
And why do you point me to the terms ?
You rather should point to the refund guarantee, your
100% satisfaction guarantee.
I have removed your e-mail address on FPA, although I cannot understand
why it doesn´t belong there. Just to not give you new "ammunition" for your
dirty tricks you are playing.
You have seen the losses of today.
Your EA does not perform as advertised and because of that the refund is due.
If you pointed me to the terms in order to indicate that you will never honour your
100% satisfaction guarantee, then I understand.
Please confirm that you are not willing to give me the refund.
I will publish your confirmation on FPA.
And FPA is only the beginning, Richard.
You will not get away with my money, I promise you that.

Galina

Richard,
I do not badmouth you.
I only tell potential customers how your EA performs and how you refuse to honour your word.
Calling this "badmouthing" is twisting the truth.
You seem to have a distorted relation to reality, Richard.
Your greed seems to be so strong that you close your eyes to the facts completely.
But believe me: those who read my postings ( and if necessary I will post screenshots and
account statements, no problems, I have it all stored for our case on court )
will clearly see and they have no reason to twist what they see because they
owe me no refund as you do.
I have all the statements to show.
My settings are correct and neither you nor me do know the reason why the EA placed 2 trades
sometimes in December, so stop blaming me for it.
It would have happened on a live account too and the money there would have been lost.
Today the EA made big losses again. See the attached statement for the FinFX ECN demo account.
I would never risk real money with this EA. Everybody with a sound mind would agree.
The errors with multiple trades on the same bar did not happen in January, but the EA
produced losses.
That is fact and I deserve the refund because all conditions for a refund are met.
Why don´t you send me my money ?
What kind of person are you ?
I will not let you go with this.
And why should I remove your e-mail ?
Is it a secret ?
I just copy our discussions.
I still wait for your address. I need it for my lawyer.
Again: I am requesting a refund according to your conditions on your website.
I have saved your website, made screenshots and everything for the case on court if you
keep on refusing the due refund.
Your EA is a loser and does not perform as advertised.
You gave a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
I am 100 % not satisfied. Your EA ist worthless for me.
Accept the plain facts and honour your word.

Galina

Hello Richard,
since you made your mind up to blame and accuse me instead of honouring
your word,
I have taken the first steps to expose you.
This is only the beginning.
It is clear that your EA is not performing as advertised and your website
is misleading potential customers.
I have listed the facts for you but you ignore them.
This is not excusable and it shows that your only goal is to not grant a refund
which is due according to your conditions for a refund.
I will wait for some time to give you a chance to refund the money which you owe me.
If you do not pay, I will contact a lawyer and take legal steps against you.
Today the EA made more losses.
It proves itself as a losing EA which cannot be trusted.
This confirms what other traders are telling about your manual 2% method.
Here is the thread on FPA where I started to expose your business practices:
https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/forex-forum/trading-systems/10400-fantasydreamteam-com-2-percent-solution-richard-swaby.html#post54636
I have submitted a review too but it takes a few days until the Mod will post it on the Reviews section for your 2%daily trading system.
Watch for it.
You are responsible for this all and I recommend that you solve this matter by sending me my money asap.
It costs you only a few mouse-clicks and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

Galina
