My first scoundrel is Sergio Caruso, the developer of Primeval-EA.com
I had a lot of people wanting this one to be listed in Performance Testing. I emailed him in March of 2010 and asked if he'd be willing to participate. He agreed.
The problems began with his forums account. Sergio wasn't the most polite in dealing with questions in the Primeval thread. I didn't have a major issue with that. Not everyone is cut out for dealing with the general public. If he wanted to scare away potential clients in the thread dedicated to his own product, that was his loss. The problem was that he started viciously attacking the performance of other EAs in their discussion threads. I warned him to stop. He did, for awhile. Then it started up again. At that point, I banned him from the forums and ended all testing of his products at the FPA.
Donna Forex decided to run some tests on his EA. After awhile, she chose to end the testing. Sergio didn't like this and started rudely attacking her by email. I wouldn't have known about this, but he also left a large number of negative reviews for donnaforex.com under different names so I asked her if she was having issues with Sergio. He also left a fake negative review for Forex Growth Bot.
When I posted in the reviews about his actions, he then did something amazing. He filed an FPA Traders Court review against his own service. The text mostly attacked Donna and the FPA, but the review was left for Primeveal-EA. In the review, he threatened to mail things about the FPA out to his list. I've seen a copy. He's got links to some leftover anti-FPA libel from ForexGen.
Sergio left fake reviews for others, but also left himself a 1 star review. Normally, a company owner isn't allowed to rate his own product, but I made an exception in for this scoundrel. He gets to keep the 1 star he left for himself.
