It's very sad when brokers do this to honest hard-working people. Even more sad the same guys who are scamming people on this side they are recruiting others on the other side. When they are recruiting their systems are working perfectly but, when they are supposed to be paying people or respond to their queries, their systems are supposedly experiencing problems. After reading this thread I applied for an account with them and I have two emails already in my inbox from them.
Honestly, I believe the FPA website should be the first stop for anyone wishing to open an account with any broker. Check the threads for a hint of the broker you are eyeing to open an account with and check which brokers are recommend and widely used by the other soldiers in army.
